Incredible news today that Sisi pardoned Alaa Abdel Fattah, Egypt's most prominent political prisoner who has been imprisoned more or less continuously since 2014. He should be released once Sisi’s decision is published in the Official Gazette www.hrw.org/news/2025/09...

a criminal complaint was filed against numerous German politicians today by several NGOs for abetting genocide in Gaza – and as far as I can tell it was entirely ignored by German media elsc.support/the-time-for...

On Saturday I'm part of an ESIL Special Panel on Academic Freedom and the Discourse on International Law. What the Berlin mayor is foing here is a direct infringement of academic freedom! I expect of @freieuniversitaet.bsky.social to forcefully reject all calls to cancel the UN Special Rapporteur!

Riot police have been deployed to the Istanbul headquarters of Turkey's main opposition and roads around the building blocked as party members rally there against a court's suspension of its local leadership in what they see as the 'judiciary being used as a political weapon'.

13 deaths in Gaza due to starvation in the last 24 hours, including 3 children flip.it/kAmW3B

Es hat zu lange gedauert. Immerhin hat René Pfister jetzt zu etwa 10 Prozent verstanden, was das Problem ist. Der Rest des Artikels bleibt bei der üblichen Zurückweisung von Kritik an Israel. Wie bitter, dass erst so viele Menschen sterben und Gaza zerstört werden musste. archive.is/ZGsO0#select...

After 20 months of field research, I recognise several officers who regularly show extremely aggressive behaviour. I'm sure they're also known within their own districts. That they keep getting sent to protests creates the impression that these violations are strategically deployed as a deterrent.

In a statement on 18 Aug - 22 months into Israel's onslaught on Gaza - the presidents of @humboldt-foundation.de and @daadworldwide.bsky.social said: "We stand in unwavering solidarity with the state of Israel, its people, and its science." Here's our response:

Biden's WH aided and abetted Stage 1 of Gaza genocide: siege, displacement, killing of at least 50k people (over 80% of them civilians), and obliteration of infrastructure. The Trump WH has aided and abetted Stage 2: starvation, mass destruction of Palestinian cities, preparation for expulsion.

The IPC data on famine in Gaza is utterly horrifying. Don't look away. www.ipcinfo.org/ipcinfo-webs...

More than half a million people in Gaza are trapped in famine, marked by widespread starvation, destitution & preventable deaths, according to a new @theipcinfo.bsky.social analysis released today. Read the full release: www.who.int/news/item/22...

Es regt sich der erwartbare Widerstand. Volkerrechtler, Kant-Fans und Hobby-Nahostexperten überbieten sich gerade in ihren wohl bekannten Framings der Sache, wohlgemerkt zu einem Zeitpunkt der "peak-Siedlergewalt im Westjordanland und eines und Genozids in Gaza uppsaladeclaration.se/germany/

Ein brillanter, langer Text von Per Leo über den Theoretiker Bashir Bashir und seine deutschen Kritiker wie Tania Martini, deren Haltung er treffend beschreibt: „Hellwaches politisches Bewusstsein trifft hier auf ein Ressentiment, das nur moralisieren kann, weil ihm die Mittel zum Denken fehlen."

In case you've been wondering about the moral and intellectual crisis in Holocaust studies, here's exhibit A. It also illustrates why we felt the need to found the Genocide and Holocaust Studies Crisis Network: www.ghscn.org/home

Gleich zwei Abgeordnete ( @leali.bsky.social & @luiseamtsberg.bsky.social ) haben das Auswärtige Amt nach der Quelle für seine bereits widerlegte Behauptung befragt, die Hamas beschlagnahme 50–100 % der Hilfslieferungen in Gaza. Eine ernsthafte Antwort erhielten sie nicht. Lügen ohne Konsequenzen...

The Israeli finance minister announces "We conquer, cleanse, and stay... On the way, we annihilate everything that still remains.….We're breaking Gaza apart, leaving it as a pile of rubble, total unprecedented destruction." And the Democratic Party leadership still supports arming this government.

For many years now, the EU said that building in E1 is the Rubicon that Israel must not cross. (You would have thought that starving over 200 people to death was such a Rubicon. Horrifyingly - it isn't) Well, let's see if they mean what they said all those years.

Sehr schön, dass Adam Shatz in seinem Beitrag "Berlin Diary" noch einmal kurz Bezug nimmt auf den bescheuerten Artikel von Julian Weber in der @taz.de vom Mai dieses Jahres: www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...

‘The crisis of attention is not ancillary to the genocide in Gaza. It is one of its conditions. What enables mass death is not only the West’s impunity and the enabling structures of empire. It is also the slow hollowing out of the foundations of moral and political engagement.’

