We see several dimensions of the knowledge politics of violence at play here. For one, the public display of killing journalists, as @argohdes.bsky.social has mentioned, for everyone to see. At the same time, on the ground reporting on atrocities is made virtually impossible 1/
argohdes.bsky.social Anita Gohdes @argohdes.bsky.social · Aug 11
I have studied the targeting of journalists for many years, but the scale and public display of these killings is truly shocking: “Israel admits deliberate attack on the journalist, known for frontline coverage, in a strike on a tent outside al-Shifa hospital“

So pleased to see this letter from MPs in support of students in Gaza with offers at UK universities. It's been signed by over 100 MPs and is a real cross-party effort. I hope now that Starmer will respond to our requests.

Students who win the chance to attend our world class universities need that future protected whereever they come from - proud to stand with my colleagues lead by Abtisam Mohamed in speaking up for how we can make that happen even amid the horrors of what is happening in Gaza.

And it's almost certainly an undercount
www.bbc.com/news/live/cd...
This comes as seven more deaths from malnutrition have been recorded in the past 24 hours by hospitals in Gaza, according to the Hamas-run Ministry of Health. It brings the total number of deaths caused by malnutrition to 154, including 89 children. On Tuesday, the number of Palestinians killed since the war began on 7 October 2023 surpassed 60,000, according to the Hamas-run Ministry of Health. Its numbers are considered reliable by the United Nations and international institutions. The figures mean that the war has left around one in 10 of Gaza’s 2.1 million Palestinians killed, injured or missing.
