People ask why I change “Gazans” to “Palestinians.”

You can see NYT avoids saying it intentionally because it serves the Israeli goal of erasing the Palestinian national identity, which is inextricably tied to their struggle for self-determination.

Israel: actually bombs an embassy, a globally and historically unprecedented act of aggression

Iran: in response, sends a symbolic arsenal with sufficient information to shoot it down

Israel: talks about starting WWIII in “retaliation” for shit they started

They’ll tell you to be a good immigrant. Put your head down, work hard. So you do. You make it, you are Valedictorian at a great school. Turns out, your hard work can only get you so far, because you’re still Muslim and brown and no amount of work can change that. Shame on USC.

Maher Terminal in Elizabeth, NJ was greeted by a pro-Palestine caravan led by Port Workers for Peace early today to call attention to Israeli shipping company ZIM, which docks there.

The caravan took police by surprise, who mobilized ESU, a drone, and motorcycles after it ended.

Today we learned that an Israeli military court has placed Palestinian Christian young woman Layan Nasir, who was arrested last week, in administrative detention for four months (renewable). No charges have been presented. Layan is just one of thousands of Palestinians who are in…

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.

They would've also found out that in my dissertation I wrote: 'We could also take into consideration the violent, destructive, epistemicidal practices that displaced & devastated the lifeworld of Arabs, Berbers, & Jews before 1492—practices implemented in the so-called new world'

If the university truly cared to know what I teach & write, they would have known that, as an intellectual committed to decolonial thought and praxis, I begin my critiques of colonialism & racism by tracing the dehumanization of Jewish & Muslim communities before and after 1492.

Australian police investigate why women were targeted in Sydney stabbing attack.

“Because he wanted a girlfriend and he’s got no social skills and he was frustrated out of his brain,” the attacker’s father. nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcna1…

It happened : while pushing my light skinned baby in a stroller and walking the dog, a woman just asked me if I get paid extra for the dog.

I mean, Democrats aren’t doing any of the shit she was talking about. I have no fucking clue what she could mean by this.

“When people document gentrification, we know of the explosion of unaffordability & displacement of the low-income working class, but I think we forget to ask where people are going & what they do once they’re there.”

Pretty wild watching an Israeli fascist piece of shit sit in the UN calling Iran Nazis.

'Arabs and Christians'? Can someone please explain to the ignorant German ambassador to Israel that there are Arab Christians?

2/ Nothing has broken out. The US has said it does not approve of an Israeli retalliation. Israelis expected clarity on the 'morning after', validation that they were once again perennial victims. This also did not happen. Israel and Iran are, for now, on equal footing. --->

4/ Israelis are having a very difficult time accepting Iranian rationality. To even suggest such rationality is blasphemous to the point of heresy. Israel needs to sober up quickly. It can no longer afford or expect to rampage freely. There's a new game in town.

Never forget!

Also feel similarly about terms like 'Trumpistan' or 'white Taliban' ... Own your own bigotry and hate. It's not borrowed from some '-istan', it's your own.

🚨 What we are watching unfold right now is the Nakba 2.0. Although Zionists claim that Israel was peacefully founded & then attacked by a bunch of antisemitic Arab states, forcing it to defend itself, the truth is that Arab regimes did NOT intervene until Israel ethnically…
