"We’re monitoring what you do online. Disseminating, writing, or publishing inciting content online is considered a terrorist crime in every sense and may lead to arrest or imprisonment. We have warned you." Israel warns Palestinians that posting about their suffering will be considered terrorism.

My department will surely feel the need to invite a few of these people to talk in the interests of history and colleagiality.

Sionistes chrétiens et archéologues sionistes se retrouveront en janvier pour un pseudo-colloque qui "validera" l'expropriation du site archéologique de Sebastia, en Cisjordanie, pour en faire un parc d'agrément pour les colons.

Can someone tell U.Prague faculty Martin Janovsky he is too much of a social media newbie to try to troll me anonymously for writing on the publicly documented complicity of his ArielU excavation partners Itzikh Shai + Aharon Tavger w ethnic cleansing, including the theft of Sebastia? 1/

🚨The program of the upcoming conference on Jerusalem & "Samaria" (that is, Sebastia) co-organized by illegal-settlement-based ArielU faculty Itzikh Shai w USA Christian Zionists, is now out. The event coincides with the Zionist State's attempted ethnic cleansing and theft of Silwan and Sebastia 1/

“Belgium has formally joined the case launched by South Africa at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) alleging Israel is committing genocide in the Gaza Strip.”

🐦🔎The University of British Columbia hosts talk on excavation conducted next to Israeli torture camp: Megiddo is the site of one of the largest torture camps for Palestinians; the dig is right next to the prison sparrows4palestine.substack.com/p/ubc-hosts-...

Starmer's Labour government deems it in the UK's national interest to have Israeli arms firms build weapons for the genocide in the UK and arrest thousands of pensioners in solidarity with Palestine Action under terrorism law, so unfortunately Teuta and 7 other kids have to die.

MYTH “The Palestinians are not Indigenous to the Land so they have no claim to it” by Matthew Ong and Nicolina Gallo everydayorientalism.wordpress.com/2024/09/18/m...

Sending you into the weekend with a new two-part pedagogy piece on Teaching Orientalism, from @girishdaswani.bsky.social and @isisnaucratis.bsky.social:

🤡

L'American society of overseas research (ASOR) cautionne les méthodes d'archéologues sionistes qui ont mis leur discipline au service d'une politique d'expulsion des Palestiniens.

Aharon Tavger, colon illégal (il pose mitraillette à la main devant les ruines vandalisées de Sébastia), a été invité au banquet annuel de l'ASOR, société d'archéologie des USA, au titre de sa participation à l' « Administration civile de Judée-Samarie » 🤡

Ρίξτε μια ματια στο βιντεάκι (τρια λεπτά είναι)

Did you know that 115 of the speakers and poster authors at ASOR's 2025 annual meeting were affiliated with Israeli institutions? More fun stats here 👇 #boycottasor everydayorientalism.wordpress.com/.../archaeol...

I don’t know what to even say

As archaeologists we can often feel detached from contemporary politics and powerless to act when we see wrongdoing but we are not and we should not sit back. Here are some clear steps that can be taken to try to halt the theft of Sebastia. everydayorientalism.wordpress.com/2025/12/16/i...

I love my two blackout drunk Minnesota sons

I gave 20 years before they were digging through the graveyard of Gaza once before. Now I give it much less before universities are hosting talks on the digs.

My sense is that the “male loneliness crisis” is not really about addressing men’s emotional needs but rather the relatively newfound absence of having someone to perform domestic labor for you quietly in the background now that there is a longer gap between your mother and your wife doing it

🚨ARCHAEOLOGY X ETHNIC CLEANSING: More illegal initiatives from ASOR's friends at illegal-settlement-based ArielU. Make no mistake: This conference aims to justify Israel's theft of East Jerusalem & Sebastia. It was advertised recently by one of the ASOR 2025 speakers featured in yesterday's EO post👇

@girishdaswani.bsky.social and I wrote a 2-part post on Teaching Orientalism for @culanth.bsky.social's blog. Here is Part 1: www.culanth.org/fieldsights/...

What can ASOR’s recent annual meeting tell us regarding its Zionist, and anti-Palestinian, agenda? To answer this question, I did one of the things I love doing: I dissected the program and crunched data. Here are some key findings. everydayorientalism.wordpress.com/2025/12/17/a...

The Magdala Stone was excavated in the area of the Palestinian village of al-Majdal, which was ethnically cleansed during the Nakba. Today, only ruins and an old shrine of Muhammad al-’Ajami remain. Pic credit + more info: www.palquest.org/en/place/168...

🏺call to action!

Is ASOR, an organization I grew up with as a biblical studies scholar, helping steal the West Bank? 1) it has 26 affiliated projects in Israel and an affiliated research centre in East Jerusalem but supports 0 projects in Palestine 2) it has far-right settlers conduct tours of Palestinian "Samaria"

There is an absolute fucking scandal going down at The New School, wherein at appears that the university is funnelling to a MEMBER OF THE SCHOOL’S BOARD while purging faculty and staff. This should be headline news. x.com/uaw7902/stat...

We will remember Dec 6 1989 and the lives of these folks cut short because of hatred for humans marked as female/feminine

it’s weird to have people — students, colleagues, randoms — tell me that genAI is inevitable so why bother helping people understand how bad it is. like are you not fighting or shouting about, I dunno, climate change? fascism? do you not understand how genAI is aligned with both? get a fucking clue
