Oxford Leads the Way: No Business With or Profiteering From War Criminals
Kudos to all who fought for this historic motion, setting a powerful precedent for councils across the UK. Deep gratitude to Cllr Barbara Coyne and @HosniehMarbini for their tireless dedication and to the incredible @maynard_nick, whose searing testimony leaves no room for doubt or denial.
Now every council must step up, take responsibility, and cut ties with companies complicit in war crimes.

.@FranceskAlbs was being interviewed on Irish radio & the host quoted a US org that denies Israel is committing genocide, so Frances asked why he didn't quote experts on genocide like Omer Bartov, Amos Goldberg, Lee Mordechai or Raz Segal, instead of groups with vested interests
“The precedent set in Gaza is going to spread everywhere… it signals the demise of the rule of law. When I was in #Gaza, I felt like it was the prelude to the end of humanity.”
- Dr. Tanya Hassan, a witness to Israel’s genocide of civilians in #Gaza.
The way we organise time is strange.
365 days in a year, 12 months (of 31, 30, 28, or sometimes 29 days), 52 weeks, 7 days in a week, 24 hours in a day, 60 minutes in an hour, and 60 seconds in a minute.
How did this happen?! The story begins with an Ancient Egyptian sundial...
There's been amazing coverage of our new paper @Nature https://t.co/qkrUksBYVW but I wanted to put together a walk-through (and make this accessible as possible). It's a bit long so get a cup of tea! The full version is open access so pls do have a read if you are interested...
Professor Nick Maynard @maynard_nick on ways to support the people of #Palestine. If you're experiencing a sense of helplessness and are eager to contribute, you can engage by volunteering, fundraising, and spreading awareness through discussions about the situation in #Gaza.

Years of int'l community failing to hold perpetrators—mainly Israel—accountable for unlawful acts has led us to this flagrant disregard for the most basic principles of int'l law that grew out of ashes of WWII. Those are being demolished—literally—in Gaza.
@BBCSport Suggest abandoning conversion of tries. Give 7 points for a try. It would save time and end discrimination against wonderful tries by the corner flag.
Our interview in @thetimes with @maynard_nick, a surgeon from Oxford who volunteered in Gaza with @MedicalAidPal.
He described performing surgery at al-Aqsa hospital, including treating a 6-year old boy, whose chest had been torn apart by shrapnel.

Israel’s attacks have left Gaza’s health system on the brink of collapse. Now, Israel has issued evacuation orders for three more hospitals.
This could be a death sentence for the patients inside.
Time is running out. We must #SaveGazaHospitals https://t.co/aP1S73WmsU
