Madrid: Thousands demostrating against the Israeli team’s participation in Spain’s cycling ride They have torn down the barriers and the stage has been suspended The Genocide Convention obligates to prevent and punish The states are not doing it, the people are demanding it

Looking forward to this conference on "Resistance, Refusal, Survival: Contesting Hostile Environments” in St Gallen with a really cool line-up www.unisg.ch/de/universit...

Israel has normalised killing journalists, like it normalised killing medical workers, like it normalised destroying hospitals and schools, like it normalised killing the equivalent of a classroom of children per day. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...

Rashid Khalidi is a brilliant critical theorist and historian, and an exceptional colleague and friend at Columbia. His course this summer @nssrnews.bsky.social at the Institute for Critical Social Inquiry was so important to our students. This is a great loss: www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

‘We urge all states to fulfill their responsibilities under international law: demand & enforce a permanent ceasefire, an arms embargo, the immediate withdrawal of Israeli troops, unimpeded distribution of humanitarian aid, equality & self-determination for all Palestinians. End the genocide now.’

“People in Gaza are neither dead nor alive, they are walking corpses”: a colleague in #Gaza told me this morning. Meanwhile, according to UNRWA latest findings: one in every five children is malnourished in Gaza City as cases increase every day. —Philippe Lazzarini www.unrwa.org/newsroom/off...

"[D]ehumanizing the enemy ... as the embodiment of absolute evil poses a direct threat to the fundamental values of democratic states." From the latest issue of Critical Times, @hypatiabeauvoir.bsky.social on grievability and the figure of the terrorist: read.dukeupress.edu/critical-tim...

Gaza is being deliberately starved to death in front of the whole world, and the only people being arrested over it are those who opposed the crime.

The Israeli Authorities are starving civilians in #Gaza. Among them are 1 million children. Lift the siege: allow UNRWA to bring in food and medicines.

Wie in Berlin so in Bern: „Es ist nicht neu, dass Debatten über Palästina unterdrückt werden. Schockierend ist, dass dies mitten im gewalt­tätigsten Krieg geschieht, den Israel je gegen die Palästinenser geführt hat.“ www.republik.ch/2025/07/03/c...

"Statelessness is not abstract. It is a condition that touches every part of daily life. [..] It means growing up knowing that systems are not built for you. And that no one is coming to fix it." slate.com/news-and-pol...

The normalization of killing Palestinians has been ongoing but this murderous “humanitarianism” is something new. I can’t recall a situation where people seeking aid risk getting shot en masse daily from the people —the Israelis— providing the “aid.”

An important message and appeal from Rashid Khalidi, IPS-USA President and Board Chairman. For over 60 years, IPS has been the leading institution for independent Palestinian research and publishing. Our essential work needs your support. palestine-studies.networkforgood.com/projects/254...

read.dukeupress.edu/critical-tim... 🧵In the wake of the ongoing genocide in Gaza we have seen multiple examples of politicians and the media using the label of terrorism to justify the mass starvation,

One day, everyone will acknowledge the Gaza genocide, and it will be regarded as justified. We are in the age of justified genocide. Our governments will, in the best case,mourn the "suffering" of Palestinians while insisting it is necessary. This is much worse than what Omar El Akkad describes...

Join us tonight for a public lecture at the New School with Rashid Khalidi, titled "Britain, Ireland, and Palestine," this evening at 5pm at the auditorium at the New School at 66 West 12th Street in NYC. Event and RSVP here: event.newschool.edu/rashidkhalid...

“Palestinians are not abstract victims of an abstract war. Too often, words have been used to justify the unjustifiable, deny the undeniable, defend the indefensible. Too often, the right words have been eradicated, along with those who might have written them.“ www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m...

staging a show-and-tell about a fake genocide during a real genocide to the government that has done the most to seek justice for that real genocide is designed to break our brains. They know what they are doing. www.cnn.com/2025/05/21/w...

Por qué los países europeos están obligados a adoptar un embargo integral de armas frente al genocidio israelí en Gaza www.eldiario.es/129_bbea98?u...

