1/ I’m an Israeli historian. My community is still too silent about the horrible war in Gaza. Over 8 months I’ve closely followed the war, reading >1000 articles and viewing >1000 videos/images of the war from all sides. My summary conclusions & full report are in the 🧵:

@elonmusk This incorrect characterization is indeed troubling if not irresponsible. But having just spent time with a small indigenous village newly connected via Starlink, I’ve seen the double-edged sword firsthand. The chief’s struggles are real. It’s also irresponsible not (CONT’D)

@elonmusk …to grapple with how infrastructure, whether roads or now the internet, hasn’t always been benign. Consider the grotesque deforestation along every road through the rainforest—roads built with good intentions but little thought to the unforeseen horrors they bring.

It was disrespectful & unkind of The New York Times to say that about the tribe
S.E. Robinson, Jr.@SERobinsonJr
The @nytimes posted a false story about Starlink and an Amazon Tribe becoming addicted to porn 🤦♂️ They have apologized and corrected the story, highlighting Starlink's benefits in healthcare, education, business, and communication. My thoughts, the subject and accusations of the original article alone requires 100% accuracy before being published. It was done on purpose. Apology not accepted.

I wrote this on 10.15.24. Someone just sent it to me. It made me wonder how humanity once again finds Itself struggling to stop a tragedy that is so obviously and heinously wrong. What will it take? link.medium.com/w2f9zS8NZJb

Is Israel committing humanitarian crimes in Gaza? The Israeli gov’t strenuously denies it.
Aryeh Neier, a giant in the world of human rights who escaped Nazi Germany and later cofounder Human Rights Watch, says the answer is yes.

Jeffrey Gettleman, the NYT correspondent who claimed with absolute confidence to have proven that Hamas employed "systematic sexual violence" on October 7, now says, "it's not my role" to provide evidence for the claims he published
First time I've heard a self-styled journalist attempt to minimize the importance of evidence, but understandable given the NYT already canceled a podcast episode about Gettleman's discredited article under internal pressure
Dawn Clancy@dawnmclancy
“And what we found I don't want to even use the word evidence because evidence is almost like the legal term that suggests you're trying to prove an allegation or prove a case in court.” @nytimes journo @gettleman describing his reporting in, Screams Without Words, as not evidence. @pass_blue @theintercept @AliAbunimah

Dakota Johnson says "it’s really f*cking bleak in this industry. It is majorly disheartening."
“The people who run streaming platforms don’t trust creative people or artists to know what’s going to work, and that is just going to make us implode. It’s really heartbreaking. It’s just f*cking so hard. It’s so hard to get anything made."
"Everyone who makes decisions is afraid. They want to do the safe thing, and the safe thing is really boring."

Origin is a helluva film. All

I’ve said this before. I’ll say it again. Change won’t come from inside. We need to stop wasting precious resources aimed at persuading industry behemoths and take the initiative to create new, external ecosystems that unlock new markets and outshine their failing models.
