Given the manufactured financial crisis in universities, the Labour goverment can instantly save at least £471 million by cancelling the intellectually impoverishing, destructive, and ridiculously time-consuming REF @bphillipsonMP

Zionist reactions to Shoshana’s post illustrate her point. In response to her criticizing how Zionist schools dehumanize Palestinians, they dehumanize and pathologize her (“liar, Nazi, Kapo, need therapy”). Zionism is racist, sanist, and anti-intellectual against diasporic Jews.

When I heard about the IOF opening fire on Palestinians getting food aid, my immediate reaction was, "That sounds exactly like something Israel would do," because I was sent to Zionist schools for 15 years and learned from the inside how these people think and act.

Why is it so hard for people to recognize Israel's violence in Gaza as genocide? Robin DG Kelley points us back to 1948, when the UN failed to identify colonialism as genocidal. Against this "colonizer's justice," South Africa's #ICJ case is a redemptive act. 🧵1/14

Then stop arming Israel, impose a two-way arms embargo, and refund UNRWA. Fck Canada.

The civilians in Rafah are people— they are mothers, children. They have names, stories— and they exist. Asking them to move again is unacceptable. They have nowhere to go. We need a hostage deal, for more humanitarian aid to enter Gaza and we need a sustainable ceasefire.

Hundreds of thousands of us are nauseated, sickened, angered & broken by what is happening in #RafahMassacre . Failed by all our governments & strutting politicians capable of nothing other than glutinous hypocrisy & poisonous double-standards. I really don't know where we go.
