Could you please share a link supporting your claim that doesn’t come from a zionist propaganda machine?

It could be true that she broke the law.

Breaking the law on this topic is not hard in France, since unfortunately it is part of the (post)colonial countries that equate anti-zionism with antisemitism.

So criticizing the settler colonial state of Israel can mean you break the law, without taking into consideration that Zionism is a political movement that has been criticized by Jews since its inception. Jewish voice for Peace have a great article about it: Our Approach to Zionism. And they are not the only ones.

Or supporting that Palestinians have human rights like any other person on this planet - like to be against Israel’s apartheid for example - is considered terrorism, more often than not.

Please, let’s not be so quick to defend France or any colonial country

Edit: A relavant article. It’s in relation to the Lellouche law, from Haaretz - BDS a Hate Crime? In France, Legal Vigilance Punishes anti-Israel Activists

I would like to add that boycott can be very effective in applying pressure. So much so that the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions movement

BDS is a Palestinian-led movement for freedom, justice and equality. BDS upholds the simple principle that Palestinians are entitled to the same rights as the rest of humanity

is illegal in several places. Most of states in the US, Canada, France, Germany, UK are some of them - the traditional colonialists.

Ban Apartheid Israel from Sports

Palestinian players and athletes are routinely attacked, imprisoned and killed. Athletes are denied freedom of movement to attend their own matches, competitions and trainings. Palestinian stadiums and sports infrastructures have been bombed and destroyed. Israel even prevents sports equipment from being imported and sports facilities from being developed.

Racism against Palestinians is institutionalized in Israeli sports – from segregated youth football leagues to anti-Palestinian hate from fan clubs that goes routinely unpunished.

In addition, Israeli football and basketball clubs based in illegal settlements are allowed to compete in official Israeli leagues, making international governing bodies FIFA and FIBA complicit in Israel’s violations of international law.

Despite all this, Western dominated sports bodies have looked the other way, refusing to take action. More than 300 Palestinian sports clubs and dozens of civil society organizations are calling to #BanIsrael from the Olympics. Join us as we seek to ban Israel from international sports forums, including the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and FIFA, until it ends its grave crimes against Palestinians and its attacks on Palestinian sports.

This NYT article unfortunately fails to mention the thousands of oil lobbyists attending COP29.

COP29: What you need to know about the global climate summit - Amnesty International:

Like previous climate summits, COP29 will host many participants whose agendas are seriously at odds with climate justice. Thousands of fossil fuel lobbyists, along with the heads of oil giants like Shell and BP, are expected to be in attendance. These participants have used previous summits to advance their own interests, opposing essential efforts to phase out fossil fuels and pushing for false solutions like carbon offsetting. Amnesty International is calling for a robust conflict of interest policy to prevent fossil fuel lobbyists undermining the aims of global climate treaties.

Canada’s mining tradition is closely related to colonialism.

Check out the Canadian encyclopedia, Mining :

Pre-contact Aboriginal use and trade of Canada’s rich mineral resources included copper, gold, silver and chert. European exploration and colonization of northern North America was partially motivated by the search for valuable minerals. In 1577–8, Martin Frobisher established a mining operation at Baffin Island (…)

Edit: Just found a super long list of Canadian Mining Assets (CMAs), from all over the world excluding Canada, by Country and Region. This list is from 2021 and 2022 by the Canadian government. They’re everywhere like, scary stuff.

I suppose a more accurate title would be:

“IDF unsuccessfully tries to distance itself from ‘no return’ remarks about north Gaza evacuees”

You’re totally right, legality should not be a concern in cases like that.

What I liked in this article is that it gives examples of actions on several levels, and I think this is important because a tone of things need to be done to effectively fight fascism in societies.

The materials are totally new.

That’s a great question and I’ll do my best to answer it.

There are a few ways of using mycelium for constructions. Making a brick from mycelium is quite easy to do, even at home. These mycelium bricks at the end of the process they are heated to the point there is no living organism left in them. So I suppose for this process the answer is pretty straight forward.

I really don’t know what BIG will present but from what I see in the photo in this article reminded me of the Growing Pavilion. And since 3D printed mycelium is mentioned (see an example here), I tend to assume that it would be a living product. So for this process and in relation to your question about air quality, I could imagine that even tho molds and mushrooms are both in the fungi kingdom, they don’t affect humans the same way, but I can’t say I’m sure.

Edit: Just found these 7 videos in a playlist, and I wouldn’t be surprised if the answer is there:

Mycology for Architecture

I see things differently. Briefly, the risk of Trump becoming president (again!) is not a matter of fate. Fascism is a (by)product of systemic oppression from capitalism.

Nowadays, the decades of policies of the specific branch of capitalism called neoliberalism forced upon regular people, have paved the way for fascism to get a hold on societies all over the world. So desperate folks, looking for solutions in their everyday life, fall into the trap of the far-right narrative of blaming other regular people instead of those in power creating their actual problems.

It’s not a matter of being smart or dumb. People are hurt. This is why they find appealing fascist and conspiracy narratives, because they provide a mythology that explains their pain. These narratives don’t need to be logical, they just need to point out an enemy. Othering people can be a perfect distraction to sooth emotions. Let’s not do the same. Let’s keep the discourse alive.

Nothing’s going to change.

Not so sure about that. I think change is a constant.

Systemic changes occur despite the narratives we are fed by predominant power systems (that they are super strong and have “logical” linear continuity from prehistoric/ancient times, through god or whatever along those lines).

Look at what happened to the notion of kings around the world. Sure, some are still around but the power they have is not comparable to what their grandparent had, if any.

Or what happened to the soviet block. To my knowledge - nobody expected it to collapse when it did, not even the secret intelligence services of opposing capitalist countries.

So no matter what the future holds, I’d say let’s dare and imagine inclusive, egalitarian, ecological solutions against the predominant narrative of structural despair.

That part was hard for me too.

The problem is not that they are not actively working on solving this Zionist war, the Israeli apartheid or its settler colonialism.

The problem is that they don’t have a decent position on the topic, so they are trying to discard it all together.

For those focused on the Israel-Gaza war, she has tried to emphasize the stakes of the climate crisis. “I mean, don’t you want to pass down a better world to the next generation?”

So for those focused on the Israel-Gaza war, she tried to change the topic. Terrible approach.

A better world to the next generation? While Zionists have been destroying the world of their neighbors with bombardments for over a year and keep doing so with no end in sight? While Zionists are actively participating in an effort to eliminate the next generation of Palestinians? So the actual suggestion is to disregard these facts, for a better world for everyone, except Palestinians.

Enough for sure, but not for the reasons mentioned in this article.

I need evidence

Maybe The dawn of everything: A new history of humanity by David Graeber and David Wengrow could be a nice start?

Check out this video and/or download here

Coincidentally, I’m also queer, an immigrant most of my life (since childhood actually and in several places), and I am most probably neurodivergent, but never had the money to check this out officially.

I think understand what you say. Still, the way I see things if we do a statement/analysis mentioning humans I believe we are condemned to arrive to the wrong conclusions if we only take into account the dominant civilization/culture. Or see things through its narrative.

I’m not saying to discard its importance. I’m just saying it’s equally important to take into consideration broader inputs through time and space, to try to have a clearer picture.

Something like that.

No, I don’t agree with this at all. It tells us something about capitalism. It tells us something about how the U.S. are nowadays. Nothing more, nothing less.

We can do both!
