Out in @TrendsCognSci: when we make choices about war, terrorism, and political violence, we are making deontological moral (what is right?) rather than instrumentally rational judgements (what are the consequences?) https://t.co/086J0yrSHN. Preprint: https://t.co/oC4OW8164g
@LironZaret14925@IhabHassane As hominem attacks represent defeat of an argument. They don’t worry me - except yours are quite predictable. A bit of wit would help.
@hadar_yanai@NexusProjectUS A third example, you have classical acts of political violence like the Bondi massacre (which is personally painful to me). Certainly it’s not an accident this occurred in relation to the genocide. But atm I would class it as a political act (monstrous as it targets civilians).
@hadar_yanai There are corners of the anti-Zionist/anti-genocide movt that is motivated by classical antisemitism and it sees an opportunity to expose itself without shame. I’m not sure though we need a new name for this. But it’s important to document @NexusProjectUS does this well 2/n
@LironZaret14925@IhabHassane This is getting tiresome. I think you understand that they started the war by invading Egypt. I suggest you read a few books beyond propaganda.
A few months ago, a high profile paper in Science claimed to find that researchers' ideology produced biased results in favour of immigration.
A reanalysis of the data finds that result came from a coding error, which once corrected, shows no effect.
Will people who shared that original finding update their views?

"If these hatreds rise together, feeding on conspiracy theories and the politics of fear, they cannot be defeated apart. The pernicious bargain that insists on trading in the safety of one community for the rejection of another is a false one."
@OpenSociety president Binaifer Nowrojee's op-ed in The Guardian is a MUST READ.

Standard anti- Zionist line - but almost nobody says this. Zionists criticise Netanyahu and Israeli givernments and policies all the time. I do it myself. Millions of ISRAELIS do it - in the streets! That's not the same as calling for the end of its existence.
The UN adds Israel and Russia to a blacklist of countries engaged in sexual violence, after documenting “patterns of sexual violence” by Israelis against Palestinians, citing assaults on 14 men, seven women, nine boys and one girl from Gaza and the West Bank. Israel said it would cut off ties with the UN Secretary General; seems to me it would make more sense to investigate and allow Red Cross visits. https://t.co/9wSkaVsvfx
"Free Palestine." Cool. Name the government. Draw the borders. Describe the constitution. Tell me what happens to 2 million Israeli Arabs. Tell me if gay people can live openly. Tell me if Jews can pray at the Western Wall. I've got all day. You've had years.
מאמר המערכת הבוקר:
"אם לישראל אין אכן מה להסתיר לגבי המתרחש בתוך בתי הכלא מדוע הממשלה לא מאפשרת לאנשי הצלב האדום לבקר את האסירים הביטחוניים? כיצד ייתכן שבפרק זמן של שנתיים וחצי מתו 98 בני אדם בבתי הכלא הישראליים? איך ייתכן שעצורים מאבדים עשרות קילוגרמים ממשקלם בשל מחסור במזון בבתי הכלא? האם יכול להיות שתחת השר המופקר בן גביר ונציב השב"ס, החשוד בפלילים, קובי יעקובי, הפכו בתי הכלא הישראליים למערך של מחנות עינויים?"
