How Israel's relentless killing of over 1000 Palestinians in Gaza since October 2025 can be called a "ceasefire" is beyond me- its brainwashing. Aljazeera noted: Israel attacked Gaza on 325 of the past 361 days, leaving only 36 days with no reported attacks, deaths or injuries.

The UK government needs to get its narrative straight. Either those protesting Israel’s genocide against Palestinians and our government’s involvement are right, or they aren’t. You can’t have it both ways while continuing to arrest protesters and designate them as terrorists.

BREAKING: 94 year old Jewish human rights barrister, Margaret Owen arrested under the Terrorism Act outside Andy Burnham’s Labour Party conference. UK taxpayers are funding these arrests while masked men terrorise the streets in coastal towns. Lift The Ban on Palestine Action.

It is abhorrent to see a génocidaire take the UN stage to give a pathetic speech celebrating Israel’s genocide against Palestinians, occupation and settler violence, blowing up Lebanese with beepers, unlawfully attacking Iran and calling the IDF the most moral army in the world. The Hague is waiting

Jason Arday was killed by a lynch mob whose harassment drove him to death. He was made killable by an institution that exploited him to fix its structural racism, then failed its duty of care. Justice must be served, and those responsible held accountable. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Also where does this idea come from that Palestinians should face their colonisers and genociders defencelessly. Why would a group disarm if there is not a parallel plan to build a defence force. In a situation like this, state pacifism is not an option. It would be suicidal.

How come politicians believe that Hamas can put down weapons while (a) Israel is asked to withdraw stepwise (i.e., can refuse to do so at any point) and (b) there are no real protections in place that would guarantee sovereignty (i.e.,push Israeli forces back should they advance)

The unleashed racism in (social) media over the Arday case is horrendous. It has nothing to do with the case itself. Rather the latter is abused to voice white supremacist ideologies without filter and with self-righteousness. It is dangerous. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Raz Segal lost job offer from University of Minnesota to lead Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies for stating that Israel commits genocide in Gaza. Apparently, anti-Zionist, anti-racism, and anti-colonial views aren't in the interest of genocide studies. www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

The glee of the right over the Arday case is indicative of how unsafe academia is for Black scholars and of an attempt to erode whatever fragile safety still exists. They are having a field day while many on the left once again find what is happening too complicated to have a view.

Kosova's UÇK would never have handed in its weapons had Serbian forces remained on the ground. Weapons were handed over AFTER Serbian forces left + Thaçi had signed an agreement w NATO guaranteeing security. The expectations for the demilitarisation of Hamas are vastly different.

Some people here are writing that Israel is about to colonise Gaza. Israel is a settler-colonial state that has always colonised Palestine. What we are seeing now is a continuation of the ethnic cleansing of and genocide against Palestinians across all of Palestine.

There are different ways in which Israel carries out the death penalty. In Dr Hussam Safia's case, they are torturing him to death while withholding vital medical care. His crime: providing medical care to his Palestinian patients. This is part of Israel's genocidal playbook.
