Saying what can't be said: Israel has been defeated – a total defeat / Chaim Levinson

The US and UK are willing to intercept Iranian weapons that could harm Israeli civilians, but they wouldn't do the same (or even attempt to regulate) for Israeli munitions on Palestinian civilians. It may seem like an obvious point, but it's another good indication of the value…

Over 2 months since this was noticed & it seems ACL 2024 execs find it optional, since 6 papers of the 10 removed the section, while 4 insisted to keep it.

It even propagated to NeurIPS Conference with 2 papers used similar wording!

Just remember who is setting the standards!

This is true and I’d certainly welcome more independent or conservative leaning experts. However, unfortunately the extreme right seems more interested in suing and attacking this field rather than constructively contributing to it.

New study alert! Inoculation reduces misinformation: experimental evidence from a field study with the largest newspaper in Brazil!

Very impressive and great to see more evidence from the global south!

The fact of the matter is that many many many Jews are disgusted by #israeliWarCrimes , by #GazaGenocide , by the hijacking of their identity by colonialist thugs.
Criticizing #IsraeliApartheid is human, supporting it is #Antisemitic

This article says ISRAEL SCREWED UP big time!

It felt satisfying to read it, coming from the Economist - which I despise!

Of course it also says that Israel needs to be saved by the West (USA) before it screws up even more

US politics!

#NLProc Community, thanks to everyone who's shown incredible interest in #CLEF2024 's #CheckThatLab2024 shared task! Like previous years, the enthusiasm and registrations have been overwhelming. Haven't signed up yet? There's still time!

I want to remind all those spineless academics who claim neutrality as their colleagues are suspended that their indifference is a political position, one that is aligned to dominant interests. Your neutrality is another word for complicity. You are part of the problem.
