Nobody is calling for a boycott of Israeli academics themselves (though perhaps some individuals should be boycotted).

However, Israeli institutions are complicit in a genocide.

Academics signing this put careerism (and Zionism) above of humanity.

Graduating students from the Master of Arts in Arab Studies at Georgetown University walked out of their graduation ceremony in protest of the ongoing genocide in Palestine and the school's complicity.

Spoken like someone who truly has no fucking clue.

Ofir Gendelman, the Israeli PM's spokesperson to the Arab world, is falsely claiming this video shows a Palestinian 'child actor' faking injury for Hamas in Gaza.

They are a rogue state committing a genocide while the West stands by and watches or even applauds. It is fucking sickening.

No end to Britain’s financialized welfare system in hands of private equity. Scandalous and so cruel. “How can a child in care cost £281,000 a year? Ask the wealth funds that have councils over a barrel” great piece as usual by ⁦George Monbiot⁩ theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Heeding the call from the heroic students in U.S. and Europe, we, students at Hiroshima University (広島大学学生自治会) have joined the #GazaSolidarityEncampment , pledging allegiance to the flag of Palestine. We demand that the President Mitsuo Ochi sever ties with Tel Aviv University.

Some people have responded to that chart with 'That can’t be right', or 'We can’t be worse than America'.

I’m afraid the chart is right. 15 years ago the UK’s record on homelessness *was* not too dissimilar to other developed countries, but things have rapidly deteriorated.

Averaged across OECD countries, 80% of homeless people are those staying in shelters, hostels and other temporary accommodation.
