Wrote about @EdinburghUni's failure to protect its Palestinian/anti-zionist students and staff against Zionist attacks on academic freedom/freedom of speech. Share widely + thank you @shado_mag for providing a space for my work. 1/12
Can we trust our universities to protect their Palestinian students?
Dario Karin Pomar Azar writes on the University of Edinburgh’s failure to protect freedom of speech on Palestine & the weaponisation of the IHRA Working Definition of Anti-Semitism.

“I think the answer to why [Palestine marches] are being very clearly misrepresented as hate marches is to undermine the hundreds and thousands of people who are turning up on the street. It’s to distract from the government’s complicity in these crimes.”

Proud to have written a film review of Lana Daher's Do You Love Me for @TheMarkazReview.
Here's a quote: "As Israel’s war on Lebanon rages on, this film’s ambition to unite a fragmented people is even more urgent."

A few weeks ago, the British Palestinian Committee hosted a launch event in parliament for Forensic Architecture and Earshot's groundbreaking report on Israel's massacre of aid workers in Gaza in March 2025.
Their research revealed that two days following the massacre, a British reconnaissance flight flew over the site of the massacre.
We demand that the government reveal this crucial evidence to aid in this investigation and future accountability efforts.
The BPC joins over 200 other signatories in rejecting Palestinian erasure at the British Museum.
We also condemn the Museum’s decision to host an event for the Israeli Embassy last year, and oppose its ongoing relationship with BP, a company profiting from Israel’s genocide in Gaza.

The fetishization of horizontalism has led to some of the worst organizing dynamics I've ever seen, and it's the dominant orientation towards political work (imo because of decades of anti communist propaganda). I'm so sick of it
The establishment will use the Gordon & Denton by-election result to convince you that clarifying a candidate’s position on Palestine is sectarian voting. Don’t let them. The British public has shown that it is overwhelmingly against genocide regardless of religion or ethnicity.
Yesterday, the British Palestinian Committee hosted a launch event for @ForensicArchi and @earshot_ngo's groundbreaking new report in Parliament.
FA and Earshot's research reveals shocking details regarding Israel's massacre of aid workers in Gaza in March 2025.
Crucially, this includes the fact that a British reconnaissance plane flew over the site of the massacre only two days following the killings.
The BPC joins FA and Earshot in demanding that the UK government reveal any footage taken during that flight, as it may contain evidence crucial for bringing the perpetrators of the massacre to justice for their crimes under international criminal law. Speakers warned that failure to do so may amount to obstruction of justice.

The NCAG’s alignment with the authoritarian PA signals that true Palestinian political agency will continue to be eroded. The British government must resolutely reject Trump’s plan for Gaza and demand political pathways that dismantle the structures that enable genocide, siege, and occupation. (2/2)
Resharing @yarahawari's excellent policy memo for @AlShabaka: Not only does Gaza’s governance and reconstruction require a permanent ceasefire, these efforts must also keep Palestinian sovereignty at their core. (1/2)
Yesterday, parliamentarians questioned the Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for the Middle East, Hamish Falconer MP, on the government’s continued failure to uphold international law and protect Palestinians from Israeli genocide and impunity.
