🧠fNIRS study examining brain activity during group creativity suggests that interbrain coupling in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex predicts group creativity, while interbrain coupling in the inferior frontal gyrus predicts herding.

We wrote a letter on the academic boycott of Israel

Boycotting a major liberal sector in Israel can be counterproductive, empowering extremists

Promoting inclusivity and dialogue is a better path to fostering change in Israel

Boycotting academics in Israel is counterproductive https://t.co/0Qw80tXHyH
In this correspondence to Nature, my colleagues Mouna Maroun, Ahmad Abu-Akel, Roi Avraham, Shir Atzil, and I explain why boycotting the Israeli academia is counterproductive.

סנאט האוניברסיטה בחר בפרופ' @MounaMaroun לרקטורית הבאה!
פורפ' מארון חוקרת את הבסיס העצבי והמולקולרי של הפרעות חרדה ופוסט טראומה, וניסיונותיה למצוא דרך "למחוק" זיכרונות של פחד. את דרכה החלה כסטודנטית מבטיחה לתואר ראשון ממש כאן באוניברסיטה, וכאן המשיכה את לימודיה עד לסיום הדוקטורט. היא ניפצה תקרות זכוכית כשהפכה לאישה הראשונה מהכפר שלה שסיימה דוקטורט ולפרופסורית הערבייה הראשונה בישראל למדעי המוח, וממשיכה לפרוץ דרך במחקריה כל הזמן. בשנתיים האחרונות כיהנה כסגנית נשיא ודיקן למחקר.
אנחנו נרגשים/ות וגאים/ות שאשה פורצת דרך ומעוררת השראה כזאת תהיה בשנים הקרובות חלק מהנהגת המערכת האקדמית של האוניברסיטה, ואין לנו ספק שהיא תעשה זאת בהצלחה רבה – כמו כל דבר שעשתה עד היום.

Nobel laureate in a conference

[Hussain Abdul-Hussain @hahussain]

Left: Arab Mansour Abbas was born in the Galilee and is leader of a bloc of 5 seats in Israeli Knesset. He won votes of 200k Arab Israelis. Abbas calls on Hamas to surrender its arms and join the Palestinian Authority to build a Palestinian state that can live next to Israel.
Right: Arab Rashida Tlaib was born in Michigan and is member of US Congress. She won 200k votes, at most 25k of which were Arab, the rest White and African American. But Tlaib thinks she represents all Arabs of Historic Palestine, including Arab Israelis, and speaks on their behalf (whether they like it or not), seen in this pic donning the kufiyah (while Abbas, secure in his skin, does not need one to prove his identity). Tlaib thinks Hamas is resistance, that "Palestine should be free from the river to the sea by any means necessary" (read, Israel should be destroyed, by force if needed).
When gauging Arab and Palestinian opinion about the Arab Israeli conflict, why does the world listen to Michigan's Tlaib, who was elected by Americans, but not to Galilee's Abbas, who was elected by Palestine's Arabs?

The atrocities of Hamas captivity are starting to be revealed. 12-year-old Eitan was brutally beaten on the day he was kidnapped by crowds of "innocent" residents in Gaza.

In captivity, he was forced to watch horrific videos of the massacre and torture by the terrorists from October 7th. He also said that the terrorists threatened them with weapons when the kidnapped children were crying. This is the truth about Hamas, who try to present themselves as humane, but they are simply sadistic terrorists!

@social_brains Thank you, Matt, for having the courage to speak the truth. It is truly disappointing to see that many U.S. professors and students display a superficial understanding of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. There is a lack of historical knowledge and an unwillingness to learn.

הילרי קלינטון נותנת פה הסבר מפורט וחשוב לגזרת ישראל-עזה לציבור האמריקאי. ״ב-6 באוקטובר הייתה הפסקת אש וחמאס שבר אותה״.
״חמאס שם תחמושת במנהרות מתחת לאזרחים ובתי חולים״.
וגם: ״בעלי הציע לפלסטינים להקים מדינה, אם ערפאת לא היה מסרב, המדינה הזאת הייתה חוגגת 23 שנים״.

600,000 German civilians were killed during WW2

76,000 of those deaths were children

One night, when the Allies raided Hamburg, 45,000 people died

Does that make the Allies the villains of WW2?

(Correct answer: No, it's still the Nazis)

Why?

The goal of war is for good to defeat evil

The Nazis were evil for invading Europe and committing genocide

Hamas is evil for attacking Israel and swearing to do it again and again until they have murdered all of the Jews in the region

Of course, targeting civilians is wrong (like what Hamas did on October 7), and that is very different from civilians dying because the morally good government is targeting military threats coming from the morally evil government that started the conflict (like Israel and the Allies)

[Shir Atzil @shiratzil]

Israel is fighting Hamas terrorists, not the Palestinian people
