Decolonization started the moment colonizers arrived. Our ancestors resisted. It did not start with theorizing by academics at universities

A ‘decolonise’ conference that’s rejected a panel on Palestine because they only want topics that aren’t divisive 🙃 tells you everything you need to know about ‘decolonisation’ and UK universities 🫠

The western world is not leading in anything right now except excess deaths from preventable disease, infanticide & state sponsorship of genocide.

Folks are too 🤩⚪️ deep in the idolatry of whiteness & capitalism to recognize the USA dooming itself

Fellowships to Palestinian scholars and artists affected by war in Gaza. Please circulate widely

When the ICJ ruled Israel is committing plausible genocide, Germany kept supplying Israel with arms

When the UN SC voted for a ceasefire (binding in intl law) & Israel flouted it, Germany kept supplying them with arms

Germany at the ICJ: we always call for adherence to intl law

I neither condone nor condemn these protesters. I’m as indifferent to the red paint on Labour HQ building as Keir Starmer is to Palestinians’ red blood drenching the streets of Gaza. Keir Starmer’s Labour Party is complicit in Israel’s genocide of Palestinians. Every support it…

the genocide in palestine hasn’t ended btw. I don’t know what’s worse, the people who stopped boycotting or the ones who stopped posting.

Today, the CIJ_ICJ heard oral arguments from Nicaragua, which has brought a case against Germany alleging that in providing political, financial & military support to Israel, Germany is facilitating the commission of genocide & has failed in its obligation to prevent genocide.🧵

Nicaragua at the ICJ 'The Palestinian people have the right to self determination. That means they have the right to take up arms against alien occupation'

In our MSM we rarely (if ever) hear about the rights of Palestinians to resist their occupation, including armed resistance

This 'nice cannot equal racist' narrative becomes internalised. People often struggle with believing acts of obvious racism are racism bc they are enacted by ppl who 'everyone says is so nice'. I tell them some of the most psychologically violent racism is enacted by 'nice' ppl.

The world watched a young Palestinian boy carry the corpse of a child through the rain and it made zero difference.

Feminist philosopher Nancy Fraser dis-invited/cancelled by German academia for raising voice against the genocide and scholasticide of the Palestinian Peoples.

Disgraceful and cowardly. But unsurprising.

And, an excellent rebuke by the Interim President of The New School.

The ICJ has yet to fully examine the merits of the South Africa v Israel case but has recognised the plausibility that Israel has committed acts of genocide in Gaza. The Court has recommended several provisional measures that have not been acted upon (and openly violated) by…

Six months ago I wrote the following: Academia loves to decolonize everything besides occupied land. Its silence on Palestine is enough to know how decolonization has become a metaphor signifying everything besides material change & collective resistance.

I stand by what I said.

There is no “war” in Gaza. Israel are committing genocide and you are enabling them, you despicable terrorist sympathiser.

Sign it people!!

1/2The eminent philosopher Nancy Fraser cancelled in Germany for signing a letter on Palestine. Oh, yeah, and she's Jewish. German universities cancelling Jewish academics, rings a bell...can't quite remember. Via James Jackson

The indomitable Miriam Margolyes OBE has a message in support of the Jewish Council! She calls for all of us Jews to “shout, beg, scream for a ceasefire”

When Israel bombed the first hospital in Gaza the world would not believe it.

Israel said it was a misfired Hamas rocket and the mainstream media went into protection mode.

Israel has now destroyed all 36 hospitals in Gaza… and not a single word of condemnation from the…

They killed a white American and passive voice died instantly
