The university where I teach, Cornell, has joined the chorus of the cowardly by not calling for a ceasefire in Gaza and punishing the students who are exercising their rights to free speech by protesting the genocide.
College and University presidents across the country have proven to be cowards in not publicly condemning the genocide in Gaza and to add insult to injury jumping on the antisemitism bandwagon, which is no more than the alibi for the mass murder of Palestinians.
“It may seem wrong that, after more than 30,000 Palestinians in Gaza have perished, it took the deaths of just seven international aid workers to stir Western governments into a sense of outrage, but that is the reality” (The Independent). The reality is racism.
'People are cursing Sinwar': Gazans opposing Hamas are sure they're the majority haaretz.com/israel-news/20….
“The United Nations special rapporteur on the occupied Palestinian territories demanded criminal consequences for Israeli officials on Tuesday after the country's forces attacked a World Central Kitchen convoy in the Gaza Strip, killing seven workers” (Common Dreams).
Israel withdrew from El Shifa Hospital in Gaza earlier this morning. I urge u to look at what they left behind, 400 bodies, some run over by tanks, some buried alive in body bags, burned buildings & executing children under 13s. Read more, share,don't let this barbarity be normal
SO TRUE…
“Today it is impossible to oppose the war, to be shocked by its crimes, to be horrified by the fate of Gaza, to feel compassion for its residents, without first condemning the crimes of Hamas”(Gideon Levi). These crimes, and they are crimes, are the alibi for genocide in Gaza.
“The United Nations Human Rights Council on Monday published a draft report that found ‘reasonable grounds to believe’ that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza…..” (Common Dreams).
This will not be forgiven:“Israeli forces have repeatedly laid siege to hospital facilities, killing hundreds of medical workers and taking captive scores of others, despite thousands of internally displaced Palestinians sheltering in the health care complexes” (the Intercept).
“The fact that the International Court of Justice has found grounds to investigate Israel for plausible acts of genocide in Gaza has not deterred the U.S. and its allies from continuing to facilitate Israel’s war” (the Intercept). A vote for Biden-Harris is a vote for genocide.
THROUGHOUT THE PAST five and a half months, Israel has waged a full-spectrum war against the civilian population of the Gaza Strip. The United States and other Western nations have supplied… the weapons for this war of annihilation against the Palestinians….(the Intercept).
This will not be forgiven: “Malnutrition among children is spreading fast and reaching devastating and unprecedented levels in the Gaza Strip due to the wide-reaching impacts of the war and ongoing restrictions on aid delivery," UNICEF said (Common Dreams).
This will not be forgiven: “Human Rights Watch says the Israeli government is starving civilians as a method of warfare in the Gaza Strip. Aiding and abetting this war crime, the U.S. government has approved 100 military sales to Israel over the past five months” (Kathy Kelly).
Don’t tell me that as a Jew the settler-state of Israel or Zionism represents me. It doesn’t. What represents me is the tradition of social justice from the Old Testament prophets to Jewish Voice for Peace.
“We stand here as men who refute their Jewishness and the Holocaust being hijacked by an occupation, which has led to conflict for so many innocent people – whether the victims of October the 7th in Israel or the ongoing attack on Gaza…” (Jonathan Glazer at the Oscars).
“Biden is attempting to balance support for Israel with aid to Gaza, sending both bombs for military use and food to alleviate the growing crisis, highlighting the complex American role in the conflict”(NY TIMES) i.e. Taking back with one hand what he gives with the other.
Adele Khodr, UNICEF's regional director for the Middle East…said malnutrition is ravaging the Gaza Strip and warned that child deaths "are likely to rapidly increase" unless Israel ends its military assault and allows humanitarian aid to flow unimpeded(Common Dreams).
Gaza, Israel & the US at work: “Seven Babies died in one of the only remaining hospitals with incubators. They died.... for lack of milk. They add to over hundreds of babies (less than 1 year old) who died by carpet bombing residential neighborhoods” (Mazin Qumsiyeh).

Don't let them pretend outside of Israel that this is just about getting Hamas, when inside Israel they've been explicit that this is about ethnic cleansing and the total destruction of Gaza and all the people there.
Is Biden going to bomb Yemen daily now? What's the point of doing this? This will not deter Yemen from doing what it does in the Red Sea until Israel stops the killing in Gaza and it will increase insecurity in the area for shipping.
I am glad that the crazy Nikki Haley is losing steam. But aren't they all crazy? More or less...
Hamas and the Israeli govt. are mirror images of each other. Hamas represents Islamic fundamentalism; Israel, Zionist fundamentalism. And both target non-combatants: Israel in its continual aggression against the Palestinian people and Hamas in its resistance to that aggression.
Tha Assange irony: The US. wants to prosecute Julian Assange under the Espionage Act for doing his job as a journalist exposing US war crimes in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Guantanamo. , crimes for which the US will never be prosecuted. Justice?

@medievaliste You could have 8 books (I do) but once you’re contingent they see you as a failure & refuse to promote you. Academia thrives on rankism.
@medievaliste These are just speculation, but I personally don't understand why "senior" hiring is so rare in US academia. One advantage of being less experienced is that you can likely be paid less. Also you are less likely to have your own independent agenda (?) Should be outweighed ...

What is clear from last night's impressive presentation of the Jan 6 committee & its chair: 1) Trump & his minions attempted a coup; 2) Liz Cheney is a courageous & admirable figure even if she has ideas on abortion & guns that I find repellent; 3) Pence showed some character.
These words by Martinican writer Édouard Glissant appear as if seared into a slave ship’s inner hull in the Memorial to the Abolition of Slavery in Nantes. This is why history, especially #historyfrombelow, matters.
I have wanted to join the conversations here about the recent mass murders in Buffalo and Uvalde, but I find that I am choked with rage. I am grateful to the many people who watch what members of Congress say, then post the money each one has received from the NRA.
Every day in the US is Groundhog Day: the alarm rings;we wakeup to mass shootings, endless war, income inequality, poverty, and a government that has turned its back on the people. If the success of a state is measured by the wellbeing of its population, the US is a failed state.
