Only Israel can blow up a foreign consulate and then play the victim. Incredible levels of gaslighting. Read any British newspaper and it’s as though without reason Iran is planning a preemptive strike and Israel’s allies are rallying to defend it. The math ain’t mathing, lads.

Antisemites everywhere these days, just look at this…*checks notes*…Israeli Jewish woman and relative of a hostage. How dare she question Israel’s right to…*checks notes*…starve an entire country to death.

Linda Tuhiwai Smith on researchers’ power

'They've the power to distort, to make invisible, to overlook, exaggerate & draw conclusions, based not on factual data, but on assumptions, hidden value judgements...They've the potential to extend knowledge or to perpetuate ignorance'

If you think fertilized eggs are people but parents who've crossed the oceans with their kids aren't, stop pretending your concerns are religious.

Young couple across from me on the train cringing that their lecturer has them study his own book, whose argument he refers to as ‘his doctrine’. 😆 God I hope my students aren’t this merciless about me.

If I go past the British Library but don’t go in - if I’ve got a train to catch for instance - I feel like I’ve failed as a historian.

anita anand & I…

The British physicist, Peter Higgs, who predicted the existence of a “God Particle” has passed away at the age of 94 & was a Nobel Prize laureate.

He refused to fly to Jerusalem to accept the Wolf Prize as he was against Israel’s treatment of the Palestinians.

Rest in peace.

When I proposed to our decolonise network that we make a statement condemning genocide in Gaza, one person lambasted me and logged off, another said she refused to be apart of it, and the rest said they just wanted to focus on ‘small stuff’ like statues on campus.

I bet the word ‘Palestinians’ won’t feature once. And look at that lineup of endorses! Schama called peaceful protests against genocide ‘Kristallnacht’. Montefiore dismissed decolonial methodologies as Soviet propaganda. I’m sure this will be a rigorous piece of scholarship. 👀

With friends like these…😆

The author of this post, one Sangita Myska, ostensible champion of fellow women of colour, brave journalist etc, has unfollowed and blocked me after I reposted this with a fairly mild comment. It takes very little, doesn't it, to pull off the veil of liberal values?
