What have we, in Australia, learnt in the past few days? (And by learnt what I really mean is what have we not learnt despite over two decades of activists, scholars, lawyers and community writing and speaking about this?) A 🧵

It's 2024. Referring to Palestinian land as 'occupied territory' is widely accepted international consensus.

The New York Times continues to attempt to redefine international law & reconstruct reality in an effort to justify Israeli war crimes & shield Israel from scrutiny/accountability.

How is this allowed to continue? It is that hard to recognise the humanity of Palestinians

The Israeli occupation continues its massacres of innocent civilians in Gaza for the 191st day in a row. This was the scene this morning at one of the hospital mortuaries in the Strip.

Great news! Jairo I Fúnez-Flores shouldn’t have been suspended in the first place. These silencing campaigns must stop and universities should do better in protecting their staff against far right attacks.

Invited to address a conference in Berlin about my work in Gaza hospitals during the present conflict.
The German government has forcibly prevented me from entering the country
Silencing a witness to genocide before the ICJ adds to Germany's complicity in the ongoing massacre.

Fixed it.

International Crisis Group says Israel 'directs aid to big families who agree to embrace its agenda, while targeting those who refuse, risking damage to Gaza’s social fabric in a way that a U.S. official noted is reminiscent of Mogadishu in the early 1990s'…

The Israeli bombardment of al-Firas market, one of the oldest in Gaza City. The constant obliteration of all landmarks of Palestinian communal life.

🚨Breaking: UNICEF spokesperson recounts Israeli occupation forces shooting at their vehicle today while waiting at an Israeli checkpoint to enter and deliver aid to #Gaza .

‘Come out, you animals’: how the massacre at al-Shifa Hospital happened -- the IDF shot patients in their beds & doctors who refused to abandon the sick, separated people with differently-colored bracelets, executed 100s of civil govt employees.

So-called academics providing cover for Israeli atrocities in Gaza. Hasbara (propaganda) slandering any frame of 7 Oct that doesn’t fit the Israeli narrative as antisemitic. Shame on Routledge Books for publishing / profiting from genocide-washing garbage. routledge.com/Responses-to-7…

On average, Israel has killed about 75 children EACH DAY since October.

Why don’t they tell us who they are? I’d like to know which of my colleagues has signed up to this organisation. Why hide? You know who we are

42% of Palestinian civilians killed by Israel have been in zones designated as safe zones by Israel.

“The Australian Academic Alliance Against Antisemitism” is an another McCarthystic group who invoke the language of safety to silence Palestinians & their allies, while spreading anti-Palestinian racism like “how Palestinians took over the world”. They operate in our universities

How was the protest 'violent' Guardian Australia ?! This deserves a correction not just a quiet change to one word. The new version aims to portray Australian pro-Palestine protests as violent, and not even in a 'subliminal' way.
