The WHITE, MALE DEAN of my faculty (a PROFESSOR, & I am a very junior scholar) accused me of potentially breaching the university's 'bullying & harassment' policies because I emailed him saying 'shame on you' for staying silent in the middle of a genocide & suspending me instead.
@existentialcoms
They are not 'very complicated', maybe to the uninformed, but it's so easy to educate yourself. There is a settler-colonial occupying power, sponsored by another settler colony, both have nuclear power, and they see Arabs and others who live in the region as lesser than. Simple.

. Many were killed or injured, families who had nowhere else to go after their homes were destroyed.
ISR entraps queer Palestinians & blackmails them into acting as informants. Anti-queer animus is politically produced, not inherent in any one culture. Homophobia exists among (Jewish &non-Jewish) Zionists. Israel indiscriminately bombs queers &non-queers. That's the real outrage
Hereโs the (dead) leader of Hezbollah calling for the murder of LGBT people.
My friends, stop being useful idiots and cheerleading the people that want to slaughter us. Their mission doesnโt stop with Israel.

There is global evidence in public health, sociology, criminology, VAWG and human rights that proves concretely that the Nordic Model causes MORE harm to sex workers, particularly rape and murder.
Listen to sex workers first.

All of you nakba deniers having a meltdown in the comments ... read a fucking book or two by your very own Israeli historians. You Zionists are brainwashed genocidal maniacs with very lazy brains.
More than ever before, Black & brown voices, actions, ways of life, & diverse worldviews are reaching white supremacists (& their non-white compradors). They are triggered, afraid because they know their world is rotten & exclusivist. It's crumbling. We're not afraid.
BRISMES Committee on Academic Freedom is collecting evidence of the use of risk (health & safety, reputational damage, etc.) to silence pro-Palestinian voices & clampdown on pro-Palestine activism (encampments, events, teaching, etc.). Comment or DM if you have evidence to share.
WE HAVE TO GO ON STRIKE. WE MUST FORCE THE FASCISTS TO STOP ARMING ISRAEL. WHERE THE FUCK ARE ALL THE UNIONS, WHY ARE THEY NOT CALLING FOR A GENERAL STRIKE??? WHAT ELSE CAN WE DO???
Officers spotted a man in Whitehall wearing what appeared to be a parachute.
He has been arrested on suspicion of wearing or displaying an article indicating support for a proscribed organisation.
We are witnessing the inevitable result of discourses that situate academia as a "site of struggle" against capitalism, imperialism, and injustice - as someone who is in the academy myself, let me make this abundantly clear:
Academics are NOT, and never have been, at the

Insults are not threats you fucking clown. You need to "tone it down" and stop being a genocide apologist. What a waste of space.
You can threaten and destroy our livelihoods, our lives, reputations, our kin, our lands - which you have been doing for centuries - but you will never break our spirit & you will never be able to put an end to our struggle. This is especially for all the Zionists out there.
Some people don't understand what racism is. Again, it's a relation of power. Brown & Black people can't be racist towards white people. An 'average' brown woman can't be racist towards a fucking brown prime minister who has *a lot more* power+upholds white supremacy. Get a grip.

I wrote about Palestine as an Arab issue, Arab political subjectivity in the aftermath of the Arab Spring, counterrevolution and reverberations of political defeat since 1967 in an attempt to answer the question โwhere are the Arabs?โ
Pundits like to position zionism as an exclusive right-wing movement because it obfuscates the way the larger liberal ecosystem is deeply embedded into the colonial project. Zionism has always relied on liberalism. As such, any anti-zionist praxis must confront liberal thought.
@SanaSaeed
They are cowards who think electoral politics is the end all. Instead of organising and direct action towards an alternative future that doesn't force them between 'bad and worse', they are spending their time advocating for a genocide candidate. Disgusting.
@Mr_Andrew_Fox
Jews are a race? My grandma's family were Jewish, but they converted to Islam. What's my 'race'? Also, race is a colonial construct, you supremacist clown.
'Fighting Hezbollah [...] poses even greater challenges. [...] the impact of a full-scale Hezbollah assault on the grid including the likelihood of long periods of blackouts and the danger to water supplies'
That video of the psychopaths shooting the horse ... I can't share it and I can't stop watching it along with all the other footage of the slaughter of men, women, and children. My body can no longer contain the grief and the anger.
Universities have a duty towards their students (esp racialised international students who might be new to the country & not familiar with the pogroms & wider context) to clearly communicate what's been happening (explicitly mention racism & Islamophobia). Anything less is a joke

. None of my colleagues checked in on me the past 11 months. Ukr colleague: 'How are u?' I go: 'crap, there is a genocide, I've been arrested, none of u have checked on me'. He responds: 'there is a genocide happening in my country too'!! Bye academia, u don't deserve me
Astonishing that people, incl. Black & PoC, don't understand what racism is. Bigots keep calling unis 'woke' bcz we teach 'critical race theory'. We've clearly failed! Again, racism is a relation of power. There is a difference btw prejudice & racism. Marieha expressed neither.
As fate would have it, this silly argument is - near-verbatim - the one that the CPS completely embarrassed themselves by putting forward at the

Israel has confirmed several airforce bases were hit by Iran while civilian damage was "only minor" & caused by shrapnel from interception missiles.
But Keir Starmer said: "The Iranian regime has launched over 200 ballistic missiles at civilian targets in Israel."
A grave lie.
We are reading & watching evidence of an accelerated ethnic cleansing campaign in North Gaza where people are trapped without food & water, shot at if they dare move, & can't access medical or other care. All we can do is frantically retweet! Everything & everyone are useless.

Hasbarists are going to tell us that Hamas hid ammunition near the hospital, while Israel was *just* executing a precision strike. As if Israel hasn't been burning people alive for a year.
