@Dr_mauraf Antifascistdog and I sending you all the hugs and solidarity in the world

[VYChoi @ethnoscribe]

Please support my friend and colleague @Dr_mauraf, a professor steadfast in her duties to teach and educate on the histories of injustice and occupation.

[Allegra Lab @allegra_lab]

We stand in solidarity with @Dr_mauraf who is the target of a campaign aiming to silence her opinion on Palestine. At a moment when a genocide is unfolding and world leaders fail to act, freedom of expression must be defended. Sign the petition! https://t.co/B3tYritFcU

#anthrotwitter: A recent post opposing BDS @anthroboycott @AmericanAnthro invoked the Anti-Defamation League in support of the mistaken & DANGEROUS claim that criticisms of the Israeli state & its oppression of Palestinians is somehow an attack on Jews or is antisemitic. 1/11 🧵