11 died of starvation in Gaza yesterday. Israel has starved to death more than 100 human beings since 20 of July 2025.

4 people died today of starvation in Gaza. 201 died of famine since October 7 2023 Half of them - in the last 21 days. h/t @nirhasson.bsky.social on X

German media discourse: talk of leaving "exposed remains" of Gaza "to the forces of nature",Palestinians having "national-socialist roots", participating in gross is-this-child-really-starving debates and a piece on Pro-Palestine protests from the point of view of the violent police. All in one day

Today, five Palestinians died in Gaza after being starved to death by Israel. via @nirhasson.bsky.social

Tobias Huch hat den 'Ruhrbaronen' gestern dann noch ein ausführliches Interview gegeben wo er sein rassistisches Geraune über angebliche Gendefekte in Gaza weiter ausbreitet. Zur Erinnerung: Dieser „Blog“ hat die Documenta-Debatte mit entfacht – und wurde sogar im Documenta-Abschlussbericht zitiert.

This settler murdered activist and journalist Awdah Hathaleen today in Umm al-Kheir, Masafer Yatta. I've visited the village many times over the past years and met Awdah as the kind and courageous person he was. They are killing colleagues and friends in broad daylight - with near-total impunity.

Israelische Menschenrechtsorganisationen gehen ein großes Risiko ein und bezeichnen die Situation nun offiziell als Völkermord. Zeit, dass auch deutsche Politiker*innen in Führungspositionen diesen Mut aufbringen.

My courageous colleagues are organizing this event, happening tomorrow (July 28) evening at 9pm Israel/Palestine time: "The Starvation of #Gaza - Emergency Discussion". Join via Zoom: tau-ac-il.zoom.us/j/87333259462

Like Turks with the Armenian Genocide: "Never happened and they were asking for it anyway."

Ich weiß, ich nerve Sie nur noch, @carlomasala1.bsky.social, und wir haben alle Besseres zu tun, aber ich wäre Ihnen wirklich dankbar, wenn Sie hier noch einmal konkret zu Stellung nehmen könnten und nicht wie vorher immer so ausweichend antworten würden.

Stopping the starvation of Sudan would require military intervention, delivering a vast amount of food across contested space, and rebuilding a shattered state. That’s true of almost every forced famine the world has faced. Stopping the imposed starvation of Gaza would require a phone call.

The ICJ, ICC failed to stop the genocide in Gaza. The EU has stood by. European countries (inc. UK) facilitated and provided Israel with weapons. A handful of countries recalled their diplomatic representatives in Israel (Turkey, Columbia, Chile, South Africa). No real sanctions. Absolute shame.

"In Gaza breitet sich eine Massenhungersnot aus und unsere Kolleg*innen und die Menschen, denen wir helfen, siechen dahin." Ein offener Brief von @medico2.bsky.social und mehr als 100 anderen Organisationen, die in Gaza aktiv sind. Es ist eine Schande! www.medico.de/presse/2025/...

Dieser Artikel... Das Sprechen über palästinensische Menschen und Lebensrealität ist in Deutschland so politisiert, instrumentalisiert & problematisiert, dass sie oftmals nicht als eigenständige, selbstwirksame, resiliente Menschen mit Rechten und Würde gezeigt werden. Sondern als Proxy zu Israel.

#Versammlungsfreiheit 15 Mnt nach dem Palästina-Kongress in Berlin hat ein britisch-palästinensischer Arzt vor Gericht feststellen lassen, dass ein verhängtes politisches #Betätigungsverbot rechtswidrig war. Das Verwaltungsgericht entschied, dass Abu-Sittah zu Unrecht die Teilnahme verboten wurde.

A big thank you to @dirkmoses.bsky.social for being with us at Uni Bremen yesterday to deliver his inspiring lecture "How Genocide Became Distinguished from Genocidal Warfare". For those who could not attend in person, here is the video of the event: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hr5-...

📢 For those in Bremen, join us! Thursday 10th 5pm UniGW2 At a time when even mentioning the word genocide in an academic discussion immediately creates tension, I can't help but emphasize how important this opportunity is. Big thanks to @dirkmoses.bsky.social Please share it with your students 🙌

Genocide in Gaza, ethnic cleansing of Palestinians, and remaking of Israel into a Kahanist republic: this is the hegemonic political project in Israel, and it will not disappear even if there's a cease fire or new elections. It won't stop unless it is named, confronted and defeated.

This ideology's complex-laden obsession with symbolic conquest doesn't cease to produce the most absurd initiatives... www.agos.com.tr/tr/yazi/3511...
