My last announcement on this corrupted platform. My obituary for @AgnesFlues - written jointly with Aoife Nolan (but the Guardian insists on single authorship, and Aoife graciously insisted that was me). You are so missed Agnes theguardian.com/politics/2024/…

Photos like this aren’t viral and don’t generate more outrage because of anti-Palestinian bigotry

In the dark and very cold weather! Ethnic cleansing in #NorthernGaza is still continuous!

A four-month-old baby died trying to cross the Channel last week and the Home Office is giving out little passports to fictional bears for cutesy content. Just a profoundly sick society.

The first images of the horrific massacre against innocent civilians: Israeli occupation aircraft completely destroyed a residential block using fire belts, targeting the homes of the Al Sharif, Hindi, Al Kalkhout, Dreewi, and Obeid families. The airstrikes resulted in the total…

Extremely difficult scenes: An Israeli drone targeted a child with live ammunition in one of the streets of northern Gaza. When citizens gathered to rescue and assist him, they were hit by a direct strike, turning them into scattered remains.

They lined them up to kill them one by one. They dug a ditch behind that tank to bury them. A death march. North Gaza is operating as a death camp; where an indigenous population has been concentrated into— to be exterminated. This is Srebrenica, Dachau, Sétif and Guelma; take…

Seriously what is going on?? Just look at this picture?! THESE ARE CIVILIANS!!!

It is unbelievable that this level of criminality can be filmed, that we all know, that the ICC is watching, that the US, Germany and Italy are supplying the arms, and that Israel just goes on killing and killing and killing. Humanity learned nothing from the holocaust.

Just when I think the horrors can’t get worse, Israel unleashes another atrocity: setting fire to tents at a hospital, burning displaced Palestinians alive, including patients still attached to IVs while they were sleeping. This is the cost of impunity and unchecked, genocidal…

1/ The Israeli/US imperial war machine is burning people alive in tents, in hospitals. We see these images & yet we are being controlled & quieted by talk of Zionists’ feelings. A fiction holding us hostage. Everyday, a video, a photograph of increasingly unimaginable horror…

TOMORROW 14 October 5.45 pm! Join the protest against @QMUL's shameful hosting of far-right Islamophobic hatemonger Koenraad Elst, invited by Hindu supremacist and notorious caste denialist Prakash Shah of @QMSchoolofLaw!

Queen Mary, University of London @QMUL @QMSchoolofLaw is hosting a debate on the question ‘‘Does Hinduism exist?’ The ‘debate’ format is convenient cover for two Hindutva affiliates to make use of the university’s power to legitimise their reactionary ideas. A thread🧵

… and some still saying “for the region not to spiral into war”. War is here. In the sounds we hear, the fumes we smell, the wounded, the dead, the displaced, the destroyed, the squeezed hearts, the tired eyes, the tight lips. It is everywhere. #Beirut #CeasefireNOW

@QMUL why are you hosting this notorious Islamophobe, inspiration for fascist mass murderer Anders Brevik? How long will you tolerate Prakash Shah's hatemongering, his caste denialism and platforming of the far-right? This endangers and insults your students, staff and community.

Concerning to see @QMUL @Prakash_London hosting this event with Koenraad Elst. eventbrite.co.uk/e/does-hinduis… More details about Elst here en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koenraad_… who is accused of peddling "the worst kind of Islamophobia imaginable". As for those Elst has influenced...
