I keep on saying that Israel is writing a new page of genocide.
This video, of settlers taking boats to watch the bombing of Gaza, is disgusting beyond what decent human body and mind can tolerate.

My piece on the shrinking space for Palestine work. Our ability, as critical academics, to do our research, teaching &public engagement is an ongoing battle, one that engages key human rights concerns. Academic freedom is the bare minimum, not the end goal https://t.co/tNKL7Hbpwd

Israel commits one of its biggest child massacres 300 days after live-streaming genocide, because it knows it can with no consequences. The world will never be able to make up for what it has allowed to the Palestinians

@NewYorker “Students should choose their rhetoric more carefully,” says an essay that compares student slogans to nuclear weapons in the first sentence.

[Ella Street @__ellastreet__]

They didn’t rename the hall after a combatant, or an anti-Zionist, or an anti-Israeli…. They named it after the five year old who died alone and terrified, because Israel killed her family and the paramedics trying to reach her. Powerful witness and beautiful resistance

[AJ+ @ajplus]

Israel’s blockade of Gaza is causing a water crisis never seen before.

97% of Gaza’s water is unfit for human consumption, which means that Palestinians in Gaza are not just starving, they are also dying of thirst.
