My account of the Israeli attacks on #Gaza today.

The desensitisation to Palestinian suffering is horrifying.

Disabled people have been screaming about this for two years!

Journalists, mostly women, mostly racialized, are sent & named in violent racist homophobic misogynist screeds, with words like 'hit list' & 'silenced.' Some share them on this platform, increasing exposure & risk. Support those journalists+ thestar.com/opinion/public…

Let’s be clear: the word “woke” is just another word for Black. When people are talking about “wokeness”, they are talking about Black equality, Black dignity, and Black liberation. That is what they hate. They are anti-Black. It has always been about white supremacy and power.

🧵I recently saw a list of the best books on the so-called "Israeli-Palestinian conflict" compiled by a prominent academic. It didn't contain A SINGLE BOOK written by a Palestinian academic. This made me 😠 so here's a list of 10 great books by Palestinian academics you should📖:

“Our children, like all children around the world, are beautiful, innocent, and life loving.They like to eat cotton candy & blow balloons. When they see swings,they race to see who can get their first, and then make their way up high & embrace laughter.” In Gaza I Dare to Dream
