    https://www.newyorker.com/news/q-and-a/the-gaza-ification-of-the-west-bank

    ‘Killing salmon to lose money’: A costly, questionable plan on the Willamette
    https://www.opb.org/article/2023/10/31/willamette-river-salmon-dams-army-corps-fish-collector-vs-drawdowns/
    To free salmon stuck behind dams in Oregon’s Willamette River Valley, here’s what the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has in mind: Build a floating vacuum the size of a football field with enough pumps to suck up a small river. Capture tiny young salmon in the vacuum’s mouth and flush them into massive storage tanks. Then load the fish onto trucks, drive them downstream and dump them back into the water. An enormous fish collector like this costs up to $450 million, and nothing of its scale has ever been tested. The fish collectors are the biggest element of the Army Corps’ $1.9 billion plan to keep the salmon from going extinct. The Corps says its devices will work. A cheaper alternative — halting dam operations so fish can pass — would create widespread harm to hydroelectric customers, boaters and farmers, the agency contends.

    US Should Press Israel on Measures to Save ‘Thousands of Lives’ in Gaza: Internal Memo
    https://www.vice.com/en/article/7kxddx/us-should-press-israel-to-implement-measures-to-save-tens-of-thousands-of-lives-in-gaza-internal-cable
    While the U.S. has largely been unwavering in its public support of Israel, internal communications reveal deepening humanitarian and legal concerns about the crisis in the region. The cable ends with estimates from the UN’s Office for The Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs that there are an estimated 1.4 million internally displaced persons in Gaza, with about 590,000 of those sheltering in 150 overcrowded UN designated shelters. The last point in the cable is headlined: “If this Stays an Additional Week, it will be Non-Reversibly Catastrophic.” The cable ends by stating “A UN OCHA [Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs] contact described the situation as reaching ‘deep into devastation,’ and begged the United States to urgently ‘prioritize’ a humanitarian response.”
