What is SWAIL's relationship to #TWAIL?
Part II discusses intersections and divergences between the two approaches.
@pilabuda.bsky.social & Marek Wasiński reflect on the discomforts SWAIL may provoke and on what SWAIL can offer scholars and practitioners.

I am not a Hannah Arendt stan, but she nailed this one: 'Under such circumstances… the Palestinian Jews would degenerate into one of those small warrior tribes about whose possibilities and importance history has amply informed us since the days of Sparta.'
Sparta was an authoritarian state that suppressed all forms of cultural and political expression in order to brainwash its citizens into a life dedicated to war. Every year they carried out a murderous campaign against their slave population, the Helots, to keep them in place.

Why recognize the State of Palestine?
Isn't it pointless?
Mere symbolism?
Isn't the two-state solution an illusion?
Or even a trap?
Whatever your view, take a minute to read this speech by Palestine's Deputy Ambassador to the UN from June 30.

Leaving Berlin inspired and exhausted after the @esil-sedi.bsky.social conference. Highlights included superb workshops, hearing Francesca Albanese speak, presenting to a great audience, sharing meals and stories, and conference swim breaks.
