My withdrawal statement from the Edinburgh Literary Festival.
A detailed and heartbreaking report on how Israel systematically destroyed Gaza’s bookstores, printing presses, and publishing houses. It turned centers of learning and knowledge production into ruins and ashes. Please share widely.
Israel destroyed Gaza’s printing presses, publishing houses, and bookstores. These were homes to memory, knowledge, and cultural continuity. Ink and manuscripts turned to ash. Presses were silenced mid-sentence. Report by Fatma Al Zahraa Sehwail: palestine-studies.org/en/node/1657550
Doctor Hussam Abu Safia is in critical condition.
⭕️ URGENT: Lawyer says detained Gaza doctor Hussam Abu Safia is in critical condition. The Kamal Adwan Hospital director has lost over 40kg in Israeli custody, was reportedly beaten in June, and is being denied medical care. He is being held in solitary confinement without…
Dr Al Sultan is estimated to be the 70th healthcare worker killed by Israeli attacks in the past 50 days – a profound loss to medical education and academic life in Gaza. So far, Israeli forces have killed over 221 university staff, with the number of detainees still unknown.
The genocide is a testing and marketing grounds for Israeli and international corporations. They have been making killer profits. The customers? Governments internationally. Workers can organise to shift from economies of war to economies of care. #stopArmingIsIsrael
Tieless organising by rank and file UNITE members pressured their union to back the call to Stop Arming Israel. Now we need to make sure the union implements its own policy.

'‘In the context of Palestine, the veneer of neutrality…helps to obscure institutional complicity in global systems of oppression, including colonial violence, capitalism and the military-industrial complex’ @RafeefZiadah journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/00…

See you tomorrow Belfast! Israel & allies are killing for the sake of it and the rest are watching as they incite perpetual war and drag humanity to annihilation! No one is free until Palestine is free and our people are allowed to live! Until then, keep on resisting!
Their talks are based on this forthcoming pamphlet with @VersoBooks, check it out! versobooks.com/en-gb/products…
Ziadah calls for an understanding of Palestine via understanding the pol economy of settler colonialism. The genocide can't be understood outside of capitalism & the Oslo process is a reflection of how the occupation is about pol economy/imperialism not 'peace' or 'conflict'.
Ziadah puts Israel's genocide in a longer view and explains how the false separation between politics & economics has allowed mainstream economists to perpetuate a very problematic (colonial) view of the Palestine-Israel 'conflict'.

Israel killed 74 Palestinians in Gaza today. 74 people. 74 human beings. The majority of whom were murdered near “aid” distribution points. All of them died hungry.
تحدثوا عن غزة. عن المجازر التي تُرتكب كل يوم تحت ذريعة "المساعدات". عن الإبادة المستمرة في وضح النهار. عن سياسة التجويع المُمنهجة، والإذلال الذي لا يرحم. عن نزوح لا نهاية له، عن قهر وألم يتجدد كل ساعة. #غزة_تباد
