Yesterday I found out that my employer is ending the contracts of our fab Locally Employed Doctors and not replacing them, reducing our mental health unit staffing by 4 doctors.
We are expected to absorb the work.

Labour & @wesstreeting cutting the NHS.

There is a mental health crisis in the UK, with people waiting for more than a year to access services.

8000 doctors have applied for ~500 posts that train them to become psychiatrists.

We have enough doctors wanting to train, the UK just refuses to train them.

Tears of joy among Gaza’s Civil Defense teams, who have worked tirelessly over the last 470 days to save lives across the Palestinian territory.

It has been over three weeks since the Israeli forces have abducted Dr. @HussamAbuSafiya. Hundreds of healthcare workers have been abducted, they all must be released. Healthcare workers are not a target.

This child was asked:

“What will you do on the first day of a ceasefire?”

His response:

“I want to go to my mother. My mother died. I want to visit her grave and pray over her grave.”

We have failed. As humans of the world, we have utterly failed.

1/ The Zionism Observer genocide archival project is 1 year old today.

A year ago I asked myself what a software developer could do for Palestine, in the face of a genocide. A year ago, I founded a "startup" dedicated to memory and accountability for the Zionist genocide.

Some thoughts, after a year. 🧵

Yesterday during a lab meeting, my mentor informed me that I may no longer progress in my career due to my so-called 'infamy.' I was told that I was to blame for the challenges I've been facing in publishing my work—that my 'negative' political activism might be provoking the particularly unusual hostility of peer reviewers. Apparently, several 'respectable' figures in the scientific community have contacted him to voice their disapproval and even urged him to terminate my employment. This also highlights how the cowardly silence of my 'allies' perpetuates bigotry and exclusion.

To my 'colleagues' who feel entitled to pass judgment on my existence as a Palestinian scientist—one who cannot turn away from the human instinct to preserve life while witnessing the daily murder of my people—I regret to inform you that I will continue to exist, unapologetically, with no regard for your comfort or supremacist ideals.

Fortunately, science is not confined to institutions. It lives in my mind and heart, and I can enjoy it fully—even from the solitude of my imagination; even if I were to become homeless. Home, however, is precisely what I am fighting for. I only wish I had the privilege to contemplate nature, without the existential threat of Zionism.

From my perspective at the margins here at MIT, I have come to see academia for what it truly is: a stronghold of racism, classism, and spiritual rot masquerading as enlightenment.

Apologies in advance if I don’t respond to comments on this post—this is a deeply personal reflection, shared primarily for myself.

🚨Breaking: Israeli army has killed journalist Mohannad Khaled in a strike on #Gaza City.

Israel continues to systematically eliminate Gaza’s journalists, silencing the truth one voice at a time.

[Nour Naim| نُور @NourNaim88]

🚨The Israeli army has abducted five orthopedic surgeons from #Gaza, whose fate remains unknown:
Dr. Murad Al-Qouqa
Dr. Mohammed Obaid
Dr. Ghassan Abu Zahri
Dr. Mahmoud Abu Shahada

During this war, they also abducted Dr. Adnan Al-Barsh and killed him under torture in detention.

Never has a crime so obscene been so confessed to, so endlessly, so shamelessly, so proudly

The family of my friend and colleague Fadi Al-Wahidi have just announced an indefinite hunger strike to protest Israel's refusal to permit him to travel for critical medical treatment. His mother, who is battling cancer, is joining this act of defiance.

[Saul Staniforth @SaulStaniforth]

Ordering people to move to an area, telling them they'll be safe there, & then killing them, is called perfidy and its a war crime.

[Yipeng Ge 葛义朋 @yipengGe]

You and your government have enabled Israel to commit its crimes of genocide. You are complicit in genocide.

The bare minimum is a full two way arms embargo, sanctions on Israel, and ending diplomatic ties to Israel. No one wants your empty words. We see through your lies.
