Dr. Hamdi Baroud, a prominent law professor and former Dean at Al-Azhar University's Faculty of Law, was detained by Israeli forces on 27 January. His body was discovered this week, bearing bullet wounds.

Israel's relentless assault on Palestinian education continues.

BRISMES has become a labour of love for us - Lewis Turner and I are running as joint-VPs of BRISMES, hoping to continue to carve out space for organising, working and thinking together, from and with the Middle East. Get in touch if you have any questions.

Hebrew University’s suspension of Palestinian professor Nadera Shalhoub-Kevorkian sends a chilling message to scholars worldwide. Silencing her undermines academic freedom and the broader struggle for human rights and dignity in Palestine and beyond.

It’s really heartening to see editorial statements like this. We need more academics, editors, academic societies, and journals speaking out about the violence of Israel’s war on Gaza and calling for a ceasefire.

BRISMES campaigns has sent letter to all VCs in UK asking them, inter alia, to 'Review all partnerships... with Israeli educational institutions, and end any relation that might be connected to ‘plausibly genocidal acts’ within the terms of the ICJ ruling.👇

When Israeli leaders right after October 7 spoke of 'flattening Gaza,' 'eliminating everything,' 'destruction like in Dresden and Hiroshima,' many people took it as hyperbole. Many others pleaded to take them seriously.

It looks like they were serious.

Israeli terror : The Israeli special troop invaded this early morning Ibn Sina (Avisina) hospital in Jenin disguised as Nurses, women, old men and one of as a patient in a wheelchair and executed 3 Palestinians who were getting treatment in the hospital violating humanitarian law

The day after @ICJ concluded that Israel is plausibly committing Genocide in Gaza, some states decided to defund UNRWA, collectively punishing millions of Palestinians at the most critical time, and most likely violating their obligations under the Genocide Convention.

The response to the ICJ should have been sanctions on Israel. Instead, Western donor countries have placed sanctions on Palestinians

Genuinely, I think this one of the darkest moments in the history of humanitarianism. This will have Rwanda-level implications for the aid world.
