The Guantánamo (yes it's still open) prisoner population is now 27; 3 were transferred out in the last few days. Of those remaining, 15 were cleared for release many years ago, 4 "forever prisoners" have never been tried, 2 are serving sentences, and 6 are on trial. www.nytimes.com/2024/12/18/u...

The prisoners were airlifted from Guantánamo Bay in a secret operation nearly a year after they admitted to serving as foot soldiers for the accused Indonesian terrorist leader Hambali.

I have found Israeli historian Lee Mordechai’s efforts painstakingly documenting and analyzing the horrors that Israel has inflicted on Gaza over the past 14 months to be essential reading. This week he issued an updated version and it’s available here: witnessing-the-gaza-war.com/wp-content/u...

Very exciting to have Eyal Press (@epress.bsky.social) posting here. His book Dirty Work shaped how I think about essential work in society and the position of people doing morally compromised jobs.

Hi 🦋! It’s good to be here, belatedly. I’m a psychologist & writer. My recent book “DOING HARM” examines the American Psychological Association's failure to adequately oppose the abuse & torture of US “war on terror” prisoners. Will APA respond differently in the future? That's an open question.

With the ICC's arrest warrant this week, recalling these contrasting reactions to this alleged perpetrator.. FIRST: UN delegates walk out on Netanyahu (9/272024) SECOND: Standing ovation from US Congress for Netanyahu (7/24/2024) Could it be any clearer where the complicity lies?

Back in August, the APA's governing body finally approved a resolution calling for a ceasefire in Gaza. Since that vote, however, APA execs have opted for silence—as the genocide continues to unfold. I wrote this piece last month—but they seemingly still don't care. mondoweiss.net/2024/10/the-...
