New book coming out in May via @politybooks that puts capitalism centre-stage in our understanding of the media. Stick that on a billboard.

I can’t so much as buy a tin of beans without thinking about how our ruling classes are currently enabling a colonial war of genocide and mass starvation in Palestine. If our world had any shred of justice these monsters would rot in The Hague.

'A Textbook Case of Genocide'.

This was an article written by Raz Segal, the towering Israeli-American associate professor of genocide and Holocaust studies.

Guess when it was written?

October 13, 2023.

This crime was obvious from the very start.

Our new edited book, Conflict Mediation in the Arab World, has been released by @SUPress hoping it will contribute to a better understanding of why most international mediation efforts have historically failed in the Middle East and North Africa context. Foreword by Bill Zartman, this is the first comprehensive reference on mediation in the region which includes many cases including #Syria, #Libya, #Yemen, #Sudan, #Palestine, #Iraq, The Gulf, and #Algeria. A team of 19 international scholars contributed to this research project, which took four years to finish. It has been an honor to work with all of them. Thanks to my co-editor Isak Svensson, Uppsala, and the rest of the research team: I. William Zartman, Peter Wallensteen, Laurie Nathan, @mabunimer_nimer, @MagnusLLundgren, @AllardDuursma, Alma Abdul-Hadi Jadallah, @DrMCherkaoui, @sumosika, Danielle Martin, Love Calissendorff, @MimmiSKovacs, @NajlaElmangoush, @Ghassankhatib, @Dessnilsson, @L_MartinezL, @malaloosy, Mary Hope Schwoebel, Stina Högbladh. Many thanks also to @reemaar1998 who helped a lot with the management of the research project.

The book is available on Amazon for order.

More on the book here:
The Middle East and North Africa region has been plagued with civil wars, international interventions, and increasing militarization, making it one of the most war-affected areas in the world today. Despite numerous mediation processes and initiatives for conflict resolution, most have failed to transform conflicts from war to peace. Seeking to learn from these past efforts and apply new research, Fraihat and Svensson present the first comprehensive approach to mediation in the Arab world, taking on cases from Yemen to Sudan, from Qatar to Palestine, Syria, and beyond. Conflict Mediation in the Arab World focuses on mediation at three different levels of analysis: between countries, between governments and armed actors inside single countries, and between different communities. In applying this holistic method, the editors identify similarities and differences in the conditions for conflict resolution and management. Drawing upon the work of experts in the field with a deep understanding of the increasing complexities and changing dynamics of the region, this volume offers a valuable resource for academics, policy makers, and practitioners interested in conflict resolution and management in the Middle East and North Africa

Six months of bombing, of destruction, of genocide - a new horrific phase in a long history of colonization and extraction.

Understanding the present crisis, Andreas Malm argues, requires a longue durée analysis of Palestine's subjugation to fossil empire
