Bombing a UN school sheltering war refugees. Bombing again the survivors and those rushing to aid. Leaving only a haunting silence. A daily live-streamed extermination, without even bothering anymore to fabricate some military objective for Western journalists to copy-paste.
مشهد مرعب لم يحدث حتى في أعتى الأفلام الأكثر إجرامية ودموية في تاريخ الحروب.
قصفتهم وقتلت عدداً منهم، فجاء الناس لإنقاذهم، والأمهات تبكين على أبنائهن المصابين، فأكملت إسرائيل المهمة وقصفتهم مرة ثانية.
كل ذلك حدث داخل مدرسة تابعة للأونروا تؤوي نازحين في مدينة غزة .

I wrote about the menagerie of twin heritability models and the wide range of estimates they are reporting. Another front in the missing heritability debate that has been simmering since the 1970's and now rekindled by newer data.
