I am struck by how many tenured colleagues and Antiquity associations that are otherwise super vocal and very quick to put out statements and set up events when other racialized communities are affected are all of a sudden nowhere to be found. Crickets. 1/

Grimly funny that liberals keeping quiet or worse about what is going on now are having chin-stroking discussions on whether Britain should apologise for atrocities in Kenya.

Just a reminder that the Islamic University of Gaza has been destroyed. Staff members have been killed. Its website is offline. Genocide is not only the murder of people but also the erasure of their institutions. European academia has been completely silent about this crime.

Days ago Al-Jazeera was threatened by US & Israel on its coverage of the massacres in Gaza. Moments ago, Israeli strikes targeted senior correspondent (Wael Dahdouh’s) family. His wife, 2 kids. Gone. Crying over his bodies he said “They’re getting revenge through the kids?!”

Al Jazeera condemns the killing of its journalist Wael Al-Dahdouh's family in Gaza.

All communication with Gaza is cut, unprecedented bombing happening in tandem. The few news outlets there are unable to reach correspondents. This comes hours after Israel focused its campaign on targeting influencers and journalists sending videos and testimony from Gaza.

Holding my breath for the horrors that will unfold in the days of darkness ahead.

For anyone still “standing with Israel” or trying to inject false nuance into the Israeli genocide of Palestine, this thread is for you. These are the things you won’t be shown on the western news. Look at them now. It’s not too late to adjust your perspective.

Global North Academics repeat after me: Since I did not raise objections to the genocide, I shall not teach courses on decolonisation, decoloniality, post-genocide literatures from Palestine or other cognate ‘radical’ courses that’ll advance my career & help me procure grants.

Move out, civilian, we are bombing your neighbourhood. Move South Oh, we just bombed the South. Move to a refugee camp. Ok, bombed refugee camp.

Rising antisemitism since 10/7 is very real and alarming. We want to be clear: holding Jews around the world responsible for Israel’s actions is antisemitic and should be condemned outright. All people deserve to feel safe wherever they live. 1/7

Important: Max Hastings overhearing the young Benjamin Netanyahu dreaming of a war when, "if we get it right, we'll have a chance to get all the Arabs out... We can clear the West Bank and sort out Jerusalem." Given the leaks we've seen about him trying to bribe Egypt to take

British surgeon Ghassan Abu Sitta, who is working in a hospital in Gaza, explains that many injured Palestinian children will need operations throughout their lives. He also explains that he has treated white phosphorous burns #C4News

Last night my best friend in the whole world got hit by a car whilst crossing Yateley Road in Harborne Birmingham, as they turned right and didn’t stop to turn from Harborne Road at high speed, and the car didn’t stop, just drove off. This was between 5.55 - 6.03. Were you

Not so long ago you couldn’t go a day without seeing decolonise this, decolonise that. Where did all those people go 🧐🤔

Sleepless late night thoughts. A thread: I have read posts online where people have generalised the experience of Palestinian children in this genocide will lead to the emergence of future militants. This does not sit well with me. I’m sorry, but I reject this notion. 1/14
