My GEOG 306 class summed up in a few paragraphs, with Professor Hickel’s important edit to the first sentence: “What the present moment reveals, once again, is that Western aggression during the “Cold War” was never *just* about destroying socialism, as such.”

'[T]he genocidal project is like an iceberg of which Israel is only the tip. The rest of the iceberg is made up of an axis of genocide. This axis of genocide is the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, Australia, Canada, and France…'

✊🏽🌎 The Xinka people maintain a struggle to protect life, water and territory from deadly extractive megaprojects, including the Escobal mine. Their commitment to defend life against transnational corporations has cost them criminalization, injuries, and assassinations.

Always important to have a good book to read when you're being deported

It turns out that, since German police decreed that Ghassan Abu Sittah would have broken the law if he dared post a video of the speech they did not let him deliver at our Congress, the same applies to me. Glad to have broken their pathetic law by posting my speech - see below.

Let those who are complicit with genocide continue to show their blatant anti-Palestinian racism.

We will only grow louder and more steadfast. In our millions, in our billions. Free the people of Palestine. 🇵🇸🕊️

Read this twice

Keep speaking about Palestine

Here, in his own words Ghassan Abu Sitta details his denial of entry into Germany for the Palestinian Congress in Berlin. Threatened with arrest should he try to Zoom or FaceTime into the conference or send a recorded video of his witness statement.

This is total insanity. Germany has lost all sense of morality, AGAIN.

Especially crazy to ban someone who's a legitimate and established EU political figure. This is in effect the most powerful country in the EU saying being pro-Palestinian is a forbidden political position.

Keep talking about Palestine

German authorities detained British-Palestinian surgeon Dr. Ghassan Abu Sitta at the airport yesterday on his way to the Palestinian Congress in Berlin (which they also raided). Interrogated him & denied him entry. #Solidarity Palästina Kongress

BREAKING 🇵🇸🇩🇪 Germany’s Interior Ministry has issued a “Betätigungsverbot” on Council member @YanisVaroufakis, banning his political activity following his speech to yesterday’s Palestinian Congress.

Wow. I can’t imagine that colleagues won’t start to run, run away from Alberta universities. All of this information is publicly available but the UCP and Smith are insinuating that there is a secret agenda going on with Tri-Council peer-review adjudication by academics 🙄

In 2022, I traveled to Maya Q’eqchi’ lands and collaborated with MayanLeague and Carlos Ernesto Choc to document testimonies of forced climate migration:

🚨Upon his return from Gaza, the president of the World Surgical Foundation says 'Genocide was the overwhelming impression that I got'

He adds 'The world's best marksmen are not gonna shoot a kid in the head twice & in the abdomen'

Very harrowing details

Imagine having a Minister of Advanced Education who doesn't respect academic freedom.

Any university president in Alberta who doesn't firght to protect academic freedom will have failed in their duty to act in the best interests of their university.

Whoa. Boom #ICJ

And I did a snowpack explainer for the BC Government that you can watch here:
