Taking fascist actions against colleagues and students who denounce genocide. It is THE BEST indication of their abandonment of our mission, followed by their embrace fascist “AI” tech. Their active support for fascism should be the top story everywhere. breachmedia.ca/canadian-uni...
Canadian universities set up a secret network to crack down on student Palestine demonstrators ⋆ The Breach
Universities in Canada coordinated to spy on and violently clear student encampments. Then, they deleted the evidence

🐦🚨NEW: UofT Economics is offering a course on "Israeli Economy" taught by a Ben Gurion University in the Neguev visiting professor this fall. The course seeks to ask: "How can one small country teach us about the world's biggest economic questions? 🧵1/
Like apartheid Israel, apartheid South Africa used propaganda tours to influence public opinion in Canada. Print ad in the @theglobeandmail.com, September 4, 1986.
I invite you to examine the course description for this offering at the U of T: "ECO251 - Special Topics in Economics: Israeli Economy." This is shilling for Israel.
Note at the bottom of the poster: “No previous knowledge of Israel required.” Is this a prerequisite @wtfis2bdone.bsky.social @isisnaucratis.bsky.social ?

Dr. Ruth Marshall is still kicking against the pricks@wtfis2bdone.bsky.social · 6d agoHuge props to @breachmedia.ca! We’ve known this since they tried to sack us for participating in the encampment. It’s been a constant violation of academic freedom, freedom of speech, procedural fairness and doubling down on the Palestine exception.
Look: My dear employer UofT, which waited till the very last minute to divest from South African apartheid back in the days, features prominently in that edifying profile. Plus ça change... 🤡
Nathan Kalman-Lamb@nkalamb.bsky.social · 6d agoNew reporting from @breachmedia.ca shows that Canadian universities operated a secret national effort to coordinate surveillance and policing of anti-genocide activism and encampments. breachmedia.ca/canadian-uni...
Very à propos given the IOF just attacked the UNESCO site that is the Crusader-period Beaufort Castle in Lebanon. Will @unesco.bsky.social name the perpetrator this time?
Everyday Orientalism@eorientalism.bsky.social · 5d ago"I don't think the [UNESCO] protection list did protect any site in Palestine for example, or anywhere else, especially when Israel is involved & the USA are involved". Yesterday's destruction of Beaufort Castle by the IOF proves Nelly Abboud, MA right. Full convo: www.spreaker.com/episode/arch...

Working Class History @workingclasshistory.com · last wk.#OtD 29 Jul 1962 fascist Oswald Mosley tried to march with the Union Movement in Manchester, UK. However, he was attacked by anti-fascists and had to be rescued by police. A Mosley speech later was drowned out by a crowd of anti-fascists. More info: www.patreon.com/posts/e37b-6...
Palestine comes from the most memorable of these "imaginary" Sea Peoples. The Pleshet, source of the Bible's Philistines, the northern branch was named Palstin in 11th-century BCE Luwian, the southern called Palashtu in Assyrian around 800 BCE and Palaistínē by Herodotus. My introduction to this:

I couldn't agree more: I write about this in the 1st chapter of my upcoming book (a deep dive into the history of the pre-Hellenistic NW Nile Delta). We know of many types of movements incl. also mercenaries, merchants, and refugees. Classicists need to burst their cozy, myopic bubble for good!
Seth L. Sanders@nabalkattu.bsky.social · last wk.The Egyptian, Ugaritic, and Hittite sources all mention maritime raiders around this time as part of the collapse of Late Bronze Age empires. Egyptian and Hittite sources mention some of the same population groups including the Lukka, an Anatolian population that participated in raids on both.
I am struck by how most of the colleagues who are loud and proud about their take on Nolan's "Odyssey" have remained completely quiet on Israel's genocide, ecocide + annihilation of heritage in Palestine and Lebanon. Neither to they connect the two topics. What does it say about our fields?
🚨 ARCHAEOLOGY APARTHEID AND WAR A must listen convo w @archagainstaparth.bsky.social + Lebanese archaeologist Nelly P. Abboud
Everyday Orientalism@eorientalism.bsky.social · last wk.🎙️🌟NEW EO Podcast episode out! For episode 4, we chat with Nelly P.

4. It's less fine to waste your expensive diverse cast by terrible screen-writing, giving them zero convincing characterization or attempt to make us care about the relationships, and tokenism.
Politicians who are genuinely committed to universal human rights don’t pose for all smiles photos with representatives of countries carrying out crimes against humanity. Shame @naheednenshi.bsky.social.
Just LOOK at these abject ghouls clowning for the genocidaires. 🤡 😭 Eternal SHAME. It is PAST TIME FOR A TOTAL BOYCOTT and SANCTIONS.
