MSF is outraged after an Israeli drone strike almost hit five of our Palestinian and international staff on their way home from Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis. As always, the Israeli authorities were notified about our movements and the vehicle was identifiable with an MSF logo.

My first journal article based on the PhD is out in @millennjournal: it traces the function of humanitarianism in shaping dispossession during the 1948 Nakba and reflects on similar strategies re-emerging amid genocide in Gaza. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/03…

@WardTrish looks at local aid consultants working in Jordan to think how racialized constructions of workers as ‘international’, ‘expat’, ‘national’, and ‘local’ organize the labor of contemporary humanitarianism. @MalayFiroz @pedrosrlima @AHN_EASA tinyurl.com/2uep6z67

We are excited to announce that Patchwork Ethnography will be released as a textbook in 2026. We hope the book will be useful for all of you!

"Every anthropologist who has ever called for “decolonizing anthropology” (as well as everyone else) should be actively invested in using their platform... to call for a free Palestine and an end to the Israeli occupation, ongoing for 76 years." americananthropologist.org/online-content…

A small group of activists has forced the fifth-largest bank in Europe to divest from Israel's largest weapons company. An inspiring tale if ever there was one!

BREAKING: Barclays latest reports show the bank no longer has ANY shares in Israel's biggest weapons producer, Elbit Systems. This follows a direct action campaign targeting the bank 54 times in one year, including a nationwide action against nearly 20 Barclays sites in a day.

This is abhorrent. It is disturbing to see Islamophobia casually on full display. The rise of hate crimes needs to be addressed and media cannot continue to allow it to have a platform to grow.
