Big turnout today in London

Crowds of people in London for a rally for Palestine. Many are carrying Palestinian flags. In the background, the tower of Big Ben stands golden in the evening light.

London, today 💪🇵🇸
We've been protesting for fourteen months and we will keep protesting for as long as it takes.

Congratulations Sarah!!! 🥳🎉

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

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

The definitional debate has been truly solved

12, which wasn’t nearly as bad as feared (and a good discussion on defining terrorism!)

This looks way better than my 9am seminar 😌

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:

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.

Bleak reading, Somdeep. While not quite as bad in the UK at the moment, you can sense things tightening further across our institutions

Genocide rages on, but it’s business as usual at the neoliberal university In the new academic year, US university leaders appear even more determined to stifle pro-Palestinian speech and action.

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

What a great idea!! ☺️

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.
