We welcome the news that four Norwegian universities have suspended ties with complicit Israeli universities over Israel’s #GazaGenocide. This is what Palestinians, including universities and faculty unions, are calling for as the most effective means of solidarity. 🧵

We argue why Utrecht University should break ties with Israeli universities. UU's partnership w/ Ben-Gurion University legitimizes BGU's cooperation with the Israeli military & its central role in developing weapon technology used to slaughter civilians in Gaza. dub.uu.nl/en/opinion/how…

BREAKING: The Lancet has just published this article "conservatively" estimating that the death toll in the Gaza genocide could be 186,000 people or more. That's 8% of the population, obliterated. These are apocalyptic figures. thelancet.com/journals/lance…

This staggering graph just published by the United Nations shows the ages of people killed by Israel in Gaza. The base of this "pyramid" of death are babies and toddlers. This is not a war, it is a massacre of innocents.

Earlier this year I wrote about Germany's disturbing relationship with Jews for The Baffler. In light of the "Antisemitismus Resolution" passed last week, it seems I can now be labeled an antisemite by the country that murdered most of my family. thebaffler.com/latest/how-ger…

If you have a master's in history & are interested in a PhD particularly on #Angola, #Mozambique or transnational histories of liberation in southern Africa, I'd be interested in seeing your research proposal.
