“People like David Seymour like to frame what we’re doing as selecting medical students based on race. No, that’s actually the issue we’re trying to correct — historically our admissions processes have selected an overwhelmingly Pākehā student cohort.” — Professor Papaarangi Reid.

In Wales there is a legal requirement for road signs to be in both English and Welsh. In this case, the official of the Highways department emailed the English wording to the translator and, after receiving a reply, proceeded to have the sign made and installed. A few weeks later, Welsh-speaking drivers began to call up to point out that the Welsh reads, "I am currently out of the office. Please submit any work to the translation team."

A tweet from Ori Goldberg who has been consistently critical of the Palestinian Genocide.
The reports from Gaza indicate that the final point of no return has been crossed. A broad consensus of scholars predicted that mass hunger will began to exact its deathly toll just about now. It is. All was known. Nothing surprised anyone.

There is no need to refer to the Gaza Holocaust. Every genocide is unique. Israel's genocide of the Palestinian people is unprecedented in its lack of secrecy, in its length, in the overt dismissal of Palestinian humanity on Israel's part. The egregiousness of all these is such that there can be no quarter for the leaders, the executors and the
enablers. This, ultimately, is what negates the need for official "orders". Israel is putting its heart into the liquidation of the Palestinians. How much more intent can there be?
