If you're, like me, tired of the new wave of Fanon's "experts and scholars" who go into some "intellectual" acrobaties to twist what Fanon said and to neutralise his radical vision of revolutionary violence and decolonisation, do read this:

War on Gaza: How critics are twisting Frantz Fanon's legacy

No amount of verbal gymnastics can escape the simple truth that indigenous resistance is crucial to ending colonial atrocities

Brilliant piece by my colleague #JosephineValeske "Eighty-five years after the November pogrom, Germany should have learned that a genocide cannot be atoned for by enabling another genocide."

Germany cannot atone for the Holocaust by enabling the Gaza genocide

It is becoming increasingly clear that as the German government targets migrants and cracks down on pro-Palestine protests, some lives are more valuable than others

10 years after the “ #ArabSpring ”, the narrative advanced is one of hopelessness: the uprising was not worthwhile, better to have remained in chains. Why is this conception wrong? Why do we need to look at the revolutions through a socio-economic lens? 👉

During the Yom Kippur War in 1973, Arab oil producers cut off exports to Israel’s allies. But faced with today’s Israeli war on Gaza, Gulf states dismiss the idea of using the “oil weapon” — an index of how much they have abandoned the Palestinian cause.

An excellent article on the Moroccan energy sector by Jawad Moustakbal that debunks a lot of the myths around Morocco's much-celebrated energy transition. A must read really! #justtransition #Morocco

A must read really! Israeli colonialism has many facets and it is strengthened and greenwashed by what @shqair_manal calls eco-normalisation deals with some other states including in the Arab region. Read and share.

Israel has been stealing water and other resources from its neighbouring countries, just to sell them back to them at a profit. @shqair_manal shatters Israel’s green image and shows why the climate movement must resist the greenwashing of colonialism.

33 years ago on August 6 the UN, under US leadership, imposed comprehensive sanctions on Iraq. The sanctions dismantled Iraq’s economy and led to the deaths of millions of people - as @Doa_Ali puts it: They killed an entire country.👇🧵

Why are we looking at an Israeli jet and the moon? How is a romanticised depiction of a machine sent to kill refugees okay? I honestly despair.

A must read: really good stuff here by Joseph Masad including some paralels with Algeria (Phillipeville/Skikda is my home town by the way!):

In the West, Israel never initiates violence, it only 'retaliates'

In the western narrative, it is the Palestinians who initiated violence by daring to resist racist and colonial Zionist violence, which is why their resistance can never be called 'retaliation'
