Seriously? The BBC just called Ben Gurion Airport, "Ben Gvir Airport." If you don't know the difference betwen Israel's current security minister and its first prime minister, maybe all the bias in your coverage is explained by your ignorance 🤷‍♂️

Chers spécialistes du "génocide", qui avez appris le mot le 8 octobre, votre intelligence m'impressionne et me dépasse. Un modeste idiot vous soumet ses questions, soyez indulgents : - Pourquoi plus de 97% des Gazaouis sont-ils toujours en vie après trois ans de guerre, si c'est un génocide ? - Pourquoi s'être retiré de Gaza en 2005 si le projet est un génocide ? - Pourquoi fournir l'électricité et une partie de l'eau de Gaza pendant 18 ans, si le projet est un génocide ? - Pourquoi près de 20 000 Gazaouis avaient-ils un permis de travail en Israël la veille du 7 octobre, si le projet est un génocide ? - Pourquoi attendre 75 ans, et commencer pile après le pire massacre de Juifs depuis la Shoah, si le projet est un génocide ? - Pourquoi le Hamas, dont la charte appelle à tuer les Juifs et qui a mis son programme en pratique en massacrant des familles entières le 7 octobre, n'est-il jamais accusé de génocide, lui ? - Pourquoi prévenir par SMS et par tracts avant de frapper, si c'est un génocide ? - Pourquoi publier des cartes d'évacuation quartier par quartier, si c'est un génocide ? - Pourquoi envoyer des soldats mourir dans les rues au lieu de tout raser d'en haut, si c'est un génocide ? - Pourquoi le Hamas se cache-t-il sous les civils, alors que les boucliers humains ne marchent que contre une armée qui les épargne, si c'est un génocide ? - Pourquoi vacciner des centaines de milliers d'enfants palestiniens contre la polio, si c'est un génocide ? - Pourquoi faire entrer des dizaines de milliers de camions de nourriture, si c'est un génocide ? - Pourquoi évacuer des milliers de malades vers des hôpitaux étrangers, si c'est un génocide ? - Pourquoi accepter des cessez-le-feu en échange d'otages, si c'est un génocide ? - Pourquoi arrêter la guerre le jour où le Hamas rend les otages, si c'est un génocide ? - Pourquoi épargner les 2 millions d'Arabes israéliens d'origine palestinienne (20 % de la population), si c'est un génocide ? - Pourquoi la guerre est-elle à Gaza et pas en Cisjordanie, où vit la majorité des Palestinien, si c'est un génocide ? - Pourquoi parlait-on déjà de génocide avant même l'entrée des troupes à Gaza, si c'est un constat et non un slogan ?
Atroce cette photo de Gaza. Si ça ce n'est pas la preuve d'un géno… Oups, c'est Mossoul. Rasée par la coalition, avec la France, pour vaincre Daech.

Gazan dissident Mostafa Asfour says the “culture of death” instilled in Gazan children for over a generation is “the core issue” standing in the way of any viable reconstruction plan. Demilitarisation is only half the problem in Gaza; deradicalisation and removal of weapons must go hand in hand.

The new documentary “This is our story” from @manototv compiled over 10,000 clips of raw footage captured by Iranian protesters and reveals the savagery of the regime against the people. It is a living testament of those who gave their lives for a free Iran, for the hope of a better tomorrow, even when they themselves were the future. We have failed the Iranian people as an international community and silenced their voice…and every person of conscience has a responsibility to know the truth and to fight against the Islamic republic until it is in the dustbin of history, where it belongs. My heroes: the Iranian people. This week on #TheQuad on @JNS_org:

Let's be honest: if a plane full of Jews landed in Spain, Ireland or Canada they'd be treated with a lot less kindness that they were shown in Saudi. The comments in this thread from Saudis are warming. This is what the future holds.
After FlyDubai emergency landing in Saudi Arabia, Saudi medical teams offered care to the 150 Israeli nationals on board. Saudis should be proud of these teams. Arab tradition teaches that “rescue of the distressed” comes before anything else. This was a great time to show it.

If you destroy or damage most of the buildings while fighting the terror state housed in tunnels underneath them, but 98% of the civilians are still alive, despite being barred by Egypt from fleeing the war zone, and sometimes being prevented by the terror state from fleeing even direct warnings of impending strikes, it's very strong evidence of "not genocide."
destroying a bunch of buildings is not a genocide.

There must be an investigation of the BBC's news values A group there is pursuing a hidden agenda, and destroying the BBC's reputation for a decade
You can’t hate the BBC enough. With the story about this terrorist co-pilot that stabbed the pilot and planned to crash the FlyDubai flight. The BBC are only reporting it as “Israel’s far-right minister Ben Gvir SAYS it was a terrorist that wanted to crash the plane to kill Israelis” Not the fact it actually WAS a terrorist, or that the Israeli passengers STOPPED the terrorist, and passengers recorded a video stating it was a terrorist attack and also that every Israeli official and news outlet says it was a terrorist attack. They had to say that it’s only the “Far Right” Minister Ben Gvir (who they know is disliked) that claims it was a terrorist attack. And of course their actual headline calls it a “Flight fight” This is not journalism, this is whitewashing of terrorism from an Anti-Israel propaganda network. It seems whenever there is a terrorist attack against Jews, they cannot seem to say those words themselves. And of course they won’t admit that it was Jews that saved a plane full of innocent people either. The brave Israelis that stopped this terrorist attack saved 180 people on that plane. That’s fact. No wonder so many people want to cancel the BBC licence.

I just followed a link to read a post in the app formerly (and currently) known as Twitter, and then found myself clicking on the big X at the top of the page to get out of it. Hmmm…

Friend and colleague @hbstrub did doctoral work around the notion of "Cognitive Customizations" - things end-user consumers can do with pens, paint, stickers etc. to modify devices to address problems with their interfaces. Here's what I'd do to make this more usable.
How to improve mask recommendations with community data, and one question that would make testing data more informative. imageinate.blogspot.com/2021… @CDCgov @CDCDirector

Glad to finally see a paper on "explainability" arxiv.org/pdf/2003.07523.pdf that explains why explainability cannot be achieved through data-centric thinking, but requires world knowledge about what is to be explained.

So, Echo buds are for sale and have been shipping from #Amazon, yet the site won't allow reviews because "this item has not been released yet." So no customer reviews. #echobuds