The scale of death, destruction, starvation and forced displacement inflicted by Israel upon the Palestinians in Gaza leaves one speechless. If the countless reports, testimonies, and imagery coming out of Gaza have not been enough to move our governments to intervene decisively, what will?

❗Diez lecciones que nos deja Pepe Mujica www.eldiario.es/internaciona...

“While States debate terminology - is it or is it not genocide? - Israel continues its relentless destruction of life in Gaza … This situation conveys a deadly message: Palestinian lives are dispensable, and international law, if unenforced, is meaningless.“

ANÁLISIS | Europa mantiene sus alianzas con Israel sin entender que Palestina define el mundo, por @olgarodriguezfr.bsky.social www.eldiario.es/internaciona...

Gaza lies in ruins - its people killed, starved, displaced. Yet Germany refuses to engage with the charge of genocide against Israel. My latest essay on why this silence will have lasting political effects open.substack.com/pub/hannohau...

"We are starving the children of Gaza, because if we don't do something about it we are complicit in what is happening before our very eyes. (...) We are causing this, you, us and everyone who does nothing about it. (...) We have to stop it. (....) This is an abomination." youtu.be/hZ_ejB_NNXk?...

This is specifically about universities. It is very important to see how fascists and authoritarians in other countries have attacked them. And to think, as Gessen does here, about constructive responses. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/21/o...

Undokumentierte Immigrantinnen, die sich nicht mehr aus dem Haus trauen. Aktivisten, die versuchen, Abschiebungen zu verhindern. Eine abgeschottete Grenze. Ein Museum der Propaganda. Und eine Gefängnisindustrie, die boomt. Hier ist meine erste längere Reportage aus diesem Jahr. @woz.ch

Looking forward to an exciting workshop on democratic projects this Friday in St. Gallen. If you’r around, come by! Organized by Matthias Flatscher, @christineabbt.bsky.social, @olivermarchart.bsky.social, and myself! www.unisg.ch/de/universit...

I'm not sure which video to post--the fifteen paramedics in their last moments as one of them prays amid gunfire, the journalist being burned alive, the man holding a headless toddler, the people blown into the air, or the young man quietly rocking the shrouded body of a child. It's a genocide.

Also, the White House posted this on Instagram today.

My colleague Rashid Khalidi: "We are approaching the status of Chilean universities under Pinochet, where on the orders of an authoritarian government, ideas and books were banned, students were expelled and arrested, departments were taken over & faculty fired." www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

‘We have failed to prevent genocide’ – Francesca Albanese www.channel4.com/news/we-have...

"The language that is being used has a specific resonance, which, historically, has been used to change regime type. It is important that the rights of human beings were violated. It is important that the rule of law was ignored. It is important that the executive is trying to define reality."

“Dentro de varias décadas nos haremos la misma pregunta que nos hacemos hoy, cuando vemos un documental sobre el ascenso del nazismo y la Segunda Guerra Mundial ¿Cómo fue posible que tanta gente siguiese hasta la tumba a charlatanes como Trump, Musk o Milei?”

Jews say NO to ethnic cleansing! We’re proud to see so many members of the JVP Rabbinical Council represented among the 350 rabbis who took out this full-page ad in the New York Times today, using their voices in this moment to oppose Trump’s plans for the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians in Gaza.

Se han descubierto dos fosas comunes en Libia que contenían los cadáveres de un número aún imprecisado de migrantes. Otra recordatorio del infierno que Libia representa para los migrantes que intentan atravesar su territorio en busca de un futuro mejor.

“In this animated documentary short, Wynter calls on us to rethink the very notion of what it is to be human. A film by Marcela Pizarro, Stefania Sottile and Pomona Pictures. Voices: scholar, Dr. Sophia Azeb and Greta Mendez, dancer.” www.aljazeera.com/amp/program/...

Masha Gessen on the rather short window of refusal … and its own unique rationalities. (gift so everyone can read it)

Judith Butler on Trump‘s sadism and the fascist passions animating it www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Trump’s remarks about Gaza are not just grotesque in their indifference to the ongoing annihilation of Palestinian lives, but a chillingly outcome of the systematic dehumanization that Netanyahu’s government has been engaged in for months.
