Typical BBC article on Palestine - On settlements, "Palestinians say these are illegal under international law and are obstacles to peace, but Israel denies this." It is no Palestinians who say this. The U.N Security Council says this, nearly every major power, the ICJ says this https://twitter.com/BBCWorld/status/1556646930935156741

I talked about this at the @CircleU_eu summer school today. I learned a lot from the students’ comments and experiences!! https://twitter.com/eivinden/status/1551589044827586561

Eivind Engebretsen @eivinden

In health crises, we must:
1) understand & empathize with peoples’ stories;
2) assess these stories based on the values they encode;
3) acknowledge the situated rationalities of these stories, even when they are in conflict with science. @MonaBaker11 https://www.eivindengebretsen.com/post/available-from-september-2022-rethinking-evidence-in-the-time-of-pandemics-cup-2022
