Also, here’s a new article of mine: “Resilience and domination: resonances of racial slavery in refugee exclusion.” This is the first piece of a new project so I’m keen for any feedback. academic.oup.com/isq/article/...

‘I’m not saying it’s not a tragedy’ says Jack Lew, while defending Israel’s killing of ‘children of Hamas fighters’. The language of tragedy has become the refuge of all those who want to obscure agency and responsibility, as if Palestinians are simply fated to die.

After being repeatedly asked about this for the better part of a fortnight, I figured I'd just write it up in one spot. It's not an endorsement of nuclear deterrence, nor a nuclear-armed Iran. But could we live with that outcome? Yep. theconversation.com/could-we-liv...
Could we live with a nuclear-armed Iran? Reluctantly, yes
Both Israel and the US claim a nuclear-armed Iran would pose an existential threat. It wouldn’t. Here’s why.

It’s really quite insane that Israel, alone among the countries of the world, literally bombs every one of its neighbors on a regular basis while committing genocide against the people of Gaza, all with the near total backing of both US political parties and zero political accountability.

This is a great collection of essays, edited by the *brilliant* Bridget Anderson of Migration Mobilities Bristol.
It examines the histories of international borders and explores mobility beyond the human and across time, from the movement of soil in the Middle Ages to contemporary cow passports.

The Biden Admin could have halted this genocide at any point in the last year. They pro-actively prolonged a genocide on behalf of a regime that didn’t care to get hostages back and actively wanted Trump to win - and for zero strategic gain. The most grotesque foreign policy in my lifetime.
