That "weaponising our pain" piece is so, so powerful.

"Every country was put on notice by the ICJ that there was a plausible risk of genocide in Gaza.. every country became obliged under the law.. not to speak fine words, to take action to prevent genocide.. that obligation was activated on 24th Jan 2024" Chris Sidoti spells it out

Last chance for those trying to keep us in suspense!

Trans people have been around your whole life. You’ve been sharing bathrooms with them your whole life. They’ve been in your communities your whole life. They’ve even been playing sport your whole life. And you didn’t care *at all* till a few years ago when every right wing org decided you should

Only 4️⃣ days left to submit to the 10th SWIP Ireland Conference on Ways of Knowing: Epistemologies & Pedagogies 📅 5–6 Dec 2025 📍Maynooth University 📝 Abstracts (max 300 words) due 1 Sept. 👉 www.swip-ireland.com/events #CFP #Philosophy

Israel is deliberately depriving people of water in #Gaza. The amount of water available for Palestinians is incredibly insufficient. This is unacceptable: www.doctorswithoutborders.ca/palestine-is...

Closing soon - CfA for the @swip-i.bsky.social conference on 'Ways of Knowing: Epistemologies and Pedagogies.' Abstracts from a range of disciplines most welcome & also papers which engage with the work of Professor Sandra Harding - join us in @maynoothuniversity.ie in Dec!

"Many Western journalists do not regard Palestinian journalists as colleagues and that’s why those reporting from Gaza can be killed by Israel with impunity." www.irishexaminer.com/news/spotlig...

There’s a public survey open for the general public to give input as to whether the Basic Income for the Arts scheme should continue. I implore you to take the 2 mins to fill out this survey and call for the BIA scheme to be continued and further developed. ec.europa.eu/eusurvey/run...

Israel planned this for decades, bit by bit, kompromat by kompromat, Friend of Israel by Friend of Israel donation. Lie and hasbara by lie and hasbara. They gambled that it would be too late to save thousands and thousands from their death. They were right. It is too late.

“Not all Jews are Zionists” - no “war” simply began on October 7th as Irish academics have claimed. Really thoughtful piece that will especially resonate with Irish families who have direct, lived experience of Nazi Germany www.irishexaminer.com/opinion/comm...

DO EVERYTHING YOU CAN TO GET FOOD AND WATER IN TO GAZA. This is from Lemkin Institute begging..... we are all begging.

The decision (to walk away) “in no way reflects a lack of commitment to climate action” I’m increasingly amazed by the neck of some PR people who will tell outright lies with a straight face. on.ft.com/4f7tqYm

There will come a day when everyone will have always been against this.

"There is no case since WW2 of starvation that has been so minutely designed and controlled" Famine expert Alex de Waal on Israel deliberately starving an entire civilian population

85% of Gaza’s population in the 5th stage of malnutrition “IPC Phase 5” - the most catastrophic and famine phase, where a large portion of the population is acutely malnourished, experiencing starvation and death. Forced starvation is an act of genocide.

'Palestine is a mirror held up to the world’s moral and political failures' - Francesca Albanese www.ohchr.org/en/press-rel... #gazaisstarving #gazagenocide

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.

“ 'I’ve been searching for something to feed my children but there is nothing.' Daily 🆘 messages are coming in from our starving UNRWA colleagues, every day. Food is available only a few kilometers away. Inaction is complicity and makes us lose our humanity." - UNRWA Commissioner-General

We are receiving desperate messages of starvation from #Gaza, including from our colleagues. Food prices have increased 40 fold. UNRWA has enough food for the entire population for over three months, stockpiled just outside Gaza. Lift the siege and let aid in safely and at scale.

This is really, really great, unsurprisingly.

Children in Gaza dying of thirst after trucks carrying water blocked - UNICEF

You’d think someone might ask why distributing aid in Gaza has proceeded like the opening twenty minutes of Saving Private Ryan, every day, for weeks. Is it normal to fire machine guns at starving civilians trying to collect flour? Because we are currently at one, two or three massacres *per day*.

This looks like a fantastic event on feminist epistemology from @swip-i.bsky.social, with some great keynotes - there's a CFA and CF for submissions to the Maria Baghramian Prize:

I just don't know how people see this and can be fine going on with things as they are. There's nothing that can justify the sheer cruelty of this.

My response to this terrible take by Kathy Sheridan. The main problem with our roads are not cyclists! The Irish Times ought to do better than publishing these opinion pieces.

Everyone should be sharing this story about the Amnesty International report because yes many of us have long acknowledged that it’s a genocide but there are still people who need the validation of a report from an org like Amnesty to believe it’s true zeteo.com/p/amnesty-co...
