New up by me in European Journal of International Relations: IR theory, history and retrieval in a time of genocide Free to read here: journals.sagepub.com/doi/epub/10.... Tldr: IR should stop being so self-referential and think about Palestine more

For those who can vote, BRISMES Council elections are open. There are some really great candidates. And then there's me (lols?). The good news is that if you're a BRISMES member you can vote for four candidates, so away you go! www.brismes.ac.uk/elections

In 942 days Israel has killed 363 journalists across Gaza, the West Bank, Lebanon, Yemen, Iran and Syria. That’s roughly one journalist killed every three days across 5 countries. stopmurderingjournalists.com

No-one should have to decide if what they're wearing makes them a target. But this statement is a lie. If you're brown you have to make these decisions. If you're a woman you have to make these decisions. If you're gender non-conforming you have to make these decisions. Stop exceptionalising Jews.

A shout-out to anyone who might want to review or is in a position to commission a review of my forthcoming book, called A Family in Fragments: Race, Zionism and the Retrieval of Liberated Futures. More details below! 👇

A wonderful former student of mine has just spent a month in the Jordan Valley where the Israeli State is constructing ANOTHER wall to cut it off from the rest of the West Bank. She's just returned to the UK and put all of her on-the-ground updates here substack.com/@emma1618/no...

Lols these are the best folks they can get to stump up for Zionism these days

Heard this on Today this morning. No context provided, no numbers, just Daily Mail-style fear-mongering. Homophobic, racist and designed to shore up the BBC's 'credentials' with the Reform and Reform-inclined, who will still think the BBC is a left-wing propaganda outlet regardless. Pathetic.

No country routinely abuses the memory of the Holocaust more than Israel. No other country has used the murder of six million Jews to silence opposition to an ongoing genocide. Obscene, immoral, deranged. It genuinely sickens me

When Zionists say "oh so and so isn't really Palestinian because they were born in x/only one of their parents is Palestinian", this fragmentation of Palestinian identity is by design, and is the way that many settler colonies police and dilute indigineity and commit genocide by 'breeding out'.

This thread is worth reading in full, as it reveals the cognitive dissonance and leg-breaking mental gymnastics that liberal zionists have to go through in order to maintain their "Israel is just a normal country on a slightly wrong path" mythology.

Look, I get that this is important on some levels, but he's been told again and again that the problem isn't just Netanyahu, and yet he persists in framing it in this way. 65% of Israeli Jews believe "there are no innocents in Gaza". 90% support bombing Iran. This is a feature, not a bug.

"Jewish anti-Zionists know what it is like being a Jew opposed to Zionism, but they don’t always know what it is like to oppose Zionism from other points of view". Just one of many thought-provoking insights from Steve Salaita when he spoke at Queen Mary last week - stevesalaita.com/existence-an...

I once took a road trip with this one special group of friends to Taybeh, where one of my friends is from. We spent a few days there some 15 years ago, and to date it remains one of my most cherished memories. Israel is detonating it all. This is a punishable war crimes under international law.

The conceit that Trump is exceptional and most of the world hasn't been judging the US since at least as far back as this guy is just the chef's kiss of peak liberalism.

Absolutely electrifying to witness this in the room tonight, but equally as electrifying to read. @stevesalaita.bsky.social on the liberating joy of anti-colonial violence, the price of true allyship, and much more.

Israel and the US are bombing everyone in Iran, including its Jews.

Disgraceful! The US/Israel just bombed Sharif University in Tehran. This is not only Iran's best university, but also a top 100 global university in the field of Civil Engineering. It has also been a center of student opposition to the Iranian gov And Trump just bombed it...

The fuckers are wearing noose pins

Please spend some time with this incredibly moving website containing the obituaries of 84 Gazan scholars who were killed during the genocide. The list is still growing as the builders of the website continue to collect information and testimonies. Share it widely: rememberinggazascholars.org

HEPI lost credibility when it silenced Palestinian students it had asked to contribute to its Gaza encampments report last year. Now it produces a report that ignores everything that's been happening to US colleges for the past 18 months. Puffery and complicity dressed up as strategy.

From a friend in Beirut this morning, who in the last few days has seen several Israel missile strikes within walking distance of their home.

Secondary effects. Asia's investors reconsidering investments in the UAE. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Daytime in Tehran. Thick black smoke and no daylight because the US and Israel bombed the oil refineries. Acid rain is now falling on a city of 14 million. As ever I have no words for this depravity that goes by the name of Western civilisation.

Domestic abusers, rapists and other violent misogynists famously never have female partners and daughters.

There are a minority of good people in War Studies at Kings, but jfc we really need to talk about that place as a manufacturer of consent for imperial violence.

"Sinwarification"

The IDF just ordered the *entirety of south Lebanon* to be forcibly displaced. They are emptying the land of its population, creating a massive crisis, and will now proceed to further annihilate large parts of Lebanon. The very nation state of Lebanon is being destroyed.

It's really hard to celebrate Jewish festivals when this is what genocidal war-mongering Zionists do with them. Happy Purim 🤮

All this bs about freedom and democracy. Let's not forget that last time they bombed the trans wing of a prison.

‘Woman, Life, Freedom,’ they said.

I was privileged to be able to attend the launch of the European Legal Support Centre's Index of Repression today. It holds 964 cases of repression of pro-Palestine speech/action since 2019, just the tip of the iceberg. The index is very user friendly - www.index-of-repression.org/uk/platform

Man i love liberalism. So utterly incoherent

Media coverage of Gaza has plummeted. So today on @thenation.com, we're doing something pretty special: we're only running pieces by people in and from Gaza. We're calling it "A Day for Gaza." You can find links to all of the incredible pieces here. Please read! www.thenation.com/article/worl...

Ha'aretz reports that the Israeli State now accepts the Gaza Ministry of Health mortality figures (an undercount) that their own spokespeople have been uniformly denying and slandering for over two years.

This is a plan to attract a rump population desperate enough to submit to 24/7 biometric surveillance, while everyone else will be left to flee or die in the hellscape that will continue to be the rest of Gaza. It suits Israel perfectly. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

"I’ll add right up front that nobody sane now thinks the answer to abuses at Dachau was to give the guards more training." Excellent piece

A brilliant analysis of how sanctions have transformed the Iranian government into a Chicago School regime of austerity that benefits those attached to the regime, creates precarious labour, and rolls back all the redistributive and social measures of the past: www.nplusonemag.com/online-only/...
