I need everyone, esp in academia, to watch this clip and understand what @mayaywind is saying when she says that Israeli universities are deeply complicit in the Gaza genocide. Hebrew Uni is helping define targets. Tel Aviv Uni is developing arguments against human rights.

i prefer an older sitcom where the jokes “don’t hold up anymore” than a new sitcom that relies too heavily on showing how progressive it is by making actors self stereotype themselves (one day at a time)
Our worry with you becoming the latest crusader against sexual assault is that it is coming from someone who can’t or won’t recognize oppression when it’s staring him in the face (Israel-Palestine) and seems comfortable with genocide.
That’s seriously messed up.
Indian women of all castes, religions, educational status and geographies know what it means to stand up to power. Most haven’t read a single feminist text in their lives. They still know how power operates against them.
It was this set of assessments that I made that made me write the initial tweets in this thread. I wanted to let him know there is empathy for the secondary victimization he underwent in India, but that he is missing the forest for the trees.
My first thought was how do you write a piece on colonizing a place that’s already colonized and still be taken seriously. My second thought was why is he introducing culture as a residual category to explain alleged behavior by Gazans. That’s not only essentialist, it’s lazy
The ghastly image of the Palestinian child that Israhell starved to death in the same timeline with Nita Ambani wearing that 5000 crore worth bar of neem soap looking toy around her neck on my TL. This world is such an obscene place
I'm never getting off my Dune shit because it's a movie about an Arab world without Arabs and it premiering to worldwide fanfare while a country carries out a genocide to try to create an Arab country with no Arabs
