The coloniser has of course always preferred the ruined antiquity to the living Muslim (I’m quite literally writing a book about exactly this).

Someone (shoutout Jaspal 🙌🏻) asked me today if I’ve thought at all about India manufacturing ancient origins for the purposes of Islamophobia alongside Tel Aviv’s attempts to do the same. The answer is yes, in the book that is coming iA, but there’s a short intro here 👇🏻

When Israel speaks of a "full occupation" of Gaza as next step, what they mean is the military operating, on the ground, in the last remaining pockets where the vast majority of the Palestinian population is concentrated. They mean the bloodiest stage of the genocide yet.

The kind of morning where you can write 1000 words before 7am, cry over 30 of them, and then get on with the “thanks for your email” business. 🤷🏼‍♀️ Big decisions are being made about a little project I really care about today (not by me) so pls make dua 🤲🏻/ 🤞🏻 / thumb for us!

AS PART OF STARVATION POLICY, ISRAEL DESTROYS GAZAS CROPLAND "By 28 July 2025, Israel had damaged 86%, the equivalent of almost 13,000 hectares (32,000 acres), of farmland in the Gaza Strip – up from 81% in April, the FAO said." theguardian.com/world/2025/aug…

Tfw you’ve hate-read a book so many times and for so long that the library is nervous about lending it to you for the hundredth time and you finally need to get your own copy. 🤓

Simple solution: end the 35 years of war on muslim nations, which has now turned into a livestreamed genocide. Illegal wars by the Axis, including the UK, have killed and displaced 10s million muslims. Why do people risk their own lives to cross dangerous borders and seas?

I've been struggling to properly articulate in simple terms the media's shameless shift and sudden realisation that Gaza has been systematically erased. And this Arabic saying, I think, is apt: يقتل القتيل ويمشي في جنازته He kills the victim, and walks in his funeral.

Oxford friends! I am returning to The Bad Place briefly in September for a British Academy conference on Comparative Literature and Decoloniality. Let’s hang? (Oh and check out the bottom of the second photo to see how the BA have apparently decided to drastically promote me 😉)

The Economist now publishes damning articles about the mass slaughter of Palestinians. This same outlet cheered on Israel's genocide, when it was entirely obvious from the beginning what would happen.

😂😂😂 Europe is and has always been the most destructive historiographic project ever to have existed. Eurocentrism requires active destruction of sites, archives and ways of thinking every single day. Please try to make your European supremacy at least sound a BIT plausible! 🙈

The Israeli occupation authorities forced Palestinian Hamza Ibrahim Amireh to demolish his own house in the town of Sur Baher, in occupied Jerusalem.
