We need to use our species capacity of science and love to tend to the world around us. That is like our ultimate duty so never forget it

In 2023, alongside 20 other American species, the Hawaiian bird Kauaʻi ʻōʻō was officially declared extinct; and with it, its entire genus.

an article about the incident. michael eisen is jewish and has israeli family and they fired him for "siding" with palestine

if you're in science and particularly academia, you can sign onto the letter of support for michael eisen here. they allow anonymous signatures as well.

if you're european, you can go to this site, click on your country at the top bar, and it will tell you how to reach your representatives and also provides an already written script which you can simply copy and paste. alternatively, this google doc also provides scripts for different countries.

the site-provided script calls for a ceasefire, the google doc puts emphasis on israel's war crimes and their violation of the geneva conventions.

here is a good site for UK folks, it automates the process for you for those who are unsure who their local MP is. and here is another one that does the same for canadians. both provide scripts.

I don't have a script but if you're in the US you can find your representatives here. Make sure once you have menu options/an intern you ask to be directed to their DC office. Also, if you think your specific rep will be more swayed by "ceasefire for the sake of the hostages" then you can emphasize that.

Israel holds the record for most children killed in a three week conflict

1 Palestinian child is murdered in every 10 minutes in Gaza.

Israel celebrating being the biggest child killer like:

I'm reading about how Israel, in the immediate aftermath of the 1948 Nakba, deliberately replaced olive trees and other indigenous flora with European plants. This ecological disaster, which is now proudly hailed under the banner of 'making the desert bloom,' was done to 'de-Arabize' the landscape, and to cover up - often with fast-growing European pine trees -the ruins of Palestinian villages that were destroyed by Zionists forces.

And I just need everyone to read this passage from Pappé, because the symbolism of what happened to those European pine trees in the desert speaks for itself:

it rules that the only act of "antisemitism" that will be recognized and materially punished in the western world in the current day is mourning the death of Palestinian children

a literal nazi from the ww2 got a standing ovation in the canadian parliament like a week ago and now doctors are getting doxxed for saying it's wrong to kill children

Palestine TV correspondent Salman Al-Bashir throws his press vest and helmet to the ground live on air moments after his colleague Mohammad Abu Hatab was martyred in an IOF airstrike on his home in Khan Younis.

"These are simply symbolic items we wear. They don't protect any journalist. None of this does. We are simply victims live on air, sacrificing our souls one after the other. We go as martyrs only. It is only a matter of time.

Our colleague Mohammed Abu Hattab was here just half an hour ago before he was martyred with many of his family members."
