In view of Trump’s National Security Strategy, I discuss the enduring legacy of race and racism in global politics for @foreignpolicy.com

In my latest for Al Jazeera English #AJOpinion I tackle the globality of xenophobia: From Washington to Copenhagen to Pretoria.

In this piece for @aljazeera.com #AJOpinion - in response to Trump’s 20-point Gaza plan - I present a “10-point plan for Israel”: aje.io/slic0q

❝ While the Trump “20-point Gaza peace plan” may bring a temporary respite for the Palestinians, it will not achieve peace. For this to happen, we also need a plan that makes demands of Israel and eliminates its genocidal drive. So here is a 10-point plan for Israel... ❞ — Somdeep Sen

Check out this recording of yesterday's discussion on Western states' recognition of the State of Palestine with @shahdhm.bsky.social @somdeepsen.bsky.social Lana Tatour and yours truly: twailr.com/recording-of... TL;DR: we are not excited.

The only good solution is the one that places Palestinian rights on centre stage and involves some mechanism of political leverage and censure that is able to curb Israel’s rogue-like conduct. Without it, any recognition of Palestinian statehood is an empty performance. @aljazeera.com #AJOpinion

This co-authored piece for our project led by Emmanuel Raju is forthcoming in Urban Geography. Super excited. It’s a new area of research for me and I’m glad we were able to put this out into the world.

The current international system, already on its last legs due to the West’s unconditional support for Israel’s genocidal war, won’t survive Trump 2.0. — writes Somdeep Sen for #AJOpinion ⤵️

Israeli occupation forces and settlers have killed 171 Palestinian children in the occupied West Bank over the past year. Settlers and soldiers act with total impunity. A daily reality of life under brutal Israeli occupation and apartheid. www.theguardian.com/world/2024/n...

Thank you to the editors for inviting me on for this amazing volume!

In Greece today it's the commemoration of the day the dictatorship (backed by the US and Israel) sent a tank crashing through the Polytechnic university gates to end a student occupation. This year the march is for Palestine and is going to both the US and Israeli embassies

The complicity of universities cannot be ignored. Some thoughts for @aljazeera.com a couple of months ago: www.aljazeera.com/opinions/202...
