Anyone who cites papers without reading them on the basis that you "need a lot of citations to look credible": please stop. It makes you and your whole field (economics, in this case) lose credibility. If you have a good reason to cite an unread work, try adding "(Not consulted.)" to the reference.

Today is Nakba Day, when we commemorate the roughly 750,000 Palestinians who were forcibly displaced by Zionist militias during the 1948 Palestine War. Acknowledging the Nakba and making restitution is the precursor to building a better future for everyone living in the region.

It’s Free Palestine today, Free Palestine tomorrow, and Free Palestine every day. 🇵🇸 ❤️

All Private Schools do is teach 7% of the population how to completely dominate the other 93%. That's it.

Today is Nakba Day. The ethnic cleansing of Palestine began 78 years ago today and it has never stopped.

You will not label me anti-Semitic for calling out genocide and standing with the people of Palestine and Lebanon how dare YOU.🇵🇸🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Today’s Nakba Day. On the day 750,000 Palestinians were ethnically cleansed by terrorists and the Israeli forces. Free Palestine.
