Always wanted the TL;DR on my 📖book but were afraid to ask? Fret not! Now you can read about it 👇🏻 in @jadaliyya’s #NewTextsOutNow and find out what else I’m cooking up atm

[Jadaliyya @jadaliyya]

The book explains how urban planning regimes, built forms, & lived experiences of socio-economic inequality produce institutional actors (state), classed places (space), & precarious people (society).

[Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention @LemkinInstitute]

The @LemkinInstitute reminds the world that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu @IsraeliPM is a genocidaire.

Israel is a genocidal state supported by a genocidal society.

This means that the genocidal killing of Palestinian and now Lebanese people will continue to spread. It will not stop on its own.

The world has a responsibility to protect life, including Arab life. Walking out of Netanyahu’s speech at the @UN is not enough. There must be action.

The USA @POTUS is particularly to blame for this horrific state of affairs. It must act immediately and effectively to stop Israel. And it must stop with the pretense. The world knows exactly what is going on.

What a world that this needs to be stated by a court and not our conscience….

[Cristiana Strava @CStrava]

Janet Abu Lughod was called provocative for labelling 🇫🇷colonial planning in🇲🇦 Urban Apartheid. To pretend the genealogy of besieged Gaza does not stretch back to the Venice Ghetto, whence it was exported to settler colonial projects across the new world, is pure white ignorance

[Allegra Lab @allegra_lab]

TODAY is #StrikeForGaza & we continue to amplify the voices that are silenced by the increasingly right-leaning structures of power that govern public spaces and our universities in the Global North. Follow our thematic thread #FramingGaza.

Urbicide in #Gaza ,the systematic murder of the city, does not halt at human beings, animals, plants, buildings and vital infrastructures. It contaminates the city's underground, flooding it with sea water. And devours its archives and memories. The declared goal is annihilation.

[Jason Hickel @jasonhickel]

The capitalist world economy has never been epitomised by skyscrapers in Manhattan or London, but by coltan mines in the DRC and bombed-out refugee camps in Gaza—places where people are exploited and dispossessed in order to maintain regimes of accumulation and imperial hegemony.

My students get impatient when I insist that language matters. That words have the power to build or tear down worlds, to illuminate truths or distort meanings. To render some lives & bodies as worthy of compassion and others as mere demographics.

[MESA @MESA_1966]

MESA calls upon @POTUS and the US government to demand an immediate and permanent ceasefire in Gaza, the immediate and unconditional lifting of the siege on the Gaza Strip, and the prevention of human rights abuses in the West Bank and East Jerusalem.
