Help hold me accountable, friends of Mastodon: I swear that I’m not doing anymore career conference panels. It doesn’t matter if the conference is free (because not having to pay to donate my time isn’t actually a perk of any kind). It doesn’t matter if I like the people organizing it. It especially doesn’t matter if they flatter me. No more. 2024 is the year I rid myself of this needless obligation.
"An IDF official says one of its soldiers saw the hostages emerging from a building without shirts on, holding a stick with a white cloth on it. The soldier felt threatened and opened fire, declaring that the men were terrorists, the IDF official says."
I don't think this speaks well to how the IDF treats Palestinians trying to surrender.
