New article out with the wonderful @DrDeniseBuiten - we highlight that news reporting on violence against disabled people is not only ableist and legitimising, but constitutes epistemic violence against disabled people

While @SenatorWong was busy crafting a statement about “abhorrent’ clashes with soccer hooligans.
IDF’s’ Brigadier General Itzik Cohen told Israeli reporters:
“there is no intention of allowing the residents of the northern Gaza Strip to return”

Another Nakba is not abhorrent?

Six things that happened in the last 24 hours in the Middle East's only 'democracy':
1.⁠ ⁠The Gaza genocide proceeded
2.⁠ ⁠More ethnic cleansing in the West Bank, including settler pogroms aided & abetter by the IDF et al
3.⁠ ⁠A young Palestinian woman from Beit Jala, whose family's land was plundered by settlers, was arrested on the false charge of attacking a settler
4.⁠ ⁠Ben Gvir called for a synagogue to be built within the Al Aqsa compound
5. Israeli soldiers burned copies of the Quran inside a Gaza mosque
6. Israeli Police banned the screening of a critical film in the Communist Party club and summoned the Party's Haifa district secretary for questioning.

And the world remains silent...

University of Melbourne today, UNSW yesterday, Sydney University in May – support for the institutional academic boycott of Israel and for ending arms collaboration is rapidly becoming the default position in the @NTEUnion.
