🚨Palestinian academics in the UK issue emergency call in defence of universities in Gaza and for urgent public commitments from UK universities and international organisations to support their rebuilding.🇵🇸

These professors are doing their jobs. Our job is to protect are students and help them gain the capacities to participate in and build better futures. Absolute solidarity with all students and professors in the US facing the full might of a violent police state. Free Palestine.

Encampments are not only zones of demands & refusals, but also processes of communing, making decisions together, enacting solidarity as a verb, embodying autonomous & collective liberation. They are themselves zones of imagination, of connection, of prefiguring life & new worlds

A good way to show solidarity with Prof. Nadera is to read and share her academic work. Here are a few recommendations:

[thread] Dear @ISAnet executive, I am taking this opportunity to respond to the email you sent to your membership yesterday regarding discussions of the genocide in #Gaza at #ISA2024 1/

A small step towards a bit of hope

This will now be considered for a Parliamentary debate.

Well done to Gaza Families Reunited

Britain's nuclear status relies heavily on cooperation with the US, with special nuclear flights regularly operating from RAF Brize Norton. But what does this mean for our so-called 'independent' foreign policy?

Our new briefing with Nukewatch 👇cnduk.org/resources/spec…

They killed my friend and colleague Dr Ahmad Maqadmeh at Shifa Hospital. A beautifull soul and a great surgeon. We worked together in the Great Marches of Return and the 2021 war and then this recent war. His dedication was unlike anything I have ever seen. We will never forgive.

I won’t be able to present at #ISA2024 because my US visa appt is in 2026. How many academics from the global south are forced to wait, prevented from accessing these spaces? Immobility helps define those who speak their voices in academia and those whose voices are spoken for.

#Gaza : RSF alerts on the disappearance of 🇵🇸 journalist Bayan Abusultan, last seen on 19/03 among those sequestered in the raid on Al Shifa hospital in Gaza. RSF demands that the 🇮🇱 army immediately shed light on the disappearance of Bayan 𓂆.

Every VC of every University needs to read this report & consider what can best be done. Students & staff need real educational leadership.

No more shilly-shallying. This isn’t hard.

ICJ = plausible risk of genocide
