Thank you for your message! As I'm not based in a low or middle income country, the only realistic readily available option for us in Europe is A&A. And the reverse is true for UK astronomers (MNRAS but not A&A). This model of localisation is IMO detrimental to science in the long term

But because it encapsulates something unique about the Palestinian struggle: how they refuse to die as a nation. How they continue to gasp for air and try to come back from the brink.

Or the Arab spring uprising in 2011 that started in Tunisia and spread across the Arabic world. I've never seen any of these referred to as Intifada. In political discourse it's only used to refer to the Palestinian Intifada. Not because it particularly signifies violence

Historically, it's almost never used to refer to any of the 20th century Arab uprisings against British of French occupations (and there's been many). One speaks of Zaghloul's uprising against the British in Egypt (1919), or the Million Martyrs revolution against the French in Algeria

Linguistically, it's a word one would use when someone is brought back to life after using a defibrillator for example. Or as someone wakes up from a really bad nightmare. It signifies a sense of coming back from the brink

I might be wrong but this seems to be BBC policy as well. Palestinian is allowed but no Palestine

"Do you condemn the Intifada?" No but I condemn Shorbet el Kaware in the strongest terms

Netanyahu: “We’re destroying more and more homes — they have nowhere to return to. The only natural outcome will be that Gazans will want to emigrate out of the Strip. Our main problem is with receiving countries.”

NewAthena also likely impacted? This is mostly ESA but I think NASA was an important contributor

ESA folks finding zeroes for ExoMars, EnVision, Euclid, LISA, Ariel contributions, and so many more in those documents... the damage to international partnerships and trust would be incalculable if this budget proposal comes to pass...

Did the NYT disparage Israel supporters or the perpetrator’s faith or identity for any of these hate crimes against people “connected” to Palestine?
