"I’m personally a Holocaust survivor as an infant, I barely survived. My grandparents were killed in Aushwitz and most of my extended family were killed. I became a Zionist; this dream of the Jewish people resurrected in their historical homeland and the barbed wire of Aushwitz being replaced by the boundaries of a Jewish state with a powerful army…and then I found out that it wasn’t exactly like that, that in order to make this Jewish dream a reality we had to visit a nightmare on the local population.

There’s no way you could have ever created a Jewish state without oppressing and expelling the local population. Jewish Israeli historians have shown without a doubt that the expulsion of Palestinians was persistent, pervasive, cruel, murderous and with deliberate intent - that’s what’s called the 'Nakba' in Arabic; the 'disaster' or the 'catastrophe'. There’s a law that you cannot deny the Holocaust, but in Israel you’re not allowed to mention the Nakba, even though it’s at the very basis of the foundation of Israel.

I visited the Occupied Territories (West Bank) during the first intifada. I cried every day for two weeks at what I saw; the brutality of the occupation, the petty harassment, the murderousness of it, the cutting down of Palestinian olive groves, the denial of water rights, the humiliations...and this went on, and now it’s much worse than it was then.

It’s the longest ethnic cleansing operation in the 20th and 21st century. I could land in Tel Aviv tomorrow and demand citizenship but my Palestinian friend in Vancouver, who was born in Jerusalem, can’t even visit!

So then you have these miserable people packed into this, horrible…people call it an 'outdoor prison', which is what it is. You don’t have to support Hamas policies to stand up for Palestinian rights, that’s a complete falsity. You think the worse thing you can say about Hamas, multiply it by a thousand times, and it still will not meet the Israeli repression and killing and dispossession of Palestinians.

And 'anybody who criticises Israel is an anti-Semite' is simply an egregious attempt to intimidate good non-Jews who are willing to stand up for what is true."

RT: I’m developing a new MA Modern Slavery, Human Trafficking & Exploitation at Keele. The aim is simple - to create an interdisciplinary programme that takes impact as a starting point. What do you think should be included to ensure graduates can contribute to positive change?

The hatred towards Meghan Markle from some commentators in the British media is an absolute disgrace. What could it be about a young, intelligent woman of colour who uses her voice that upsets them so much?

NO Jeremy Clarkson. Not on any level, in any circumstance, is it ok to write this stuff about any woman & absolutely NO to "everyone who's my age thinks the same"
No no no. We absolutely do NOT think the same.
Listen to the noise Jeremy. The crowds are chanting "shame on YOU"

144 deaths, 116 of which were children. Today marks 55 years since Tip Number 7 descended on the village of Aberfan. Today we remember those who were lost, and those who still grieve 🤍

Just finished an @HDRUKLearning course on Phenomics in healthcare. Great introduction to the topic, really driving home the message of involvement of patients throughout the science - evidence - care cycle! #PPIE #DataScience #HealthData

See this discussion today on how stereotypes and cultures within engineering impact on the mental health of students. I've long wondered whether the punishing study schedule we normalise ends up harming rather than building resilience. @InesDireito @Wintla @joeybtait

Every single one of the students has been working with industry! It's amazing how far they came in year! I look jealousy at the amounts the jobs they applying / charging for, I just love the science and teaching to much to give it up!
