Berlin's official city portal just wrote our film No Other Land has "antisemitic tendencies". A film that won the Berlinale and was recently invited to a special screening in the German embassy in Israel. It pains me to see how, after murdering most of my family in the holocaust, you empty the word antisemitism of meaning to silence critics of Israel's occupation in the West Bank (the topic of our film) and legitimize violence against Palestinians. I feel unsafe and unwelcome in Berlin of 2024 as a left-wing Israeli and will take legal action.
Horrendous scenes unfolding in Gaza again tonight. A telecomms blackout means we will only find out far too late the damage and death that has occurred.
I fear world leaders have failed the children of Gaza by not enacting the humanitarian ceasefire that so many had pleaded for.
What? Palestinians were supposed to just go on accepting greater and greater oppression, dispossession, violence and abuse in the open-air prison? There is a context here which only the disingenuous can ignore. Free Palestine 🇵🇸
Twas an absolute delight to present my PhD research at @cangermstudies annual conference in Toronto at @YorkUniversity. Such a lovely group of open, enthusiastic and welcoming researchers across Canada and beyond; I hope I’ll meet you all again sometime! 🍻#congressh#gsc2023

It is unacceptable for Garda to tell me that my emotions might be running high and in a day or two I might not want to pursue this.
It is unacceptable for Garda to tell me that as I’m a head of a department this might be why I’m getting this response.
