for @Parapraxis_Mag I wrote about Palestine as an Arab issue, Arab political subjectivity in the aftermath of the Arab Spring, counterrevolution and reverberations of political defeat since 1967 in an attempt to answer the question “where are the Arabs?”

Just once, I’d like the BBC to centre a Palestinian whose family has been displaced and slaughtered in the name of zionism, instead of someone whose feelings are hurt because a British party called zionism, a racist ideology, racist.

Went on BBC Politics Live to discuss why Zionism is a racist ideology. The anchor and all three panelists looked like they were about to cry at the end. Very weird behaviour.

Join the Green Party.

I wrote about Michael Olise and how I’m tired of the Ballon d’Or being the center of conversations about great players, which leads to rival fans denigrating wonderful players in order to boost their favorites

BREAKING NEWS
The 2026 #NobelPrize in Literature is awarded to the Canadian author Anne Carson, “for her bold and inventive oeuvre that, in playful dialogue with the classical tradition, has created new forms for contemporary literature.”

[Philip Proudfoot @PhilipProudfoot]

“Zionism is racism” is a practical motion, despite confused insistence otherwise. This is because, to counter genocide, you must be clear on the ideology driving it. We don’t say “Hutu Power means many things to many people” — the driving force behind Rwandan genocide, do we?

[Barry Malone @malonebarry]

Spot on. Despite the hysteria, this has now been forced into the open and many people are having their eyes opened for the first time.

crucial from Nasser Abu Rahmeh on seeing Zionism and anti-Zionism from a Palestinian and Arab lens

[Parapraxis @Parapraxis_Mag]

"What anti-Zionism ultimately amounts to...is a liberation of land and people that is indifferent to Zionism’s self-image. As such, it does not demand a relational ethics; it demands a liberatory praxis.”
-Nasser Abourahme

revisiting this essay on the anniversary of the 1973 October War

[Nihal | نهال @nihalist___]

I wrote a long essay on the effect of the establishment of Israel in the Arab a region on Egypt's modernization journey, why Egypt had to be taken out of the equation first, how the Camp David accords can explain the current moment and more for TNI

صباح الخير بس لعبد المنعم رياض،سعد الدين الشاذلي و الجنود المصريين الي عبروا في ٦ اكت��بر ١٩٧٣ و الشعب المصري الي طالبهم بكدا من ٦٧ و الي خانهم و باعهم محمد انور السادات

[Nihal | نهال @nihalist___]

any discussions on tactics or feelings or whatever is secondary to this

[Nihal | نهال @nihalist___]

Green Party aside, the fact that there is now wide discourse about why Zionism is a racist ideology that has been a chimera of death and destruction in the Arab and Iranian region is a good thing actually

[Nihal | نهال @nihalist___]

anti-Zionism should be and is the threshold, and the fact that this position is being laid out at length on British mainstream media is great
