1/ I’m an Israeli academic. My community is too silent about the ongoing war in Gaza. Here is how I see things based on reading hundreds of articles and watching thousands of videos and images about the war. This tweet chain contains my conclusions as a sort of executive summary.

Let’s see them call Ami Ayalon a self-hater or antisemitic or a Hamas spokesman. What he’s saying here is nothing short of heroic in this moment. It shouldn’t be, but it is.

This is a must watch to understand the thinking behind the latest announcements on extremism by Michael Gove.
Also remember his comments in his book as reviewed by William Dalrymple - I quote
“Worth pointing out how Michael Gove opposed Oslo and the Two State Solution in his terrible

My heart goes out to Diane Abbott MP. What a disgrace PMQs was. 2 men discussing comments from another that she should be shot. Neither of them expressing any direct concern for her. Banished from her party, without any good reason, for a year. Not invited to speak. Shameful

The racist stench at the heart of UK politics just keep getting worse and worse. theguardian.com/politics/2024/…

UNRWA aid: UK 'looking for face-saving measures to reinstate it'. Still no evidence against UNRWA provided by Israel. Starvation in Gaza. And UK is worried about 'face-saving'? The face has long been lost! middleeasteye.net/news/war-gaza-…

Jeffrey Sachs, a UN Director, in the clearest and angriest response to Israel I’ve seen

Everyone needs to say it like this:

UCU Leeds University stands in solidarity with students staging a peaceful sit-in at the Parkinson Building University of Leeds in solidarity with the situation in Gaza.

Student Rebellion Leeds

The gov's suggested new definition of 'extremists' apparently includes historical grounds when there is a refusal to 'repudiate or rescind past behaviours'. I must have missed all those UK gov apologies for slavery, colonial genocides, Iraq, etc. theguardian.com/politics/2024/…

This thread is worth a read.
The space to be a public servant and Muslim is deliberately being threatened.
This divisive approach is dangerous and must be called out.
There are parts of our right wing politics and the right wing media that want to stop British Muslims from being

Civil servant Alexandra Jones is on the board of UKRI and helped science secretary Michelle Donelan draft her false allegations of extremism against two of our colleagues ft.com/content/29dc29…

Israel’s top rabbi in Jaffa calls to genocide Gaza: “Don’t leave a soul alive…not only 14, 16-year-old lads…also the next generation. And those who create the future generation.” Asked “Babies too?” He responds “Same thing. You can’t outsmart the Torah.” ynet.co.il/news/article/s…

Salma al-Shehab was sentenced to 34 years in prison for tweeting in support of women human rights defenders in #SaudiArabia . Two years on from her arrest we stand in solidarity with her and demand her release. #FreeSalma

This lends further support to Leeds University UCU's 04/03 resolution that Deutsch's presence on campus is untenable. UJC's conflation of support for Jewish students and for a state engaging in genocide is dangerous - meaning it should not be on campus. University of Leeds you need to respond

Israel has killed a fifth MSF International member in Gaza. This time, Reem Abu Lebdeh, a trustee of MSF International_uk was bombed with members of her family.
We have lost patients and colleagues to the barbaric Israeli war machine. They targeted and bombed hospitals, displaced civilians, starved

Publicly denounced by the government, abandoned by their research quango, their equality committee suspended, smeared by some of their colleagues, hounded into deleting or locking accounts, and all they get after four plus months was this lousy non-apology.
