It’s been 76 years.

It started on May the 15, 1948.
NOT October 7th.

Mahmoud received a scholarship study anywhere in the world, and he chose the University of Melbourne. Devastatingly, he was killed by Israel's genocide last week.

Uni Melb's Gaza solidarity encampment renames Arts West to Mahmoud’s Hall.

there's now over 500 university workers who have signed onto this statement supporting the Gaza solidarity encampments. you can still add your name if you haven't yet. we need to support all efforts to speak the truth & effect change to end this genocide.

grateful to @OverlandJournal & @gtiso for giving me the space, & their editing wisdom, to share these thoughts that have been churning around in my brain about the histories and politics and responsibilities and uses of emotions in these times

The unwillingness to not just “demand” answers from #Israel, when an #Australian citizen is killed in #Gaza, but do something tangible. Eg. Stop military ties. Stop selling parts for Israeli weapons.
It ain’t hard but Canberra doesn’t have an independent foreign policy so…

[Tess Scholfield-Peters @tessschopeters]

Some exciting and surreal news from me! My first book DEAR MUTZI will be released 1 June 2024, published by @nationallibraryaus.

Thank you @booksandpublishing for this early review! I can’t wait for it to finally be out in the world. Yay.

Doing final revisions on my book about my grandfather’s escape from Nazi genocide while watching genocide happen in real time in #Gaza is profoundly disturbing. The lie of ‘never again’ is particularly haunting today. #FreePalestine

We will never forget, or forgive this imagery. But, Palestinians have not lost hope in 75 years of oppression. This weekend MARCH. Rally, walk harder than you ever have. Yell. Douse yourself in red paint. Stand in lobbies of your local member. Object, reject, protest

[Jordy Silverstein @jordana_s_]

feels hard to articulate how sick this makes me.

there's so many of us doing good work and wanting permanent jobs, and there's so much work to be done, everyone is exhausted, and yet this obsession with storing away money continues on

glad to be part of one of the groups signing onto this. jews need to be clear that the IHRA definition does not aid in fighting antisemitism & that actually it's anti-Palestinian. we don't want it instituted. anti-racism comes through solidarity, not through mechanisms like this.
