A major US consulting firm, Boston Consulting Group (BCG), was tasked by Israeli backers to model the costs of "relocating" Palestinians from Gaza as part of a project "imagining" post-war Gaza reconstruction.
In one scenario, Palestinians would be provided "voluntary relocation" packages valued at $9,000 per person, or $5 billion total.
The model estimated that 500,000 Palestinians, 1/4 of the strip's population, would leave.

The image depicts a black and white illustration of a museum scene. In the foreground, two robots are standing in front of a glass case containing a human brain. The larger robot, with a humanoid shape and visible joints, is pointing at the brain and speaking, with a speech bubble that reads, "And that is the original processor!" The smaller robot, similar in design but with a more compact form, is looking up at the larger robot. The background shows a grand museum hall with ornate ceilings, walls lined with glass cases containing various exhibits, and a balcony with more displays. The floor is tiled, and the overall atmosphere is one of curiosity and education.

"After severe flooding in non-evacuated areas in Texas has left at least 24 dead with dozens more missing, including several young girls at a summer camp, Texas officials are blaming their failure to act on a faulty forecast by Donald Trump’s new National Weather Service gutted by cuts to their operating budget and most experienced personnel."

Boston Consulting Group (BCG) is facing mounting scrutiny following a Financial Times investigation that revealed the firm’s involvement in a controversial and secretive effort to model the forced “relocation” of Palestinians from Gaza.
The plan, developed in coordination with Israeli and US officials, also included BCG’s participation in a militarized humanitarian "aid initiative" now widely condemned by humanitarian agencies.

in reply to Oberflächenspannung • • •The image features a close-up of a bird's head, showcasing its distinct features. The bird has a predominantly brown head with a lighter, almost white, area around its eye. Its eye is large and round, with a reddish-pink iris and a black pupil, giving it a keen and alert appearance. The bird's beak is large, thick, and dark blue, with a slight curve at the tip, and there is a small white object lodged in the corner of its beak. The background is blurred, with hints of brown and beige, suggesting a natural, earthy environment. The bird's feathers are finely detailed, with a mix of brown and white tones, and the texture is soft and fluffy.
