Absolutrlely critical listening. Absence of Palestinian legal scholars from legal panels, journals is not omission, it is deliberate erasure. Thank you Nimer Sultany Ardi Imseis & Diana Buttu for your brilliant clarity & to the Pali scholars on whose shoulders we stand #Nakba

Reading the NYTimes can restore your faith in God. Pagers explode without anyone detonating them. Bombs fall without anyone dropping them. Bullets pierce people without anyone shooting them. Subhanallah.

On the 42nd fucking anniversary of the Sabra and Shatila massacre, facilitated by the IOF…. “He who lives, lives by chance, because not one span of earth has been spared the rockets and not one spot where you can take a step has been saved from an explosion.” [Darwish]

genocide media — terrorist attack is applauded as complex

Blinded by the whiteness of the #BookerPrize2024 The longlist had 4 non-white writers out of 13 and shortlist brings it down to 1 out of 6. Unfortunate given Booker's history of amplifying the diversity of anglophone writing...

Two thirds of the world voted for UN resolution upholding the ICJ verdict on Israel’s illegal occupation of Palestine, but India once again abstained from the vote. The Indian govt’s complicity in Israel’s occupation & genocide only grows.
