"You should write a book because – long after all of your essays and blogposts and op-eds have been lost to time – that ragged, dusty hardcover book will still be sitting on the shelf of a library somewhere. And someone that you have never met, in a place that you have never been, can pick it up and look at it."

An interesting paper about Y-shaped polymer brushes. End-grafted, one arm is hydrophobic and the other is hydrophilic. Depending on solvent exposure history, the microscopic configuration of the arms are different, resulting in different macroscopic wetting.

"Among those arrested included a Rabbi leading the protestors in prayer when she was arrested. The group held a banner reading, "Southern Jews say Stop Funding Genocide," and planted an 8-foot-tall olive tree in the road to symbolize solidarity with Palestine."

"In their decade-long search for a safe haven outside China, tens of thousands of asylum seekers have been met with cruelty and indifference. Far from protecting them from refoulement, host countries have, in hundreds of cases, bent to China’s demands to repatriate them. Thousands more have been subjected to local imprisonment, intimidation and other forms of transnational repression."

You might beard the news about the most "moral", US sponsored IDF burning children alive in refugee camps, and hitting UN peacekeepers. Well,it turns out they have threatened UN before, on April 18th, 1996 and murdered 100 refugees in Lebanon in UN protected area. The heroes, the Irish stood their ground to mitigate.

Prophecy by David Seltzer is one of the best books I read recently. A true page turner.

In one scene, a native Indian representative asks the US senators a really good question about land ownership.

Glad to see the world is slowly standing up to racist Zionists.

This human-shaped individual was asked to leave for openly celebrating the destruction of Gaza by the "most moral army" of the world.

What's been unfolding since the Israel's revengeful invasion of Gaza shows how high technology coupled with crippling morality could affect humanity. Usage of "Where's daddy" program to locate suspected Hamas militants from their WhatsApp locations to now infiltrating explosives into pagers and blowing up remotely.

I don't think the Israeli government and it's genocidal enabler US didn't think through. But I'm glad my phone is Korean- made.

One of the main reasons the US, regardless of which party controls the presidency, the congress or the house, have been eager to finance war efforts since the WWII is that Lockheed Martin, RTX, Northrop Grumman, Boeing and General Dynamics always wants money, and have enough to buy or influence the politicians and the media.

I wonder if the bosses of these arms companies ever thanked Israel.

Words like "lazy," "uneducated," and "backwards" have often been used by those in power to justify the genocide of certain groups throughout history. But what happens when the targeted group doesn't fit that description? In such cases, the oppressors tries to make sure it does—by destroying cultural institutions, bombing schools, and intimidating or arresting intellectuals and scholars.

"As a former IDF soldier and historian of genocide, I was deeply disturbed by my recent visit to Israel
Israeli soldiers in the Gaza Strip in January.

This summer, one of my lectures was protested by far-right students. Their rhetoric brought to mind some of the darkest moments of 20th-century history – and overlapped with mainstream Israeli views to a shocking degree." #FreePalestine

A tweet from the president of the only Middleastern democratic country with the most moral army. He's complaining that illegal settlers hurting the legal settlers. I winder if #isral also has differentiations on stealing and thievery.
