I teach a course on anti-colonial archives. We read texts, recipes, poems, letters, memoirs. We watch films, listen to freedom songs. We talk about dreams, food, dust & soil as history. For centuries, millions of people on this earth have stood up for a world free of colonialism.
A tipping point has been reached. Gaza is now starving to death in front of the whole world. Those who facilitated and justified this abomination were given ample warning for 21 months. You have no excuses, and nowhere to hide: you will be held to account for what you've done.

They just suspended nearly 1 percent of the entire student body
columbia just suspended 80 students at once ranging from 1-3 year long suspensions & barnard hasn’t even released their sanctions yet. they have also been systematically targeting students by tripling tuition or removing our financial aid altogether w/ no explanation
The only action Western institutions have taken over the past 21 months is to suspend, expel and arrest people protesting Israel's horrific genocide.
This is on you and every other politician who has enabled Israel's genocide.
Civilians cannot be targets. Never. The images from Gaza are unbearable. The EU reiterates its call for the free, safe and swift flow of humanitarian aid. And for the full respect of international and humanitarian law. Civilians in Gaza have suffered too much, for too long.…
That is 600,000 people!
#BREAKING One-third of Gaza's population has not eaten in several days, WFP report shows
It is worth noting that, for some time, every production at Covent Garden was preceded by the Ukrainian national anthem.
After almost two years of genocide, the Palestinian flag is finally displayed on the stage of the Royal Ballet & Opera. It is deeply symbolic & shameful that Oliver Mears then attempts to forcibly remove it. This brave performer is showing us what the sector can & should be.

The sum total of the British government’s response to an ongoing genocide has been to designate Palestine Action a terrorist organisation

An astonishing scandal. They were denied food. Then when they went to get food. They were shot for getting the food.

This is devastating. Over a hundred BBC staff have signed a letter declaring they've been forced to do PR for Israel. Just the latest chapter in the biggest scandal of Western journalism of our time owenjones.news/p/bbc-staff-we…
In Britain it is now terrorism to spray red paint on a plane. That same plane used to dismember children is not terrorism. This is where we are.
It only takes some 200 years for the BBC to report on a genocide Britain was involved in

It's been said many times by many people: given a choice between fighting the left or the right, too many liberals will always choose the former, and at any cost - including liberalism itself falling apart in the process.
This has got astonishingly little traction. This really is the United Nations telling the UK not to designate Palestine Action as a terrorist organisation.
Independent experts today urged the UK 🇬🇧 not to ban the “direct action” group @Pal_action as a terrorist organisation under the Terrorism Act 2000. “Acts of protest that damage property, but are not intended to kill or injure people, should not be treated as #terrorism.”
It shouldn't be shocking anymore but the choice made by the British media to justify and cover up a brutal genocide every single day is sickening. Who in this country - from the media to universities - has not been complicit in this most horrific of crimes?
