It's alarming how many people need to hear this: racism is not the natural and inevitable response to the presence of (the wrong number of) racialised Others. It is a learned response, and as such it is contestable and replaceable.
This is anti-racism 101. Entry level stuff.

Why do institutions keep giving white men who fail upwards a platform? Responsible for the ill management of the 2012 Olympics security contract with G4S, the junior doctors strike, supporter of weapon sales to Saudi Arabia and their attacks on Yemen - Jeremy Hunt himself is a danger to the world

All this discussion about what language is ok to use in opposition to a genocide and IDF is out here shooting people for wanting to eat
IDF soldiers are telling the press they feel like the Nazis targeting the Jews
And you're worried about a phrase? A PHRASE? fuck you guys

My husband was nearly killed trying to get aid from the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation
Hundreds of Palestinians have been killed trying to get desperately needed food from the US- and Israeli-backed organisation’s distribution centres.
“The sky was full of buzzing drones. I saw a young man fall to the ground near me. Blood was gushing from his neck."

On LBC @zoejardiniere.bsky.social lists 3 previous instances where military aircraft have been targeted by campaigners in order to prevent them being used in war crimes, and she describes the govt banning Palestine Action as terrorists as an abuse of state power.
Well said.

Maybe ask your former boss to let your trucks in. Nate Mook, former CEO of WCK now sits on the board of the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation aka the militarised and privatised and already failed “humanitarian” initiative by the US and Israel which is really a surveillance mechanism.

Maybe they should ask Nate Mook former CEO of WCK who now sits on the board of the GHF to let them do their job.

A bit disappointing that the guests talk about “non-traditional” donors when talking about non-western donors and mentions “illegal migration”. We should question these categories rather than reinforce them, especially if the objective is to refocus aid towards global solidarity

It doesn’t just happen “over there”. Een gezellige Hollandse man die je gewoon “eventjes hé” laat weten dat hij precies weet waar je woont en bent geweest. Geen “rotte appel” zoals de politie je graag laat denken, maar een trend

The irony of calling for dialogue while not acknowledging the silent protest that is happening sums up the violent erasure very well. And then the bizarre analogy to the elephant. Was she referring to the elephant in the room?? Please make it make sense

Started the year with some glorious sunsets and good company (my own and the dog). Have done a lot of thinking about all the papers that I am planning to write this year. Now I “only” need to write them.
