'We aim to contribute positively to the national conversation on Palestine, create spaces for learning about Palestine and the interconnected issues it engenders, & break down barriers that have surrounded this vital topic.' new on @ppesydney.bsky.social www.ppesydney.net/the-politica...

Immensely flattered (and shocked!) to have my upcoming work cited in this important report from @franceskalbs.bsky.social, in the context of de-risking warzones for capital

A UN report names companies complicit in Israel’s war and genocide on Gaza, including US giants and firms from China to Mexico. Who are they? aje.io/6sq25k

This morning I walked in on Shams giving an early, critical review of my upcoming book Making War Safe for Capitalism. All paws are on deck for second proofs!

‘If we accept that “comfort” is paramount, how are we as educators supposed to challenge dogma, critique hegemony, and dissect privilege in our classes? We won’t be able to and that is exactly the intent.’ overland.org.au/2025/06/whos...

Proofs just dropped!

What is the political economy of fascism and the labour process in *Andor*? @therealelliotde.bsky.social delivers the insights! @chrishesketh.bsky.social

Wrote this little piece on Andor (season 1) for @ppesydney.bsky.social - arguing that the greatness of Andor is not only the revolutionary politics, but the exploration of the Empire's political economy of fascism, and what it tells us about our own galaxy www.ppesydney.net/andor-trump-...

A war crime. Deliberate targeting and murder of aid workers, which was then covered up. The depravity continues. Loud and sustained protest must also

“Partisans of Israel, infuriated that scholarship on Palestine had found a place at Columbia, once named it ‘Bir Zeit on the Hudson’. But if it any longer merits the name of a university, it should be called Vichy on the Hudson.” Rashid Khalidi www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Columbia Law School has perhaps the strongest public law faculty in the country. This is what they think of the recent Title VI demand letter sent to their university: balkin.blogspot.com/2025/03/a-ti...

Thank you @morton.bsky.social and @ppesydney.bsky.social !!

Australia is a very racist country, and our public institutions have been a large reason for the growing level of racism in the past few years. www.theguardian.com/artanddesign...

The Gaza Municipality has told Al Jazeera that 75% of water wells and more than 100,000 linear metres of water networks have been damaged due to Israeli attacks. 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.io/jgxs7w

The last photo of Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, detained after refusing to abandon his colleagues and patients. In just one image, we see both the power of Palestinian humanity and the moral weakness of all those complicit in genocide. End all arms sales to Israel, now.

At least 15 bodies were recovered by Gaza's civil defence, killed in an overnight Israeli strike on the Sheikh Radwan area. The strike hit a home that housed about 40 displaced Palestinians. 🔴 LIVE updates ⤵️ aje.io/7zkxmc

Published this with AIIA analysing the World Bank's increased interventions into conflict - by comparing their responses to Ukraine & Gaza. The Bank must address the politics of peace or be complicit in perpetuating war www.internationalaffairs.org.au/australianou...
