Just wanted to give a shout to @marinegueguin.bsky.social @kamrank.bsky.social , and @carlgibson.bsky.social for the great conversation we had on 'Rethinking the Pedagogies and Politics of “Terrorism”' at @leedsbeckett.bsky.social ! I had a great time and 1st visit to Leeds!

Excited to be joining @marinegueguin.bsky.social @kamrank.bsky.social @carlgibson.bsky.social at @leedsbeckett.bsky.social for a Roundtable on 'Rethinking the Pedagogies and Politics of “Terrorism” '! First time in Leeds :)

❤️ 🇵🇸

My two favourite boys in the whole world joined me, and 150,000 others in London today, to say no to genocide, to call for a just peace in Palestine, and for our government to act much more to uphold its obligations to Palestinians 🇵🇸

Wird die deutsche Regierung nun endlich aufhören diese Verbrechen gegen die Menschlichkeit aktiv zu unterstützen? Wird die deutsche Medienöffentlichkeit nun endlich ihrer Verantwortung gerecht? Oder wird letztlich jetzt die liberale internationale Ordnung völlig delegitimiert?

This talk was fantastic and it’s always a real pleasure to watch two true experts offer such clarity and depth of insight. Learned a lot from this. Thanks to Ardi Imseis and Nottingham’s own @victorkattan.bsky.social

The US just vetoed *another* UN Security Council resolution. It demanded "an immediate, unconditional and permanent ceasefire" & "immediate and unconditional release of all hostages." 14 voted in favor. 1—the US—opposed. This is the 4th UNSC ceasefire resolution US has vetoed.

The archive for future generations will consist of us looking at these images of extreme helplessness & humiliation. Our grandkids and their kids will demand proof of our humanity. Our complicity in the ongoing genocide and dehumanisation of our own is a shameful history being written by all of us.

Thoroughly enjoyed this discussion on the sociolinguistics (and historical trajectory) of the letter Qāf in spoken Jordanian Arabic…available in English translation too 7iber.com/society/%d9%...

A reminder that my talk with the fabulous Ardi Imseis is happening tomorrow! You can connect to the talk via the Teams link below at 1pm

Campus is looking cute at the University of Nottingham…but I do wonder how many students I’ll see in my 9am ‘Global Security’ seminar this morning 😌

Great to see opportunities for more Palestine-focused research, including this from the University of Toronto: Call for Applications Post-Doctoral Fellowship in Palestine Studies Application deadline: Jan 6, 2025 For details: palestinestudies.artsci.utoronto.ca/wp-content/u...

I’ve created a starter pack for those working on terrorism, counterterrorism, etc. let me know if you’d like to be added ! go.bsky.app/XNdPyw

Israel’s genocide against Palestinians in Gaza, the use of starvation as a weapon of war and apartheid in the West Bank. It still remains important that the obvious is stated by the UN, even as those continue to deny the grim realities for Palestinians. www.theguardian.com/world/2024/n...

A few words from me on the depressing state of things at our universities @aljazeera.com

Cannot recommend highly enough reading the latest edition of ‘Hollow Land’ and then following it up with Irit Katz’ recent book on camps.

A reading list of 15 articles, made open access by Journal of Palestine Studies. Articles provide historical context and analysis of the 17-year Israeli blockade of Gaza. #Polisky www.tandfonline.com/journals/rpa...

Shall start as I intend to go on: Gus stan account
