Worth noting that while Suella Braverman labelled protests calling for a ceasefire in the Middle East ‘hate marches’, she has said absolutely nothing about violent racist mobs attacking people, damaging mosques, injuring police officers and setting fire to vehicles and shops
At least one good thing has come out of the last few days
Black, Brown and White people in this country who knew these Tommy Robinson followers were overwhelmingly racist at their core, have been vindicated
We’re all just Pakis, N words and any other combination of the above
There is NO civil war
It’s criminality posing as protest
It’s a minority of radicalised individuals binging on lies & disinformation
It’s grifters grifting
Meanwhile, good people are protecting the vulnerable
Thinking of the families of Alice, Elsie & Bebe - lest we forget
I have honestly never seen anything as horrific as the videos from Rafah. A father holding his baby with their head missing. And the settlers are celebrating. The settler colony will never be able nor allowed to recover from its crimes. It has to go, from the river to the sea
This is fucking INSANE.
American campuses with intel offices with professors reporting back to Tel Aviv — to a foreign state.
While politicians say idiotic garbage like “Hamas has infiltrated campuses” — Israel is LITERALLY SPYING ON AMERICAN STUDENTS WITH NYPD SUPPORT
After seven months I am baffled that so-called intellectuals can’t grasp the most basic truth that there are humans around the world live-streaming the most barbaric slaughter of fellow humans and wanting it to stop. That’s it. You can stop writing your op-eds and go home now.
Invited to address a conference in Berlin about my work in Gaza hospitals during the present conflict.
The German government has forcibly prevented me from entering the country
Silencing a witness to genocide before the ICJ adds to Germany's complicity in the ongoing massacre.
Thinking about the loud collective silence we live in, the turning away, pretending it has nothing to do with ‘us’ while our UK taxes fund genocide; about complicity; careers built on writing & teaching about everything except colonial violence, especially this colonial violence.
🚨Zomi & Chef Oli's last video shows them cooking meals for Gaza's hungry in @WCKitchen.
They were killed today by Israeli warplanes in #Gaza , in disregard of international laws, echoing the daily killings of Palestinian civilians in Gaza over the past 177 days.
#GazaGenocid
After all, institutions never wanted decolonial thought. Students did - they protested globally in the streets for it - the bargain institutions struck with them was that by letting academics use the language they’d stop the students demanding change to material realities. [3/4]
That’s why, I think, so much bad faith / ineffectual work is done under the heading ‘decolonisation’ in the academy. It is so carefully policed so that its language becomes divorced from its effects - the language you can write articles on, the effects you’d get sacked for. [2/4]
We were bombed , or better they bombed close to Ernestos farm and sanctuary and we were damaged , our windows shattered .
Our animals scared our humans desperate.
