Lebanon's state news agency says that Israeli forces have again fired at a UNIFIL observation post in south of country, with two Sri Lankan soldiers reportedly injured - 4th israeli attack on UNIFIL bases in past few days https://t.co/ZtJ3jHiVyy
An exclusive investigation from @CNN’s @katie_polglase reveals that former commanders of a controversial Israeli military unit - accused of heinous human rights violations against Palestinians - are now serving in senior positions in the IDF.
Bibliographical question: any recommendations for recent - say last 5-10 years - articles, chapters, books, websites, on PhD dissertation writing and professional development (especially in political science/political theory)?
After 10 years, I am proud to see the second staircase at Surbiton Station officially opened!
It is fantastic to see constituents and commuters using the staircase and the benefits it is already having on improving congestion. Thank you to everyone that has made this possible!
My book is out today, it has been a labour of love and distress. I draw on on in-depth interviews and ethnographic research with policy makers, politicians, bureaucrats, and consultants to map out India's new intellectual elite in the wake of its Hindu nationalist govt (1/2)
A quick word on this. And I say this as someone who has been very critical of Biden for months. But this thread is sort of a funhouse-mirror reality in which Biden has been too restrictive of Israel rather than too indulgent of what has become an aimless war. 🧵
Dep. Commissioner Daughtry says he found "a book on terrorism" at Columbia. (The book is not a how-to book, but a history written by a renowned British historian.)
@BeBedeGe Thanks Berit! Sorry to hear it’s been the same. Dr said today we need to get him back in for a head scan and advised an ambulance for various reasons - been waiting 5 hours for one so far..
Episode 98573752 in the slow collapse of the British state: In A&E with my 85 year old grandfather last night for 4/5 hours, told it would be at least another 7 hours.
12+ hours in a chair in an overflowing waiting room was unsustainable for an extremely frail, injured 85 y/o in pain. Took the difficult decision to just take him home. The overrun, undoubtedly hardworking, but rude staff member shrugged, nothing they could do. @JBuckleyLabour
He was found face down in the road, with gashes to his head and other injures across his body. Recommended to go to A&E by paramedics, due to a history of a stroke + recent further bleeding on the brain + associated operations.
If #Russia had conducted x3 consecutive precision strikes on deconflicted & clearly-marked aid vehicles as they traveled 2.5km along a 'safe route' in #Ukraine, #Syria or anywhere else, the #Biden admin would come down on them like a ton of bricks.
Hypocrisy, at its worst.
Crucial reporting from @yabutaleb7@John_Hudson:
- 3 weeks into the war, Biden officials privately acknowledged Israel was regularly bombing buildings without solid intelligence, while publicly saying US had "no red lines" for the military campaign.

🚔What happens when a political leader appeals to a global 'supercop' to police urban order and its reality?
✍️Drawing on actor-network theory in IR, @rhys_machold addresses this in the context of 2011🏴riots.

US law requires you to suspend military assistance to any foreign country that is restricting, directly or indirectly, the delivery of US humanitarian aid.
Until you do that, you’re not only failing to “pull out every stop” — you’re failing to follow US law you swore to enforce.
