Interviewed here by matnashed for Al Jazeera English

“Netanyahu knew that a red line coming from the US is meaningless because Washington is incapable of holding Israel accountable for its actions”

If there is no high-level intervention and ELF falls to the RSF and atrocities are carried out, as is likely, that would render Jeddah, and its architects, impotent.

But *Jeddah is already dead* and no one has a post-Jeddah plan, nor devotes any time to even thinking of one.

And RSF get to paint SAF as the only intransigent party.

All vastly unhelpful for peace outcomes, but also feeds into islamist disinfo campaigns on how the West actively backs RSF.

When US firmly backs the UAE thus, it enables the RSF far more than it should. What US misses +

On May 6, Israel launched a 'limited' operation in #Rafah , much to the dismay of key allies.

European capitals and the US warned of 'red-lines' if Israel carried out a 'major' offensive.

Gradually, Israel violated all of them.

Hey, can anyone recommend a historian on Algeria or on France's colonisation of #Algeria ?

Any names welcomed.

What my colleague Deborah Cowen said!

Not only would they need to go through us first, they should by now realize that this university is its students and workers and staff and faculty and a significant number of us have each other’s backs despite the threats.

The The Globe and Mail's coverage of our letter urging Justin Trudeau to reject the 'false equivalency' Israeli talking point and instead take a principled stance of unwavering Canadian support for the ICC's work concerning the situation in Palestine. theglobeandmail.com/canada/article…

What is daily life like in Gaza? From starvation to displacement, Al Jazeera's Maram Humaid explains the living situation, and how it's worsened since the invasion of Rafah.

Open letter by Gaza academics and university administrators to the world:
'We call on our supporters to help us resist the Israeli campaign of scholasticide and rebuild our universities.'

375 law profs, lawyers, legal scholars, academics, civil society, faith & labour movement leaders & former diplomats and parliamentarians have written to Justin Trudeau calling on Canada to unambiguously support the ICC's work with respect to Palestine 🧵 alexneve.ca/blog/a-call-fo…

Zionists are RT-ing my tweets about Sudan to distract from what’s happening in Gaza. If your politics support genocide in Gaza, then they are sure as hell not welcome in discussions about Sudan. Liberation and decolonisation for all!!!!!!!!!!!!!

6/ Israel is a nuclear bomb. It generates destruction as it implodes, not as it explodes. The lies and fictions that underpin Israel, first and foremost that democracy and apartheid can support each other, are collapsing. Israel knows what it is and embraces itself. --->

I reiterated him the EU support to UNRWA praising its work & team.

MS resumed their financial support. The next tranche of EU funding is on its way.

We reject any attempt to label UNRWA as a terrorist organisation. It remains an indispensable life line to Palestinians.

2/2

Imagine comfortably and safely supporting an indefinite war that kills a record number of children and babies, then claiming you are the victim.

And wanting the rest of us to take that serious.

If any Sudanese or Congolese people or even Rawandans had this same mentality there would not be a country free of violence & hatred from the pain & sufferring we have witnessed in genocides. Its only a truly dangerous & callous person devoid of humanity that thinks this way...

Because Hamas is first and foremost a group rooted in Palestinian grievances and from a long history of Palestinian displacement and death at the hands of Israel.

It is the outcome of the occupation, not cause of the 'conflict.'

I can't understand how so many don't understand.

The greatest threat to the west has never been Russia or China, but itself.

If it fails so blatantly to abide by the rules-based order that it claims to uphold, then all pretext of customary norms whither away, for its partners, allies and enemies.

#Gaza #Rafah

All the intellectuals, journalists, think tankers who propagated false myths and perceptions 7 months ago hold an enormous amount of responsibility. Tend of thousands of dead children and tens of thousands still to come are being killed in the name of those myths and perceptions
