Yes, there are calls in Israel to re-occupy and settle in Gaza but those are in the fringes of the fringe. A demonstration in support of that failed to bring anyone but the organizers out. The right-wing radical elements in Israeli society are much louder than impactful.
Well, in better news - I went to this right wing protest in favour of re-settling the Gaza strip, to see what was being said.
…no one showed up, except for the organisers.

Since the NYT version isn’t clear, the reason she is disfigured is that she blew up her car bomb early because she was confronted by an Israeli police officer (Moshe Chen, who was injured in the explosion and still has not fully recovered) before she could reach her target.

This. Absolutely this. Israel does the best it can to minimize civilian casualties (in an environment designed by Hamas to maximize them) not because *you* tell us to, not because it's important to *you*, but because it's important to Israeli people.
"Friendly nations" constantly telling Israel to follow international law is as insulting as reminding your friend every time you see them to make sure they take regular showers.

I so badly hope that the international community springs into action and extends as much help as it can instead of there being a point bullet in some slide deck years from now reading "in hindsight, stockpiling was neither justified nor optimal"
I’m seeing a massive disconnect (more so than usual) between the two twitter worlds I usually inhabit — the US and India. It is important to bridge the two now for a very important reason:

Because as we clearly write in the paper, even though Challender et al. say we do not, listing under CITES is not a sufficient condition for a positive conservation outcome. 10/

It amazes me this isn't obvious and actually needs to be said.
Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu answering the clueless idiot Blnken: "Until it is clear that Hamas does not control Gaza militarily, no party will be willing to take over the civilian administration of Gaza out of fear for its safety. Therefore, the talk about 'the day after' when

I think this is a real challenge. In many ways, I see the academic literature on biodiversity losses where the climate change literature was 10-20 years ago. Scientists were ringing all the alarm bells, but it was difficult to map climate change to well-measured effects. (12/17)

Emotions are running high, but please do take the time to read this before making public statements.

It appears that the irony got lost on the Challender et al. team that when writing about incorrect interpretation of data and research, they incorrectly interpreted our analysis and policy recommendations. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Extremely painful how accurate this is. This is why it is so important that Gantz and Eizenkot effectively formed a separate war cabinet with Netanyahu and Gallant. It would have been even better if they had listened to Lapid and kicked out the most extremists out of the gov.
I keep getting asked about the “strategy of the Israeli government” and about a statement by an Israeli minister or a paper prepared by an Israeli ministry. Non-Israelis just can’t understand that Israel for the past 10 months simply hasn’t had a government, let alone a strategy>

Looking to design policies to address biodiversity losses? You need to first make sense of how to quantify biodiversity, measuring species. But surprise: "biologists have never reached agreement over what constitutes a species" 1/8
