. @KingsCollegeLon is fully aware of the fact that Israel killed two of my family members and abducted my father in addition to killing former KCL students and affiliates. But this did not prompt any shift in policy or any meaningful change in public expressions of concern.

Difficult to be part of an institution that still refers to Israel’s genocide in Gaza as a “humanitarian crisis in Gaza and Israel.” KCL has Palestinian staff, myself included, and still chooses to show us everyday that atrocities against us literally do not warrant concern.

. @KingsCollegeLon has taken issue with students who disrupted our Open Day demanding the College to take a stance in the face of Israel's war on #Gaza . They are vilifying instead of listening to our students and distort facts. Below my letter in response to senior management.

Yes. And just before I was denied boarding my flight, @easyJet sent a plane full of Israelis to Tel Aviv without a problem. In my case, “recent events” came up to explain said “change of rules”.

BREAKING NEWS. My Palestinian colleague Rana Baker has been prevented from boarding an @easyJet flight on grounds that 'rules have changed'. Rules have not changed, @easyJet is steeped in #racism and #Islamophobia . You single out #Palestinians at a time of #genocide . SHAME ON YOU

@KingsCollegeLon has instead chosen to engage in public incitement against our students who have been camping out and making lawful demands for months. Escalation is tactic of protest. The only people at risk are these students who mostly come from marginalised backgrounds.

@KingsCollegeLon Public incitement against marginalised and Muslim students puts them at risk in an atmosphere that is already hostile to them. I cannot believe KCL can be so oblivious to all of this.

EasyJet apologised — after I threatened legal action and thanks to pressure from you and MEE (thank you!). What matters is that they do not do this to another Palestinian again, now that there’s public record of the incident and an official acknowledgement of malpractice.

I still have not received an acknowledgment from @easyJet that I was wrongly denied boarding my Cairo-bound flight. I was so far told that staff were “only following the information provided.” I cannot believe they would not admit that they made a mistake and apologise.

Deeply concerning about this statement is how easily it establishes a link between student protesters many of whom are Muslim and “aggressive” behaviour which then okays police presence. This kind of language is thoughtless, dangerous, and should never be normalised.

I just wonder why “recent events” did not affect the boarding of all those Israelis going to stolen land.

Today’s massacre in Khan Younis (plus the many that have already been perpetrated) begs the question as to what the author(s) of this statement had in mind when they decided to speak of a “humanitarian crisis in Gaza and Israel.” Nothing could be more insulting and insensitive.

KCL needs to express outright condemnation of Israel and to cut ties with this genocidal state which is nothing but a monsterous abomination. There is no “Gaza and Israel”. No moral equivalence. There ie only Israel committing a genocide in Gaza.

This statement further shows that KCL is in fact not impartial as it claims. To succumb so easily to implicit anti-Muslim bias is far from being impartial.

I sent them a photo of the visa I received in Cairo upon arrival as proof, but nothing that approaches an apology for their racist behaviour and invocation of “recent events” has been forthcoming. I also just learned that they did the same thing to another Palestinian from Gaza.

@KingsCollegeLon has terminated all negotiations with the encampment and given us an eviction notice. This is when we have come very close to achieving our demands after several rounds of meetings. All during an ongoing genocide. Deeply unfortunate. Shameful even.

If the intention behind this statement is “impartiality” then nothing could be less impartial. Being impartial means acknowledging the facts of the situation i.e. Israel is committing a genocide, not falsely pretending that Israel is experiencing a “crisis” of equal proportion.

Being impartial also means taking actions that are proportionate to the facts of the situation such as cutting ties with Israel and unequivocally condemning this murderous settler-colonial state.

Except that none of his goals in Gaza have been achieved and Gaza continues to undermine the settler-colonial objectives of the genocidal terrorist state he leads, 7 months on. This maniac’s biggest achievement is genocide.
