So having just joined twitter I figured I’d talk all about the dopeass research I’ve wasted the last four years doing so I can have the pleasure of calling myself a doctor for clout.

On 12th June -10am–5pm.

After never having been charged with - & never having been found guilty of terrorism - Pro-Palestine activists will be sentenced for terrorism.

A first in UK history.

Please RT this until this travesty of justice is ended.
Thank you.

The Nakba continues in the West Bank. And zionists use archaeology and heritage “protection” to claim and annex Palestinian land. Congress mentioned on slide4 due to happen again this year. Full slides in linktree in bio #nakba #archaeology #biblicalarchaeology

⚽️ @LFC, @Arsenal and @SpursOfficial top the league table of complicity – but every club is indirectly sponsored by @Barclays, the EPL’s main sponsor – which has long enabled apartheid.

[isaac Samuel @rhaplord]

They're in the replies trying to project recent colonial violence and population displacement into the deep past (probably to justify colonial atrocities)

This is exactly why ancient DNA should not (and cannot) replace historical and archaeological research

[New Lines Magazine @newlinesmag]

NEW: Why has the British Museum removed references to Palestine? They say they’re under no political pressure, but documents shown to @newlinesmag suggest a more complicated picture, as @lsmwilson traces. https://t.co/uYyYzSmx9m

On Tuesday, we open the doors to the first library established amidst the genocide in Gaza. 📚

Thank you all for your support.❤️

Every time the West calls an African country "unstable" they mean the resources stopped flowing.

I made a glossary of 100 diplomatic words they use and what they actually mean.

Israel killed two UNICEF drivers trying to get WATER to families in Gaza. Is this story going to get any coverage?

Or is the ongoing genocide not newsworthy?

All is not as it seems with the Filton re-trial. The UK press have a court order not to report on this:

Jurors deserve to hear the whole truth.

[The Grayzone @TheGrayzoneNews]

EXCLUSIVE: UK seeks to jail Palestine Action for ‘terrorism’ amid UK media blackout

6 activists could be sentenced as terrorists, facing long prison terms

But the jury has not been notified about the 'terror' designation, and UK media can't report on it

I just read the new Haaretz article about how Israeli planted pines are suddenly dying en masse and it is absolutely worth dissecting. Here are a summary & my observations as a Palestinian scholar who writes on green colonialism. 1/

This week, the Starmer administration voted to get rid of jury trials, a right enjoyed by British citizens for over 800 years.

But my investigations reveal THREE pro-Israeli lawyers pushing for the change.

Here are their names:🧵

1/12 Bahrain is one of the gulf countries being hit with missiles, and as people follow the news, it’s important you understand the country, its context and history:
The indigenous population of Bahrain are the Baharna (بحارنة) – mostly made up of Arab Shia (it was one of the first countries to become Shia in the region in the 7th century). The Alkhalifa family (from the Bani Utbah tribe) occupied Bahrain by force in 1783 coming from Zubara (modern day Qatar) and have been ruling with violence since then. During the 2011 uprising one of the prominent chants was “go back to Zubara, your visit is over”, as the Bahrainis consider themselves occupied. This makes Bahrain the oldest ongoing occupation in the region.
