@JesseBrown @TheAtlantic One day, students will study these pieces as case studies in propaganda, produced while actual pogroms and ethnic cleansing were live-streamed to the world, and authored by those who enabled and justified unspeakable horrors in the name of ethnic supremacy.

@shashj @owenjonesjourno Shashank, you didn’t just uncritically report these claims (which were being used by Israel to drum up support for genocide) you then implied anyone who questioned them had ulterior motives. x.com/michaeljswalke…
Michael Walker@michaeljswalker

Is everyone just memory-holing that back in October the head of Israel’s national forensic unit said babies were beheaded, our establishment press went along with it, anyone who didn’t was demonised, and then it turned out to be completely untrue?

The new plan is apparently to make as many people as possible as miserable as they can be made without blowing them up. And this will be pursued with the same relentless ingenuity as blowing them up was.

As a Palestinian myself who actually has ancestry that goes back hundreds of years, I can tell you that your activism from Silicon Valley is the WORST thing for us. You frame it as child murder yet you never acknowledge the terrorism that has infiltrated the Palestinian cause which is destroying all of Palestine. Stop being intellectually dishonest.

The obsessive hate from some parts of the VC community towards Palestinians is beyond insane. Why do they need to baselessly frame Palestinians in totally unrelated incidents? I suspect it’s to justify the mass child murder they’ve been cheering on in Gaza.
Evan Hill@evanhill

After months of inflammatory posts targeting Muslims and pro-Palestine activists, Sequoia Capital partner Shaun Maguire falsely accused a Palestinian student at Brown University of being responsible for the mass shooting at the University fastcompany.com/91463942/sequo…

@paulg @amasad Literally 100s of VC firms signed an "I Stand with Israel" letter as it was carrying out genocide against Palestinians. I don't know of any of those firms who has retracted their statement or publicly expressed their opposition to Israel's crimes.

@amasad I wouldn't even call it parts of the VC community. It's just a handful of extremists who happen to work as VCs.

Despite studying the Holocaust my entire adult life, I could never fully comprehend how it happened – how so many people did the most inhumane things – and how millions more dismissed it as nonsense or not their problem. Since October 7th, everything is so much clearer now.

NEW | Instagram has removed the verified account of Gaza slain journalist Saleh al-Jafarawi, who had 4.5 million followers. Archived snapshots of his page on the Wayback Machine, the largest public internet archive, also appear to have been wiped or disabled, raising concerns about digital erasure of Palestinian documentation. Al-Jafarawi, known for his frontline reporting on the Gaza genocide, had previously faced repeated censorship. He was killed yesterday by an armed group collaborating with Israel. Observers warn that these developments may signal “a new phase in efforts to erase evidence of Israeli war crimes from the internet.”

You sir should NOT speak, and should stay quiet and thank God that we don't live in a world that has any semblance of justice as otherwise you would be rotting in jail, or at least hiding from the law, not trying to pretend that you didn't fund and support a genocide.
Antony Blinken@ABlinken

(1/12) In Gaza today, the guns are largely silent. If all goes as planned, the remaining Israeli hostages will return home. Palestinians will get the relief they desperately need and deserve. Nothing can erase the pain and loss of the past two years. But there is real hope of building on this step to finally end the war. President Trump and his envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner deserve our collective thanks for producing this ceasefire and the renewed possibility of lasting peace. A few reflections on how we reached this moment and where it could lead:

A fellow Palestinian-Jordanian-American just won the Noble Prize for chemistry.
The Nobel Prize@NobelPrize

This year’s chemistry laureate Omar Yaghi was born in Amman, Jordan, in 1965 to parents who were refugees from Palestine. When we spoke to him he shared his story: “I grew up in a very humble home, we were a dozen of us in one room, sharing it with the cattle that we used to raise. I was born in a family of refugees, and my parents could barely read or write. My father finished sixth grade and my mother couldn’t read or write. It’s quite a journey. Science allows you to do it. Science is the greatest equalising force in the world. Smart people, talented people, skilled people exist everywhere. That’s why we really should focus on unleashing their potential through providing them with opportunity.” Today Yaghi shared the 2025 Nobel Prize in Chemistry with Susumu Kitagawa and Richard Robson for their work developing metal–organic frameworks.

When I first spoke out about the genocide, I was one of the few voices in tech, and it came at a cost. I faced sabotage especially from the VC class: lies, leaks, threats, and blocked investments. It was painful, but I never once regretted standing up for the children in Gaza. Today, the tide in tech has shifted. The truth is undeniable. If you’ve been holding back, now is the time to speak out and call out anyone supporting or celebrating genocide. It won’t cost you much—in fact, it will earn you respect, and more importantly a clear conscious. Plus, alienating those who will hate you for speaking is a feature, not a bug.

@msuster @shaunmmaguire The meaning of "intifada" has been grossly twisted by Israeli crime apologists. Refusing to endorse that interpretation was the right call. If intifada means what you say, then there's a stronger argument that Zionism means apartheid, genocide, & death to others.

I support @shaunmmaguire Any attempt to cancel him is absurd. His willingness to call out extremism is appreciated. He stated 2 things: - Zohran Mamdani refused to refute “globalize the intifada” - His father has publicly called for violence to incite change in policies & this is radical and un American. Both of these things are provably true. He voices strong opinions forcefully. You won’t always agree but he’s data oriented, high integrity & certainly not a racist. Cancel culture needs to be cancelled.

@DrSyedHaider @jeremykauffman Almost correct. Given that the *false negative* rate is unknown (not necessarily 0%), there's no guarantee that the 1 person who actually has the disease would test positive. Therefore the correct answer should be "at most 1.96%", as someone else has already answered.

Dr. Syed Haider:@DrSyedHaider·
This can be confusing for people, but it is easy to figure out the answer, and almost anyone can follow the logic: Say you have a population of 1000 people. We are told that 1 of them definitely has the disease. But if we test the entire population we will get 50 (5%) positive results that do not have the disease (false positives). We will also get 1 true positive result for the one person who has the disease. So we have 51 positive results in total of which 1 is a true positive. So the chances of a positive result actually being true is 1/51 = 0.0196, or 1.96%. This problem is taught in med school in a single course on introductory medical statistics and then promptly forgotten after the final exam is passed.
