❝ While the Trump “20-point Gaza peace plan” may bring a temporary respite for the Palestinians, it will not achieve peace. For this to happen, we also need a plan that makes demands of Israel and eliminates its genocidal drive. So here is a 10-point plan for Israel... ❞

Check out this recording of yesterday's discussion on Western states' recognition of the State of Palestine with @shahdhm.bsky.social @somdeepsen.bsky.social Lana Tatour and yours truly: twailr.com/recording-of... TL;DR: we are not excited.
Panel: Interrogating the Politics of Palestinian State Recognition
Panel discussion on what a Palestinian national liberation movement might tactically salvage and repurpose from conditional recognition of a Palestinian state almost two years into a genocide.

The only good solution is the one that places Palestinian rights on centre stage and involves some mechanism of political leverage and censure that is able to curb Israel’s rogue-like conduct. Without it, any recognition of Palestinian statehood is an empty performance. @aljazeera.com #AJOpinion
Western bids to recognise a Palestinian state put Israel first
If recognition is to matter, it must centre on Palestinian self-determination, not Israel’s security.

This co-authored piece for our project led by Emmanuel Raju is forthcoming in Urban Geography. Super excited. It’s a new area of research for me and I’m glad we were able to put this out into the world.

Why did Superman join ICE? In my latest for #AJOpinion @aljazeera.com I argue "Dean Cain’s leap from TV hero to immigration enforcer captures America’s embrace of fear as patriotism".

Superman’s new job at ICE is the perfect American plot twist
Dean Cain’s leap from TV hero to immigration enforcer captures America’s embrace of fear as patriotism.

Israel’s narrative cannot survive the truth, so it’s silencing the world
As Israel kills tens of thousands, its defenders go after anyone who dares to speak out.

A few words on Zohran Mamdani’s important fight for New York @aljazeera.com #AJOpinion
Zohran Mamdani’s mayoral bid is bigger than New York
Amid a global rightward shift, Mamdani’s progressive campaign offers a rare blueprint for the left to win.

"A precedent has been set. Every international student in America today must accept that they may be abducted, detained and deported for attending a protest or expressing a view that upsets the White House or its allies."

United States is no longer a safe destination for international students
Abductions, deportations and fear define campus life for many foreign students in Trump’s America.
