How can we achieve #biodiversity policy aims like EU Nature Restoration law, if we don't understand past states or long-term change?
New paper drawing on historical sources

The psychologist I saw in LA has been flying survivors of 7 October to the USA for pioneering PTSD treatment. It’s an all-volunteer team and they need to fundraise to keep going.
“I want to now help the Israelis who are seeing the most severe trauma that most people have ever seen. It’s multiple layers of trauma at once. It’s not just a rape. It’s a gang rape. It’s not just a gang rape of twelve people. It’s a gang rape of hundreds of people. It’s not just a murder. It’s a murder with watching your parents’ eyes gouged out while they’re still alive and their bodies burned alive. It’s not just the loss of a family member. It’s the loss of family members…and another family member who’s a hostage living in the tunnels someplace in Gaza.”

@CulturalCritiq1 has apologized by stating it was "mistakenly excluded from consideration...on the basis of [the author's] university affiliation". The email is quite clearly and shamelessly discriminatory to me...
A dangerous example of excluding Jews and Israelis from academic life:
Cultural Critique (@CulturalCritiq1) is an academic journal published by the University of Minnesota Press (@UMinnPress).
It operates from within the University of Minnesota (@UMNews) - a *public* university funded by tax payers' money.
Recently, this journal received a submission from an Israeli post-doc *in an American university*.
His submission was rejected.
His only crime? Having previous been associated with an Israeli university.
All the editors and associate editors of this journal must be fired.
Please share if you agree.
Actually @ICRCPresident, you know what is a “moral failure”? That after 74 days, @ICRC has not seen a single hostage, obtained any proof of life or delivered any medicine.
Just like your abandonment of Jews in the Holocaust was a moral failure, so is your abandonment now!
A story about Radio-Canada (perhaps CBC too). We held a private screening in Montreal of unreleased footage of the October 7 massacre in Israel. A few days after sending the invitations I received a mail from someone not invited from @RadioCanadaInfo. She thanked me for the invite but, she wrote, no one could attend as Radio Canada was busy that day.
Someone not from Radio Canada, with no knowledge of the mail I had received, told me Radio Canada held some form of executive meeting and decided no-one from Radio Canada would participate in the screening. “They want to remain neutral” he told me (he called it a BS position). Another person, also not from Radio Canada, asked me why Radio Canada had not participated. I got the clear impression he too knew of Radio Canada’s decision to avoid exposure to significant and relevant material on a subject they are giving extensive coverage to.
I replied to Radio Canada’s mail, suggesting they choose a day and time convenient and I would arrange a special screening for them. A week later I sent a reminder mail. Another week has passed and still no response. I can only conclude that the two people who made it clear to me that Radio Canada objected to viewing the unreleased footage were correct and the Radio Canada employee who politely told me they were busy at the time was just too embarrassed to be honest.
I have been contacted by more than one Radio Canada journalist asking whether the rumour is true that Radio Canada “boycotted” the screening and asking whether I could invite them to a future screening. The offer remains - should Radio Canada wish to see significant and relevant material on a subject they are giving extensive coverage to, I will arrange a screening for them. (I invited @CBCNews journalists too. They simply didn’t respond to the invite.)
Israel told you Hamas burned babies alive on October 7th, but you refused to believe it. Now international journalists have confirmed seeing the evidence.
Israel told you the Al-Ahli hospital attack on October 17th was caused by a Palestinian rocket, and you refused to believe it, again. A week later German, British, and US intelligence have confirmed it.
Israel told you Hamas is using Shifa hospital as a terror hub, but you refused to believe it. Today, US intelligence has confirmed that too.
Israel told you Hamas is a threat to Israeli and Palestinian civilians and to peace. But you refuse to believe it and call on Israel to ceasefire.
What needs to happen for you to wake up?
@Saul_Sadka What a sinister bunch we are! Clearly the only reasonable response to a poster of a kidnapped Jew (sorry zionist) is to tear it down. Pure entrapment!
" I was struck by the power of fear-mongering, how rumour and disinformation fuelled antisemitic lies which led to normal people to commit atrocities." Or excuse them.
Another ISIS flag left by Hamas in Kibbutz Sufa.
The world should know the truth - this is ISIS.
Not freedom fighters.
Not "We condemn both sides".
There is no option to have peace talks with a fundamentalist terror organization who's charter explicitly mentions the total annihilation of the state of Israel and the declaration of an Islamic state.
If ISIS gets to Israel now, it will reach your home later.
Please share the truth.
