When I was under 1, my dad was arrested in the UK. As was the standard procedure, he had the beating of his life and was left on a cell floor to reflect on the errors of his ways. He got 3 years in a max security jail. One of the men arrested with him died on hunger strike.

I have a new article out today in Public Humanities, where I try to find some words for how historicide is (and has always been) a project of European colonialism - and I try to find some words for the historians who continue to support it. 🇵🇸✊🏻

The moral compass of many (white) archaeologists was clearly lost already a while ago (if they even had it). The President of the EAA also signed a support letter for Isr*el in April 2024, after the killing of 34,535 Palestin*ans and injuring 77,704, destroying hospitals/universities, etc.

Given the EAA has gone back on excluding Israeli institutions from the conference - and is also trying to prevent @archagainstaparth.bsky.social from protesting in their sessions - it’s time to walk away until they can find their moral compass. blacktrowelcollective.wordpress.com/2025/09/02/b...

April 15 SkySat imagery from @planet.com shows Tell Ali Muntar, an archeological site already damaged last year, has been further damaged/turned into an IDF staging area with berms. A nearby cemetery has also been damaged.
This is part of the IDF's expansion of the buffer zone into Shejaiya.

Today the IOF killed yet another of the students who worked with @gmandreou.bsky.social for the GAZAMAP project as well as his family
Does ASOR or the AIA have anything to say about this unfathomable loss?
