Today, I joined 500+ researchers from 70 countries in calling on world leaders to create an International Panel on Inequality modelled after the IPCC— as recommended by the G20 Committee on Inequality led by @JosephEStiglitz. Help us spread the call.

Western discourse about the ceasefire is so full of double standards it truly boggles the mind.
The West insists that Hamas must be disarmed because of October 7... but if we accept this logic we surely must conclude that Israel, which has committed *actual genocide for two years running*, must also be disarmed, and even more urgently.
The West insists that Hamas cannot have any role in governance of Gaza (irrespective of whatever the wishes of people in Gaza may be). But again, if we accept this logic then Netanyahu, Likud and the other parties that govern Israel, which again committed *actual genocide*, must also be forcibly removed and debarred from governance.
The West insists that Palestinians must be "deradicalized". How could this possibly not apply a thousand times more to Israeli society, which has actively conducted and supported the genocide with little to no dissent?
In other words, even by the West's own logic, leaving aside all other aspects of international law, we should disarm Israel, forcibly remove its government, and impose deradicalization on Israeli society in order to prevent it from posing any further threat.

The imminent famine in the northern part of Gaza is an entirely manmade disaster.
I repeat my call for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire.
We must act now to prevent the unthinkable, the unacceptable, the unjustifiable.
Estamos viviendo un proceso de adoctrinamiento y una ofensiva mediática y cultural que pretende convencernos de la necesidad de armarse más y prepararnos para una guerra no muy lejana. El miedo, el shock, para que aceptemos cualquier cosa. Hay que plantarse ante esto.
