Today the @LRB is publishing my piece about the history of the Israeli settlements around the Gaza Strip. It is an effort to think through the historical context of current events. https://t.co/6aIFZsfPlx

(7) To “eradicate” the “ideology” of Hamas the occupation needs to end. Give Palestinians the dignity and right to live they have been asking for for more than 75 years and you will tear away at the core of what makes up groups like Hamas

Kindness towards one group of refugees can teach us all to be more kind to all other people fleeing wars ... the dream of a world without borders should be our inspiration... it can turn into a strategy that changes reality for the better #VictoriaAmelina https://t.co/ObakYIowh1

As we reported frm #Seychelles, coastal #wetlands could be crucial in removing #carbon from our atmosphere, but are too often undervalued. Seychelles is doing something different & wants to make #bluecarbon a resource @UNinSeychelles @SeyCCAT @UNEP https://t.co/sbLWqLr3tD
