Staff members at the US National Science Foundation (#NSF) were told on 30 April to “stop awarding all funding actions until further notice,” according to an email seen by Nature.
The policy prevents the NSF, one of the world’s biggest supporters of basic research, from awarding new research grants and from supplying allotted funds for existing grants.

@maymage @tbernard in Italy the law is one thing and the practice is another thing. This is also valid in Europe, where you have anti-trust laws in teory and in practice you cannot sustain the tests for the recruitment in the european public function if you have a Linux laptop, because the software chosen by EC for remote proctoring doesn't work on Linux. A class action is more than welcome, but @fsfe is more active on the advocacy projects and less on legal battles.

Storia di una escalation:

Netanyahu non bombarda ospedali, l'ospedale se lo sono bombardato da soli per errore.

Netanyahu ha bombardato un ospedale ma era una base di Hamas.

Netanyahu ha bombardato tutti gli ospedali di Gaza nord, ma è legittima difesa.

Netanyahu ha bombardato tutti gli ospedali di Gaza nord uccidendo civili ma comunque il rapporto tra vittime civili e combattenti é uno dei più bassi nella storia militare.

Netanyahu ha fatto migliaia di morti innocenti ma tu sei antisemita.

Max Kresh, a reserve fighter, declared his opposition to participating in crimes against humanity like "flattening Gaza." The result was severe social ostracism: "They kicked me out of my team. They made it clear they didn't want me." He returned from reserve duty feeling "mentally crushed."

#Amnesty International investigation concludes #Israel is committing #genocide against Palestinians in #Gaza 

The report, ‘You Feel Like You Are Subhuman’: Israel’s Genocide Against Palestinians in Gaza, documents how, during its military offensive launched in the wake of the deadly Hamas-led attacks in southern Israel on 7 October 2023, Israel has unleashed hell and destruction on Palestinians in Gaza brazenly, continuously and with total impunity.

130 soldiers have published an open letter and are threatening to refuse to serve unless a hostage release deal is signed immediately, and in effect, a ceasefire deal that could put a stop to Israel’s assault. Many of the signatories have already declared their refusal.

Il nucleare è talmente conveniente, economico e redditizio che l’unico modo per farlo è trovare un governo amico che ti fa un prestito da cinquanta miliardi a tasso zero, rischiando una procedura di infrazione europea per aiuti di stato illegali che ostacolano e distorcono il libero mercato dell’energia.

@rysiek @ciaranmak as a pacifist believing in UN charter as a peaceful mean to settle conflicts between countries my position is the same of international and humanitarian law:

Terrorism is always a crime

Invading a country is always a crime

Bombing civilians is always a war crime

The solution:

1) Stop killing (ceasefire)

2) Find a political way to settle the armed conflict

@rysiek that one was not an answer, looks like a nice attempt of dodging a reasoning flaw. BTW, I answered to your "answer". 😉

@rysiek @ciaranmak the only reason to separate the issues is to apply a double standard that gives a different values to the lives of palestinian people and ukrainian people. International and humanitarian law is the same everywhere. Universal Human rights are the same for everyone. If you think that ukrainian case can be solved by providing billions of warfare to the invaded country this should apply also to the palestinian case if you want to keep coherence to your reasoning.

@rysiek so what would you suggest to Palestine according to this logic?

The Belgian prosecutor said Friday it has launched an investigation into possible war crimes committed by a Belgian soldier fighting for Israel in Gaza.
The federal prosecutor office said that the probe focuses on Belgian member of an elite unit of the Israeli military. According to multiple media reports, the man is a dual Belgian-Israeli citizen in his 20s from the Brussels municipality of Uccle who serves the Israeli army in the “Refaim” sniper unit.

“The loss of science on #Twitter is a contemporary mass extinction event”, says Professor Edward #Holmes, who recently was awarded the prestigious Croonian Medal by the Royal Society. He has also deleted his Twitter account recently. “Twitter used to be THE place where you shared ideas, data, preprints and papers. Now it’s a post-Apocalyptic hell hole.” #scicomm
