i just finished secrets of the octopus. very interesting. we humans have seriously missed a lot in our intelligence of the beyond-human world around us while we have ignorantly and drastically diminished it. anyway without segue i read caitlin johnstone—Israel apologists conflate all Jews with the actions of the state of Israel. They will deny that they do this, but they indisputably do. That is the message they are circulating when they accuse anyone who criticizes Israel’s actions of hating all Jews. They create antisemitism. we severely diminish other humans too.
