India is modelling its assault on Pakistan on Israel’s aggression in Palestine, testing the world’s tolerance for Hindu nationalist militarism and the erasure of international law - @azadessa.bsky.social
The western media, like India’s media, are framing India’s attack as a response to Pahalgam.That India is run by an authoritarian, anti-Muslim, Hindu right wing govt with expansionist ambitions, which has military/diplomatically supported Israel’s genocide is not seen as relevant
Malcolm in Gaza. Coming soon.
‘Let’s replicate the genocide’
On the grotesque response from Indian politicians and media elites to the attack in Pahalgam.
1. Dehumanization of Kashmiris, Muslims and Pakistanis
2. A call for no red lines/a final solution
3. The reinforcement of a Hindu imagination over Kashmir

I have been receiving some messages asking for book recommendations on Kashmir. Here is a fantastic list compiled by Stand With Kashmir -- a diaspora-led group which seeks to raise awareness about the occupation. Check out their site for more resources. standwithkashmir.org/books-films-on
The largest.
Grateful to @azadessa.bsky.social for publishing my comments on how there’s no such thing as academic freedom in this time of genocide

How my support for Palestine made me a ‘traitor’ to India” - a stunning reflection by an Indian American on the opposition she faced from her community over her participation in the pro-Palestine encampments at Harvard. azadessa.substack.com/p/how-my-suppo…
Grateful to @azadessa.bsky.social and the Middle East Eye team for covering the insanity at Princeton and its ongoing prejudicial witch hunt of pro-Palestine students www.middleeasteye.net/news/how-pri...
India plans on building “the highest train station” in the world in Kashmir. Delhi says it’s about economic growth & development. Kashmiris know it means land dispossession, ecocide and forcing integration with India.
A burning press truck
Say their names: Fadi Hassouna, Ibrahim Al-Sheikh Ali, Mohammed Al-Ladah
Faisal Abu Al-Qumsan and Ayman Al-Jadi. On Christmas Night, US-backed-Israel murdered 5 journalists, bring the number to an even 200 journalists killed in the genocide. They were killed in a broadcast van at Al Awda hospital.
New Delhi says the project will improve infrastructure and benefit the local economy. But Kashmiris know what the rail network is really about: land dispossession, ecocide and further integration with India.

When it comes to racism, xenophobia and moral panics, there is very little separating the mainstream Indian media from their right wing counterparts in the US.

Democrats & establishment Muslims spent the last year gaslighting Muslims, Arabs & Palestinians as Biden/Kamala funded a genocide. Now they talk about “holding each other” tightly and fighting back against Trump as if they aren’t architects of murderer, deportation, nepotism and racism themselves.
It’s been a month since Shaban al-Dalou was burned alive inside a refugee camp in central Gaza following an Israeli airstrike.
Never forget what Israel has done to the people of Gaza.

Absolutely horrific scenes emerging from Gaza as Israeli forces kill several Palestinians seeking food supplies.
Disturbing images from the scene show victims’ blood mixed with flour on the floor.
