As a historian, & friend of Britain, I need to advise British commentators to desist from commenting on Ireland’s recognition of Palestine.

The crimes of the British Empire were some of the worst in history. Those in India, for instance, are unimaginable in their depravity.

This interview with Former ICC Chief Prosecutor Luis Moreno Ocampo is insanely good

When pressed on the question of investigating Israel for genocide, the former chief prosecutor said the charge of starvation is enough
to justify an arrest warrant.

👏👏👏

And there it is: Palestinian deaths and this genocide are profitable for the US. “Quick send more arms so our economy won’t suffer”

To the folks asking 'What if those IDF female captives were your daughters':

What if your closest friend who never hurt anyone was killed with a direct airstrike that split his head in 2?

What if your childhood friends are kidnapped at the 'Sde Tieman concentration camp',

Spanish Vice-President, Yolanda Díaz, on the recognition of the state of Palestine: “We can't stop here. Palestine will be free, from the river to the sea”

James Baldwin, 1980: 'The children are always ours every single one of them all over the globe; and I am beginning to suspect that whoever is incapable of recognizing this may be incapable of morality.'

The butterfly effect

'The butterfly effect is the sensitive dependence on initial conditions - the term is closely associated with the work of Edward Norton Lorenz #mathematicianoftheday #MOTD '

This is appalling. And it is even more appalling that so many academics are still staying silent.

Oof
'There are many reasons to treat each other

Good question.

The ⁦hfxgov⁩ has a moral and ethical responsibility to provide reparations to the African Nova Scotia community.

This has to happen.
