Please read this amazing essay by my dear friend Saher Safi, who discusses his childhood in Bureij Refugee Camp, Gaza, and the pain of now witnessing genocide. Saher worked for months on this essay, which was a difficult process for him. He ended up producing some exceptionally powerful writing.
I came to UK from Gaza seeking hope. Instead, I found complicity
After a lifetime under Israeli siege and shelling in Gaza, Saher Safi built a life of his own. He expected Israel’s cruelty, but not the UK’s indifference.

Everything the Israelis have used to justify genocide--schools as weapons depots, hospitals as Hamas bases, incinerated babies, the mass rape event--proved to be a straight-out lie. Don't even entertain the bullshit from here on out and just automatically disbelieve whatever they say, instead.

Israeli almost certainly killed hundreds like this. They are putting out stories now and then about small numbers to test how the public reacts so they can test the waters for when it all comes out.

It's true that bluesky isn't great for news and commentary about Palestine. Maybe it will get better, maybe it won't. But we have to keep trying because it's crucial to talk about Palestine precisely where it feels unwelcome.

The liberal administrators who spent the last 13 months siccing riot cops on students for daring to protest a genocide have been all too happy to help them do it.
Thinking about how thoroughly our soon to be even more powerful enemies want to destroy and dismantle higher ed. There’s no hiding from it or complying on this or that, right? I could never publish a book on CRT again (I will, don’t worry!) but it will never stop there. They want it ALL gone.
