'Camp residents heard women screaming and babies crying late at night. When they went to investigate, they were shot at by Israeli quadcopter drones. The sounds they had heard were recordings played by Israel's drones to lure them out.' euromedmonitor.org/en/article/6271

[thread] Dear @ISAnet executive, I am taking this opportunity to respond to the email you sent to your membership yesterday regarding discussions of the genocide in #Gaza at #ISA2024 1/

We are not exceptionalising Israel. Israel is doing exceptionally inhumane things.

All students and scholars should read this analysis from the Palestinian Feminist Collective on Zionist sophicide and the feminist praxis we need for true academic freedom mondoweiss.net/2024/04/a-femi…

The The Tor Project just published an insightful report on how Israel's defense and surveillance industry, which is marketed as 'field-proven' on Palestinians, exports to the rest of the world and threatens privacy and human rights everywhere.

Here are some examples 🧵⬇️

Decolonisation isnt a feel-good exercise ... be wary of those who want to 'decolonise the university' but dont want to rock the boat

For those shocked by the cruelty of Israel withholding martyrs' bodies, Suhad Daher-Nashif has written 'Colonial management of death: To be or not to be dead in Palestine' journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.11…

'As you well know we rescued intellectuals seeking
refuge from the Nazis. We continued the body of critical thought that had been wiped out-
promoting the remarkable traditions of the German academy' (The New School on the cancellation of Nancy Fraser's guest professorship in DE)

It’s not enough for colonialists to lockdown life, they have to extend their dominion over death & mourning. Palestinian funerals have become spaces of mourning & resistance to Israel, that’s why the dead body remains a threat. Genocide doesn’t cover this extended violation

More than 20,000 children, like the boy in the video, have been made orphans from the Israeli genocidal war on Gaza.

Full statement BDSatISA

Institutional silencing makes you feel outnumbered and alone. I thought a handful of us would stand up, isolated in a hostile crowd. But the whole room stood in solidarity with Palestine and to demand ISA endorse BDS. A truly beautiful and important moment. #ISA2024 ISA

🚨BREAKING: After destruction of al-Shifa, hundreds of NHS workers are blockading NHS England demanding an end to its contact with surveillance technology firm Palantir, which profits from Israel’s war on hospitals & killing of health workers.

Genocide profiteers #HandsOffOurNHS

i wrote a short thing about international law, failure and palestine, and CLT have been kind enough to publish it.

A reminder as @ISA2024 opens in San Francisco that *all* of Gaza's universities have been bombed & hundreds of educators & thousands of students have been killed in US/Israel's ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people

#EndScholasticide #NoConferencingAsUsual #BDSatISA

Thinking about the loud collective silence we live in, the turning away, pretending it has nothing to do with ‘us’ while our UK taxes fund genocide; about complicity; careers built on writing & teaching about everything except colonial violence, especially this colonial violence.

April marks 6 months of the Israeli genocide in Palestine, 1 year of the war in Sudan. Over 32,000 killed in Gaza estimates are over 50k killed in Sudan*. Liberation in Palestine + Sudan will require the entire complicit multi-lateral system from the UN to the AU be abolished.

I had always wondered why genocidaires often leave meticulous records of their atrocities. We now know.
