NEW INVESTIGATION: Israeli forces repeatedly attacked Gaza’s main port in the week following 7 Oct 2023. By Jan 2024, after months of continued attacks, all docked vessels had been rendered non-operational, devastating Gaza’s fishing industry and increasing Palestinian dependence on foreign aid.

This is a useful visualization of the Arabian Peninsula’s marginalization in Middle East Studies. While some important new journals and institutions in/on the peninsula are already ameliorating this problem, IJMES and some key US institutions remain anchored to Egypt, the Levant, and Turkey.
🧵1/ As part of this issue we did an analysis of over 10,000 articles of journals with Middle East in the title published since the 1950s. The idea was to see how the Gulf fit in in the 'discursive production of the Middle East'. #GulfStudies #menasky

Watching Moby Dick last night (Huston/Peck, as suggested), the girl was struck by the storm scene. That brought to mind this amazing photograph of the Garthsnaid by Alexander Harper Turner in 1920.
