The idea that this horror in Gaza is somehow protecting Europe has to be one of the craziest Repeated here, promoted by a member of DE center for political education (!); logic-free, fact-free, ethics-free Displacing the earlier quasi deontological args used for disregarding human consequences

Nearest I have been: Cape coast (5°06′N 1°15′W)

Excited about the new panel formats introduced by @epssnet.bsky.social ! While academia has substantially innovated in research methods, publication formats, and business models, our approaches to conferences have remained relatively static. Glad to see thoughtful innovation addressing this gap.

#PoliSky #Poliskyjobs

this is an extraordinary opportunity for someone who wants to build up a serious program with research resources and opportunities to hire good people.

I hope this gets translated and printed in Germany @taz.de @vanessavu.bsky.social @freitag.de It is a brave and insightful piece and takes on issues that have paralysed Germany also

Israeli political scientist Lihi Ben Shitrit: "The more I learn about genocide, the more shocked and embarrassed I am by my own ignorance. Once I actively tried to be better informed about genocide, the picture in Gaza became terrifyingly clear." forward.com/opinion/7598...

Komplette BPK mit Experten zum Völkermord in Gaza & deutsche Unterstützung für Israels Kriegsführung www.youtube.com/watch?v=qwJ5...

At a time when a whole popn is being starved and civilians shot on a daily basis when seeking food, DE still cannot find moral clarity, still cannot find language to condemn Israel's abuses or take serious action with partners to force a stop to the barbarity www.bundesregierung.de/breg-de/aktu...

People in #Gaza, including UNRWA staff, are fainting due to starvation and severe hunger. People are dying from severe malnutrition. UNRWA alone has thousands of trucks in neighbouring countries waiting to enter Gaza – banned by Israeli Authorities from entering since March. Lift the siege.
