🧵 A few thoughts on the plagiarism allegations involving Prof Jason Arday, inherent racism, and why due process matters.

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.

@andyburnham.bsky.social, it is not a good look when @amnestyuk.bsky.social sees the need to document human rights violations against, and the denial of freedom of speech of, those opposing genocide and crimes against humanity only 10 days into your tenure.

🚨BREAKING: More than 100 peaceful protestors have been arrested today under terror laws. Amnesty legal observers attended to document the arrests and any human rights violations.

The institution of the death penalty for “terrorists” in Israel is part and parcel of its genocide against Palestinians. According to members of the Knesset and the public, there are no Jewish terrorists, only Palestinian ones. 1/2
