Heard this on Today this morning. No context provided, no numbers, just Daily Mail-style fear-mongering. Homophobic, racist and designed to shore up the BBC's 'credentials' with the Reform and Reform-inclined, who will still think the BBC is a left-wing propaganda outlet regardless. Pathetic.
No country routinely abuses the memory of the Holocaust more than Israel. No other country has used the murder of six million Jews to silence opposition to an ongoing genocide. Obscene, immoral, deranged. It genuinely sickens me
When Zionists say "oh so and so isn't really Palestinian because they were born in x/only one of their parents is Palestinian", this fragmentation of Palestinian identity is by design, and is the way that many settler colonies police and dilute indigineity and commit genocide by 'breeding out'.
This thread is worth reading in full, as it reveals the cognitive dissonance and leg-breaking mental gymnastics that liberal zionists have to go through in order to maintain their "Israel is just a normal country on a slightly wrong path" mythology.
Look, I get that this is important on some levels, but he's been told again and again that the problem isn't just Netanyahu, and yet he persists in framing it in this way. 65% of Israeli Jews believe "there are no innocents in Gaza". 90% support bombing Iran. This is a feature, not a bug.
"Jewish anti-Zionists know what it is like being a Jew opposed to Zionism, but they don’t always know what it is like to oppose Zionism from other points of view". Just one of many thought-provoking insights from Steve Salaita when he spoke at Queen Mary last week - stevesalaita.com/existence-an...
I once took a road trip with this one special group of friends to Taybeh, where one of my friends is from. We spent a few days there some 15 years ago, and to date it remains one of my most cherished memories.
Israel is detonating it all.
This is a punishable war crimes under international law.
Most of the world have been judging the US for its coups, wars and genocides for decades and centuries. Mayor Pete doing peak liberalism.
The conceit that Trump is exceptional and most of the world hasn't been judging the US since at least as far back as this guy is just the chef's kiss of peak liberalism.
Absolutely electrifying to witness this in the room tonight, but equally as electrifying to read. @stevesalaita.bsky.social on the liberating joy of anti-colonial violence, the price of true allyship, and much more.
Israel and the US are bombing everyone in Iran, including its Jews.
Disgraceful!
The US/Israel just bombed Sharif University in Tehran. This is not only Iran's best university, but also a top 100 global university in the field of Civil Engineering.
It has also been a center of student opposition to the Iranian gov
And Trump just bombed it...
The fuckers are wearing noose pins

HEPI lost credibility when it silenced Palestinian students it had asked to contribute to its Gaza encampments report last year. Now it produces a report that ignores everything that's been happening to US colleges for the past 18 months. Puffery and complicity dressed up as strategy.

From a friend in Beirut this morning, who in the last few days has seen several Israel missile strikes within walking distance of their home.
Asian wealth has become a significant driver of that expansion. About a quarter of the 2,270-plus foundations set up in the UAE have Asian ownership, according to Yann Mrazek, managing partner at Dubai-based wealth advisory firm M/HQ. Asia accounted for 47% of all multinational companies attracted by the Dubai International Chamber in 2025, according to a statement by the entity. Firms from Tokyo-based Nomura Holdings Inc., as well as DBS Group Holdings Ltd., and Oversea-Chinese Banking Corp. - Singapore’s two largest lenders - have expanded their operations in Dubai to cater to rising demand from the wealthy. The war is now forcing a reassessment for many Asian families. “It’s definitely a wake-up call,” said Felix Lai, principal of Hong Kong-based multi-family office JMS Group. “People might need to rethink their decision to move to the Middle East with their family and money, though it is too early to make a decision.”
Secondary effects. Asia's investors reconsidering investments in the UAE.

An image of Tehran during daytime, submerged in thick black smoke from oil refineries that have been bombed by the US and Israel.
Daytime in Tehran. Thick black smoke and no daylight because the US and Israel bombed the oil refineries. Acid rain is now falling on a city of 14 million. As ever I have no words for this depravity that goes by the name of Western civilisation.
Domestic abusers, rapists and other violent misogynists famously never have female partners and daughters.

There are a minority of good people in War Studies at Kings, but jfc we really need to talk about that place as a manufacturer of consent for imperial violence.

Israeli map showing all of southern Lebanon in red with yellow arrows pointing to north of the Litani river
The IDF just ordered the *entirety of south Lebanon* to be forcibly displaced.
They are emptying the land of its population, creating a massive crisis, and will now proceed to further annihilate large parts of Lebanon.
The very nation state of Lebanon is being destroyed.
It's really hard to celebrate Jewish festivals when this is what genocidal war-mongering Zionists do with them. Happy Purim 🤮
