Frustrated with how we argue about #democracy and #identity? Have a look at this free ebook I wrote. Apart from key concepts, it has links to songs, art & other works. Aims to be #decolonial & feature #historyfrombelow. library.latrobe.edu.au/ebureau/ebook.…
Support Noor in return for the courage and perseverance she shares with us all by helping her buy food. (These tweets with permission ofc) chuffed.org/project/help-a…
solidarity always and every day with @RandaAFattah and with all who are getting attacked in horrible ways for the fact of being Palestinian, or supporting Palestine. This is truly intolerable. We all must come together and act. Free Palestine, from the river to the sea
Solidarity to @RandaAFattah after the announcement that @arc_gov_au has suspended her research grant. Intolerable McCarthyism, facilitated by university leaders' spineless refusal to defend higher education and research from political interference by genocide supporters.
Two of my poems are in this anthology. If you order it, please use this link so that proceeds go directly to Palestinians keeping each other alive in Palestine:

Silencing Palestine: Universities Australia and the new definition of antisemitism overland.org.au/2025/03/silenc… via @overlandjournal Some thoughts from me about the UA definition of antisemitism being imposed on universities across the Australian continent.
Don't give up. We will not stop, we will not rest. #FreePalestine

We have a very difficult case of students from Gaza studying in Egypt. 5 students, brothers from one family.. Their family lost everything since the beginning of the war and stopped paying university fees due to lack of income.. These students include 3 in the Faculty of…
So disgraceful
Senator Sarah Henderson practically bragging that the investigation into @RandaAFattah’s Future Fellowship was a result of targeted political pressure coordinated at the highest levels of media and government. There is an unprecedented crackdown in Australia against students,…
1/ 🧵 The Murdoch media and some powerful groups want to bring down my colleague @RandaAFattah. Make no mistake, this is part of an organised and orchestrated campaign to destroy her career. Let me show you some of the incredible things she's written over the years. Let's…
Join us in this online interactive workshop all about the People's Inquiry into Campus Free Speech and how to write a submission. Where do you begin? What should you include? We'll discuss and answer all your questions. Keep your document tabs open. us06web.zoom.us/meeting/regist…
Faced or witnessed repression for speaking about Palestine at an Australian university? Censorship, intimidation and disciplinary action against students and staff have escalated. Universities claim to uphold free speech, but Palestine is the exception. palestineinquiry.com
Learn Arabic! Classes with teachers in Gaza start next week, primarily for people in so-called Australia but other time zones accommodated.
Another cracking episode of @MakdisiStreet. This one is relevant to academics in Oz. What is happening here is not just about @RandaAFattah or Sabsabi. If we are not allowed to address "the question of Palestine" openly and critically, nothing is safe. 1/
🚨 NEW EPISODE 🚨 "The minimum we owe is solidarity” w/ Asli Bâli The brothers welcome Aslı Bâli, MESA President and Professor of Law at Yale, to discuss the increasingly repressive academic climate in the United States over the question of Palestine.
In just over 24 hours, almost 400 people working in Australian universities signed this statement in support of @RandaAFattah and against political repression of anti-racist and pro-Palestinian scholars. Academics, if you haven’t already done so, please add your name here 👇🏽

where are the other people involved in cricket, particularly the other SEN commentators? when will they speak up against this ridiculousness?
The Australian government, media and universities are colluding to silence Palestinian voices, and shut down legitimate criticism of Israel's ongoing genocide, apartheid and illegal occupation of Palestine. Education Minister Jason Clare's interference in Dr @RandaAFattah's…
PLEASE SHARE Dr. Randa Abdel-Fattah is being targeted for her commitment to truth and justice. This is not just about one scholar—it’s about all of us. We stand with Randa. We stand for Palestine. We will not be silenced. #standwithranda
DEI was a pressure valve to ease racial tensions. A performance of progress and not a commitment to structural transformation. The backlash and rollback we are witnessing now is not a deviation from the script of American racial history but A RETURN TO ITS BASELINE.
The higher education sector is getting more disgraceful by the day. @RandaAFattah is indefatigable in her commitment to justice and liberating Palestine. She is a brilliant scholar and public intellectual. I stand with her
After nine months of sitting on his hands, Education Minister Jason Clare has bowed to Coalition demands to take action over @Macquarie_Uni academic, Dr Abdel-Fattah, whose anti-Israel activism is being supported by a taxpayer-funded $870,269 research grant. This is more…
