A short article that I wrote in Arabic is out! In it, I gesture to what I see as three important areas for future studies of the history of Ash’ari creed in the Islamic West. 🧵 1/

The Ministry of Health just published the names of 7028 Palestinians, including 2913 children killed in #Gaza.

Scrolling over this is so painful. The first 88 names are from the same family! The next 72 from one family! And the undescribable pain goes on. No words.

Al-Jazeera's host bursts into tears as he announces the news of the tragic murder of the son, daughter, wife and several grandchildren of his colleague Wael al-Dahdouh in an Israeli airstrike in Gaza.

Met @SummerForPA for the first time on Wed and was blown away.

Unwavering moral clarity about the preciousness of life and a refusal of double standards.

Why are the the most junior and vulnerable Congresspeople taking the most risks in speaking out while the safest and most senior reps sit by silently?

That has to change.

[Cori Bush @CoriBush]

Our pro-peace movement is strong. With each passing day, more and more lawmakers are heeding the call for an immediate ceasefire.

This is about saving lives. Call and demand a #CeasefireNOW.

@abigail_balbale Wasn’t ultimately able to make this talk, unfortunately. Do you know if they will share a recording of it?

[Sharif Abdel Kouddous شريف عبد القدوس @sharifkouddous]

An Israeli airstrike hit al-Ahli Hospital in Gaza City that was packed with the wounded and other Palestinians seeking shelter. At least 500 dead, according to health ministry.

@abigail_balbale We have been working through precisely these questions in my “Judaism, Christianity, Islam” class, as part of a two-week unit on Al-Andalus, 😔. Hoping I will make it virtually to this talk!

As Israel continues to lay siege to Gaza, powerful scenes of solidarity with Palestine from Rabat. Hard to estimate the scale of these protests, but at least tens, if not hundreds, of thousands peacefully expressing deep anger and grief.

[Omar Baddar عمر بدّار @OmarBaddar]

The media climate is so insane right now that the Israeli military can kill a major media outlet’s videographer, & their own statement on it won’t tell you who did it 🤦‍♂️

remarkable Haaretz op-ed by the award-winning Israeli journalist and commentator Gideon Levy

[AJ+ @ajplus]

Israel and Gaza are not two countries at war. Gaza is a territory under siege, where every aspect of life is controlled by Israel.

Palestinians didn’t break through a “border” to enter Israel. They destroyed a fence separating them from the homes they were forced out of.

Doctor in Gaza: "Everywhere you go.. you see funerals, you see death, buildings collapsing. It's like you're watching a movie about the end of life.. Kids are crying & screaming, there's no electricity, there's no internet.. you feel you could be next" https://t.co/08l8kVxnLk

[Yumna @yumna_patel]

I have not seen a single report where western journalists ask the Israeli relatives of captives/deceased if they condemn the violence of their state or government against Gazans. Yet every. Single. Palestinian. Is asked if they condemn Hamas, even as they mourn their dead family.

[Democracy Now! @democracynow]

Western reaction to Israel's assault on Gaza reveals a double standard when it comes to how Israeli & Palestinian lives are valued, says Palestinian writer @m7mdkurd. "The PR strategy of the Israeli regime throughout all of this has been to invoke those Islamophobic sentiments.”
