From 'Things you may find hidden in my ear' by Palestinian poet Mosab Abu Toha. The loss of home and the effort to recreate from the ruins. Think about Gaza, where the safety, comfort of food, family, and sense of beloning that kitchens bring only resides in people's memories..
We know that maps are political tools, they create nation states, they dispossess communities, establish sovereign control over territories. This erasure of the West Bank is more than a 'serious violation', this is part of a colonial and genocidal agenda.

Powerful artistic response to the impacts of colonial injustice. Resistance&resurgence in York. Thank you @EmmaWaterton1 & @H4GCResCentre!
@annapjudson@womeninclassics Solid advice :) It is good for me to get this reality check once in a while.. Sometimes I feel we have reached a certain consensus in (speaking about) equity, anti-colonialism, solidarity. The reminder that there is still SO much work, is motivating. So keep up the great work!
I joined the Classicists mailing list last week. Wow, fast learning about my academic bubble, where I thought academics were generally aware what feminism means, political engagement, or solidarity.. Well done @womeninclassics for your statement! https://t.co/YPC4NkeBt9
