dear friends, matbakh el balad, our humble protest kitchen born during October 17 protests, is now collecting cash and in-kind donations, to cook meals and send food parcels to the communities sheltering in Beirut. You can get in touch with me directly for this.
Open letter to the world: “We have come together as Palestinian academics and staff of Gaza universities to affirm our existence, the existence of our colleagues and students and the insistence on our future in the face of all current attempts to erase us” https://t.co/AyVQTmhp8B

I urge the UN to authorize the deployment of a protective presence in the occupied Palestinian territory, with the explicit mandate to prevent & repe attacks against civilians. The Israeli army has abundantly proven unwilling or unable to ensure that task.
In 5 months Israel has killed more children in a strip of land the size of Philadelphia than all conflicts worldwide did in the past 4 years combined. Destroying a population from its roots.
“US intelligence casts doubt on Israeli claims of UNRWA-Hamas links, report says”. So basically UNRWA is being defunded and key life sustaining services to genocide survivors cut based on fabrications. https://t.co/IVervk2eK1
Today we launch “Against Silence,” a series of new writing in translation by Palestinian authors in Palestine and the diaspora. Read @LKTuffaha’s introductory essay, on the “unnecessarily fraught” history of Palestinian writing in English, here: https://t.co/H9AryWfe7o
From Gazan writers to the world. Fellow translators, this project needs to expand its reach "to the east and the global south, and translate the texts into languages like Swahili, Mandarin, Russian, Turkish, Hindi, Urdu, and so on." Get all the info from https://t.co/j423upITi3
Incredible. The BBC just led their news with an 8 minute long segment on the unevidenced allegations of UNRWA staff involvement with Hamas.
Far greater coverage than they gave to the ICJ interim ruling that Israel is plausibly committing genocide.
The BBC is an utter disgrace.
So the US can instantly cut off funds for UNRWA’s life-saving work in Gaza based on unproven allegations against a tiny handful of its employees but won’t stop arming & funding an Israeli military that the highest court in the world says is possibly committing genocide. Got it.
@ICJ just recognised that the horror in Gaza plausibly constitutes genocide. A CEASEFIRE is the only sure way to fully abide by the Court's provisional measures to halt this horror.
Third States should now work to achieve it & avoid breaching their obligation to prevent genocide.
The Israeli military just blew up the University of Palestine in Gaza City with 315 mines. All the universities in Gaza have been damaged or destroyed. We need a full academic boycott.
🚨 LAUNCHING NOW
🎓 Gaza's universities have been under assault since the beginning of this violence and their digital presence is now offline.
🔐 We want to collect and preserve digital university materials until such time that they can be safely returned to these institutions.
💾 Use the link below to send us any copies of digital records, postgraduate theses, or unpublished research you might have. We will be creating a bespoke submission form in the coming weeks.
🚨This is important!🚨
Many of you have been sending us or tagging us in evidence of actual war crimes, but we are documenting complicity in those crimes through pro-genocidal rhetoric.
The ICC has now launched a portal to submit evidence of actual crimes. https://t.co/mpqzj2OOwz
