In over 30 years of studying and engaging with communities affected by displacement, I have never seen a shocking atrocity like this. Multiple forced displacement of generations, compelled to be on the run.
Again and again.   The exodus continues.  The Israeli authorities continue to issue forced displacement orders also known as “evacuation orders”. This is forcing people in #Rafah to flee anywhere and everywhere.  Since the war began, most people in #Gaza have moved multiple times: on average once a month.  They desperately sought safety that they never found.  Some have no choice but to stay  in bombed out @UNRWA shelters.   The claim of “safe zones” is false and misleading.   No place is safe in #Gaza.  Period.

These photos are from today. Families and children, returning to @UNRWA schools in Khan Younis to seek "safety" and "shelter". The classrooms are torched. Walls are blown out. There is rubble everywhere. This situation is unfolding under the world's watch. Enough is enough.

Indeed, students everywhere are speaking the same language. They stand together & we embrace them. That’s the stuff of true education. Take responsibility, act on principle & stand tall. Awareness leads to action & change.

Jenks makes "the most embarrassing discovery that whatever may have been its ultimate use, the writ Habeas Corpus was originally intended not to get people out of prison but to put them in it." Hussain, 69.

This punishment… is a purely nonmediate form, purely performative, the purpose of which is the sheer manifestation of power itself. It is the form of violence that Walter Benjamin called "mythical violence." 2/2 #pt P.124.

Darian-Smith and Peter Fitzpatrick have correctly noted in Laws of the Postcolonial, whatever else one may say of human rights, there is little denying that they have become "the 'new' standard replacing civilization as the criterion for dividing and judging the world. " p.142.

“Never, never marry, my friend. Here's my advice to you: don't marry until you can tell yourself that you've done all you could, and until you've stopped loving the woman you've chosen, until you see her clearly, otherwise you'll be cruelly and irremediably mistaken.” P.28.
