My op-ed in @IndianExpress today on the Orwellian debasement of language, the complete inversion of meaning in the continuing nightmare in Gaza The Orwellian nightmare in Gaza indianexpress.com/article/opinio… via @IndianExpress
Kristdemokrater har vid flera tillfällen träffat bosättare och haft möten med högerextrema israeliska politiker. dn.se/sverige/trots-…
Warum? Weil Israel und solche Leute wie Michael Roth Israel zu dem "jüdischen Staat" verklärt und viel Verständnis für seine Verbrechen gegen Völkerrecht und Menschlichkeit geäussert haben. Jetzt glauben Viele wirklich, dass dieses unglaublich grausame rassistische israelische…
Warum werden queere Jüdinnen und Juden wegen der Politik der israelischen Regierung bedroht, ausgegrenzt, gedisst? Dieser Mangel an Solidarität und Empathie in der queeren Community ist furchtbar. 🏳️🌈 juedische-allgemeine.de/?p=2545975 via @JuedischeOnline
The images from Gaza are unbearable. No, not random clips, whose provenance and accuracy are questionable — but what’s in the professional press. Meanwhile, a thoughtful, conservative Israeli journalist whom I admire told me recently, Yes, the starvation is real. People, often…
Had a great conversation with my friend and colleague @mattduss about war and peace in the Middle East.
War or Peace? Negar Mortazavi speaks to @mattduss about Trump’s Middle East policy, Israel and U.S. attacks on Iran and the 12-day war, and prospects for nuclear diplomacy between Tehran and Washington. open.spotify.com/show/4zlwE2FMy…
For years, advocates of strikes essentially argued that, because weaponization was easy, diplomacy could not be trusted to prevent Iran from proliferating. Now the same folks are arguing the exact opposite point. (9/n)
Unbelievable. So much for academic freedom. If it’s only a buzz word and disappears when put to the test it’s not much of a freedom.
“The level of repression that we’re seeing is related to the shift in the narrative, and the loss of control over that narrative.” theguardian.com/education/2025…
"It bothers me that people compare ICE to the Nazis. Anyway, we are just following orders."
EU’s @kajakallas says there’s been “some good signs” in aid access to Gaza. But for NRC and many others, no relief has entered for 142 days. Not one truck. Not one delivery. For the few actors allowed to bring in limited supplies, the UN reports that from 19 May to 14 July, an…

A Dutch town read the names of all the dead connected with the Gaza conflict. The naming of the Israeli victims of Hamas's October 7 attack took 30 minutes. Reciting the Gaza dead took 110 hours. aljazeera.com/video/newsfeed…
As we were covering this story, my team & I were attacked by Israeli settlers. The back window of our vehicle was smashed, but we managed to escape unharmed. This is just a sliver of the reality many Palestinians face in the West Bank amid rising settler violence.
The NYU student paper documents a yearslong relationship between NYU and the Academic Engagement Network, “a pro-Israel organization affiliated with the Heritage Foundation and other right-wing groups.” nyunews.com/2025/07/14/new…
The structural racism in the German police force is astounding. Wildly beating up protesters against German’y complicity with Israel’s obvious self-declared crimes, then when they break their hands against the skulls of protesters, claim it’s they that have been beaten up.
NEW: Police Violence and Misinformation at the Nakba Day Protest, Berlin When an officer was 'severely injured' at a Berlin demonstration in May, police blamed 'violent perpetrators' in the crowd. New video evidence shows every claim made by the @polizeiberlin was not true.

Kära sverigevänner! 🫶🇸🇪❤️ Rörelsens intellektuella maximum H. Jönsson ponerar att invandrare är "antagonistiskt inställda" till Sverige och vill er illa bara för att ni är svenskar. 😔 Henke har förstås rätt. Men, det är min snälldag så jag bjuder här på 10 överlevnadstips:
A ceasefire is not enough. The Israeli military’s weaponisation of aid and starvation to displace and destroy Palestinian society will not stop as long as Israel controls aid distribution. Our new analysis shows how Israel has imposed a deadly aid system through GHF ration…
🔴 After finding #Israel in breach of the 🇪🇺-🇮🇱 Association Agreement (and doing nothing, despite obligations under the #Genocide convention), pressure to #SuspendTheDeal is mounting ahead of EU foreign ministers July 15 meeting How did we get here, why, and what’s next? 🧵 1/11
