Another vivid reminder... It's not about anti-semitism It's about silencing people speaking out about genocide That's why Mohsen Madawi, a Palestinian-born Greencard holder was apprehended a few hours ago by ICE

My union branch ucu.group.shef.ac.uk has declared 10 days of Strike Action, as well as Action Short of Strike (ASOS) until management commit to the reasonable demand of avoiding compulsory redundancies. We hope the VC + senior management see sense beforehand..

There is basically a media blackout on this story about Amnesty’s annual report. Nothing from NYT, CNN, AP, Reuters, WaPo, BBC… If the largest human rights organization in the world saying Israel is carrying out a LIVE-STREAMED GENOCIDE in Gaza isn’t newsworthy, what is?
