The amount of pleasure and ease Israelis take in killing Palestinian children is perhaps the most sickening part of this entire genocide. It is constant & pathological.

on LBC: Israel's hysterical ambassador complains the whole of Israel had to spend a night in their bomb shelters 'which shouldn't be happening in a civilised country'

Can't make it to Dublin on Wednesday to join the Academics for Palestine (TCD) protest as i'm speaking Lund University on academic freedom and Palestine later on that afternoon.

However, I'll be proudly joining friends and colleagues Queen's University Belfast 🎓 at the Lanyon Building, 1pm.

Will the likes of Rachel Riley or Julia Hartley-Brewer retract or apologise for their inflammatory posts? The only Muslim involved in the attack in Australia was trying to help.
