Listen, all you Anglophone leftists who think about the world in post-colonial terms:
Palestinians are not "indigenous". There are no indigenous people in the Jordan valley, the regionhas been colonised again and again by one empire after another for thousands of years, dating back to the late Stone Age. Jews and Palestinians are close cousins, you can see in their genetic markers that today's Jews aren't very different from other inhabitants of that region.

Now when the Romans colonised the region, the Jews were quite renitent and seemed impossible to keep under control, so they eventually destroyed the temple and drove the Jews out of their land, forcing them to live elsewhere. For other ethnic groups, such measure would amount to cultural genocide, leading to their disappearance over a few generations, but not so for the Jews because of their religion. Judaism evolved to keep the culture and the people alive in the diaspora. (2/x)

@mina @shanesemler Some of the first kingdoms of the late Stone Age emerged in the Jordan valley, some of the first state wars between professional armies (as opposed to tribal wars between traditional warriors) happened there. Archaeologists have found stockpiles of spearheads, arrowheads, and slingshot bullets made from stone, in the region. I think it's just the geography--a river valley near the coast in a very arid region, of course everybody wants to rule it.

Sea ice extent in the Bering Sea remains close to 1991-2020 median in NSIDC data. Large areas of open water north of the ice edge are normal this time of year. The lack of any significant areas of lower concentration ice in the southern Chukchi Sea is unusual for this point in the Spring.

@verdantsquare There is no value the empire and its client states would not sacrifice to supports its settler colonial project's genocide against indigenous people. From 1700s to 2020s, same as ever.

@NunavutBirder That's great. When I was younger I used to collect stamps, so now I would love to see a picture of this one. Do you have a pic or a link?

Complementary and Disparate: Conceptualising Female and Male Genital Cutting in Northern Tanzania

Mary-Anne Victoria Decatur, PhD dissertation, U of London 2023.

Yes, I do read your dissertations!

"It is the normal, functioning cells of all foreskins that are deemed dangerous. And yet it is specifically Black male bodies that are being constructed as promiscuous sources of infection in need of medical intervention."

"Does the concept of “genital integrity”, which is one of the most potent reasons put forward for opposition to female genital mutilation, apply also to men’s genitals, even if there would be public health benefit from removing men’s foreskins en masse?’. Rather than engage with this ethical question, the consultation’s report advised policy makers and programme developers to emphasise ‘that male circumcision is very different from female genital mutilation’."

@ttpphd@mastodon.social avatar

"Integral to this appears to be the assumption that if medicalised, (male) genital cutting will be consensual and safe."

Doctors have conflated medicalization with consent and safety. Just because you are using sterile instruments does not mean that your surgery is consensual nor does it guarantee that the patient is safe from iatrogenic harm.

Business groups are warning Minister that increasing ’s inclusion rate will have “significant knock-on impacts” if implemented with possible “irreversible repercussions.”

Six of the country’s largest industry organizations wrote in an open letter to Freeland Thursday that the proposed hike will impede economic growth and come at the expense of future generations.
