So much fun

[Decolonial Conference @decolonialconf]

Every university and academic organization that stays silent about this is also complicit.

American actor John Cusack was chosen
As “Anti-Semite of the Week” by Stop Anti-Semitism USA
For his public expression of his pro-Palestinian views.
The actor said in his words:
▪️ “I pity those bastards who think I care about my future projects in Hollywood while committing genocide in Gaza.”
▪️ “We reject the lie that the security of one country depends on the destruction of another people.”
▪️ “Oh my God, whoever does not want a ceasefire has no soul. We cannot stop until these attacks stop.”
Staying silent is the most shameful thing I can imagine.
▪️ “The immorality of the West’s position is unparalleled, and words are insufficient to express it
. “Imagine that October 7 (Hamas attack) lasted for 115 days?

We’re recruiting! Applications are now open for two, fully-funded PhD scholarships to explore the #PunjabRegisters - a unique archive containing the service histories of c. 320,000 Punjabis who served in the First World War... 1/10.

Fixed it for you, Mr President 🫡

[Dr. Omar Suleiman @omarsuleiman]

Gaza mornings. Gaza mournings. Israel taking advantage of so many distracted by Christmas capitalism to carry out its worst atrocities. These are the gifts that Palestinians wrap in their land. Dead bodies. Last night was one of the worst.

Don’t stop fighting this genocide until it’s over.

[Trita Parsi @tparsi]

Powerful.

"We the Palestinians will recover... But for those who are complicit, I feel sorry for you. Will you ever recover? Your charity and your words of shock after the genocide will make no difference... We will not accept your apology after the genocide!"

Harsh words from @MuntherIsaac of Bethlehem for those enabling the slaughter in Gaza.

You can’t diversity, equity, and inclusion your way out of imperialism and settler colonialism.

Benjamin Zephaniah's poem about Soho Road is still a powerful one almost 20 years on

More of this. Much more. @RepDanGoldman

[Jairo I. Fúnez-Flores @Jairo_I_Funez]

There’s nothing like a four-day pause in genocide during a holiday founded on genocide. Let “Americans” eat turkey in peace.

For merely saying Palestinians should not be killed & cleansed, people have been:

1. Fired
2. Censored/Suppressed
3. Arrested
4. Disciplined
5. Derecognised
6. Shadow banned
7. Full banned
8. Verbally abused
9. Physically abused
10. Deplatformed
11. Shot

So much freedom!

Canadian prime minister @JustinTrudeau was forced out of a restaurant last week due to his stance on Israel’s war on Gaza.

[Robin Monotti @robinmonotti]

In less than 2 minutes, the representative for the State of Palestine at the UN, eviscerates the entire myth of Western "civilization" under the US Military Industrial Complex. This should be mandatory viewing in schools and universities throughout the Western world, if we do want to learn about upholding human rights, before we even begin to preach them to others.

[Lou Fenech @FenechLou]

Happiest of days

[Trita Parsi @tparsi]

Don't believe for a second that Biden's greenlighting of Israel's slaughter in Gaza only hurts America's standing in the Middle East.

This is Mexico City. I cannot recall the last time there was a protest of this size in Mexico against Israel's war.
