Yes @jonroiser! What an interesting an important project

It's #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek and @GrandChallenges are spotlighting #UCLMentalHealth funded projects. In this video, we find out more about Prof @jonroiser and Dr @Bernardi_L's research into how political stressors impact an individual's wellbeing. buff.ly/ln4VsXz

@yuval_abraham solidarity Yuval, what a travesty - you guys are heros

A right-wing Israeli mob came to my family’s home yesterday to search for me, threatening close family members who fled to another town in the middle of the night. I am still getting death threats and had to cancel my flight home. This happened after Israeli media and German politicians absurdly labeled my Berlinale award speech - where I called for equality between Israelis and Palestinians, a ceasefire and an end to apartheid - as ‘antisemitic’. The appalling misuse of this word by Germans, not only to silence Palestinian critics of Israel, but also to silence Israelis like me who support a ceasefire that will end the killing in Gaza and allow the release of the Israeli hostages - empties the word antisemitism of meaning and thus endangers Jews all over the world. As my grandmother was born in a concentration camp in Libya and most of my grandfather’s family was murdered by Germans in the holocaust, I find it particularly outraging that German politicians in 2024 have the audacity to weaponize this term against me in a way that endangered my family. But above all else, this behavior puts Palestinian co-director Basel Adra’s life in danger, who lives under a military occupation surrounded by violent settlements in Masafer Yatta. He is in far greater danger than I am. I’m happy our award winning film, No Other Land, is sparking an important international debate on this issue - and I hope that millions of people watch it when it comes out this year. Sparking a conversation is why we made it. You can have harsh criticism of what me and Basel said on stage without demonizing us. If this is what you’re doing with your guilt for the holocaust - I don’t want your guilt.

Good etiquette has long dictated that it's best to avoid politics at the dinner table... but it can be hard not to. How do major political events affect our #mentalhealth? We spoke to Prof. @jonroiser & Dr @Bernardi_L buff.ly/wIU7MBE #UCLBrainSciences

I believe that sharing good news has the power to uplift others, inspire them, and foster more kindness in the world. This is why we are happy to share, during these difficult times, that our mental health & neuroscience proposal to the @wellcometrust has been funded! 🎊

Looking forward to working more with @jonroiser, Annie Hata, Michelle Craske, @FedeLucantonio, @DrLiamMason, @ritwikniyogi on this endeavor. Thanks to the @wellcometrust for believing in this project. Watch out for us hiring soon! 👀 @WashU / @ucl / @UCLA

The educational bookshop is one of the most important cultural institutions in East Jerusalem. This police raid is a disgrace

Israel's official policy is the expulsion of two million people from their homes and homeland. Will @BoardofDeputies @PhilR_R @JLC_uk @chiefrabbi continue their uncritical support for Israel? Or will they show some moral leadership?

@shuranjeetsingh @wellcometrust @SJBlackstock thanks for chairing! Very enjoyable panel with @OxfordPERL @sjblakemore

earlier this week i had a brilliant time hosting a seminar for @wellcometrust with professors @SJBlackstock, @jonroiser and catherine harmer on the topic of unpacking the mechanisms by which mental health interventions work in young people! 🧠

Many Palestinians to be released in this deal were held by Israel without charge, trial, or the chance to defend themselves. Some were taken over the past year to be used as bargaining chips in negotiations with Hamas. Currently, over 3,000 Palestinians are in this situation.

@xiaosigu @WhiteHouse wow incredible! huge congrats

this excellent commentary and analysis on last week's ridiculous Nature paper on genome editing for common health conditions is well worth your time

.@AlonLeeGreen @sacha_isma @YachadUK @cfpeace @ThePCFF Thanks to everyone who organised & supported the London FoST rally today. Great to hear poetry& testimonies of solidarity & @jerusalemchorus & a reminder of our demands on the UK government #Ceasefire #peacejustice #hope

I wrote an article about my dad's death, and how it affected my views on assisted dying Free version of the article in the next tweet Views are my own, not those of the institutions or academies I'm associated with thetimes.com/uk/healthcare/…

Arab Twitter is crying in joy for prisoners released after decades in the worst torture facilities in modern history, while Anglo American leftists are calling everyone US backed regime change terrorists. The difference in priorities is staggering
