For 75 years the erasure of Palestinians has been ongoing and weaponized through many tools including Prevent and IHRA in the UK academia to stop us from talking and resisting. Yet, 75 years on, we continue to speak out and fight for justice.

Another arson attempt by Israeli children and young people on UNRWA in #Jerusalem last night

This has got to stop

'In recent years, we have seen more and more cases of children being referred to Prevent for nothing more than being Muslim'

Another massacre in another hospital is about to unfold because Israel always gets away with war crimes.

BREAKING | The Palestinian Prisoner Society remarks the following:

⭕ Yesterday evening, the Israeli occupation army committed a crime against the 8-year-old child, Joud Ashraf Hamedat, from Aqabat Jaber camp in Jericho, after the soldiers shot him and subsequently detained

While everyone is busy talking about the ceasefire, East Rafah is being massacred right now, and israel is dropping flare bombs there

We have agreed this statement on the Palestine solidarity encampments set up by students at Cambridge University and University of Oxford with Oxford UCU. In line with local and national UCU policies we urge our institutions to divest from war and apartheid ucu.cam.ac.uk/joint-ucu-bran…

Students have launched a Palestine solidarity encampment at Cambridge -- Balfour's alma mater

Ethical universities and research isnt done by filling the ethics review form of anonymizing participants. More importantly, its also about ethical collaborations and divestment from any institutions or organizations that support violence, war, discrimination, supremacy etc..

An Israeli offensive in #Rafah would mean more civilian suffering & deaths. The consequences would be devastating for 1.4 million people

UNRWA is not evacuating: the Agency will maintain a presence in Rafah as long as possible & will continue providing lifesaving aid to people

The Rafah border crossing has been closed. We are all now stuck in Gaza. There is no need for further donations.
Thank you to everyone who supported me, donated, and shared my campaign. I appreciate all of you.❤
All you need to do now is pray for us.🙏🏻🙏🏻

We demand that the University of Cambridge: discloses and divests from its financial and professional support for Israel's genocide of Palestinians in Gaza; re-invests in affected academics; and protects all forced migrants and protesting students.

Today a Palestinian MA student from the destroyed Al Azhar University successfully defended his MA thesis in a tent in Rafah. The student now plans to do a PhD in Education.
