This speech by Nada Tarbush at a United Nations conference yesterday will go down in history.

In front of a room filled with states from around the world, she exposes the racist ideology that underpins Western support for Israel.

What is the purpose of continuing to send arms to Israel,…

Whoa. Sydney Morning Herald (The Sydney Morning Herald) reports that the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (@ABCaustralia) sacked award-winning Australian-Lebanese host Antoinette Lattouf after a 'high-level and coordinated letter-writing campaign from pro-Israel lobbyists.'

The number of journalists killed during Israel’s war on Hamas is appalling and unprecedented.

79 in just three months, according to Committee to Protect Journalists

Journalists in Gaza are our eyes and ears for the truth, and must be protected, like civilians, under the laws of war.

Loved the conversation, thank you Christiane Amanpour CNN Peter Frankopan

My message from Gaza today:

Sometimes American friends try to persuade me we would be better off with their system…

which according to this The New York Times = inflated prices, for more expensive healthcare, and still a lower life expectancy. Which not everyone can access.

The iconic Margaret E Atwood will be joined by the incisive Afua Hirsch for what promises to be a fascinating conversation around Burning Questions. You can join them at St Mary's London tomorrow evening, with tickets available here: bit.ly/3sJYjhN

On Sunday there will be a 'March Against Antisemitism' in London. A short thread:

You all saw this right? The majority of our political leaders aren’t asking themselves what’s right, but what’s electable.

If you are asking yourself why MP’s failed to call for a ceasefire in Gaza, and you don’t vote…

You are part of the answer

Do historic figures have the reputation they deserve? What is their true legacy?

It’s never not a good time to ask these questions

I remember having to explain that not only are brown ppl capable of racism, but colonialism gave many a deep self loathing, which was then weaponised against other brown ppl

To Suella Braverman MP
For educating an entire nation on what this looks like

thank you for your service

Imagine calling people marching peacefully, for an end to killing, 'hate marchers'

Calling the far-right, assembling for hate, 'counter-protestors'

All under a government that says that to use Armistice Day to call for an armistice is 'disrespectful'

Imagine
#March4Palestine

LOVE this first review of Decolonising My Body The Standard
'An outspoken voice for racial equality, she's tirelessly waded in, raised her head above the parapet. Here, we see a different Hirsch. In this love letter from the diaspora to our ancestors, she is quietly radical'
