Happy birthday, Antonio Gramsci! 🎉🥳

The BBC really don’t cope well when their audience manipulation has been highlighted. Mariam Barghouti pointing out some home truths. This is how media works.

Launch event of partnership between @clsgcQM @StateCrime and @law_birzeit The Institute of Law at Birzeit University, Palestine @fobzu @QMSchoolofLaw @QMUL @QMUL_HSS qmul.ac.uk/law/news/2024/…

The world has witnessed the government of Israel’s genocide against Palestinians in occupied Gaza. Month after month, the government of Israel has treated Palestinians in Gaza as a subhuman group unworthy of human rights and dignity, demonstrating its specific intent to physically destroy them. Israel's government and state officials responsible for the crime of genocide must be held accountable. We are calling on all States to use every legal avenue to bring suspected perpetrators to justice. No one should be allowed to commit genocide and remain unpunished. amnestyusa.org/gaza-genocide

David Lammy attended a Labour Friends of Israel event yesterday and posed for pictures with the Israeli ambassador in London, Tzipi Hotovely. Hotovely has suggested that “every school, every mosque, every second house" in Gaza is a legitimate target for Israel.

"And once you come to this conclusion you cannot remain silent." Location: Parliament Square, London (sound on)

@GhassanAbuSitt1 at @OfficialBrismes annual lecture: Study shows chances of being killed in Gaza as a health professional are THREE TIMES HIGHER than as a regular civilian.

Delighted to be launching ours and @StateCrime partnership with @law_birzeit, bringing together staff and students from both law schools to learn about Palestinian legal education under Israeli occupation. You can learn more about our partnership here qmul.ac.uk/law/news/2024/…

I once believed that the Israeli government's slaughter of civilians was indiscriminate. I was completely wrong. It is deliberate, massive and plainly genocidal.

BREAKING. Today the pro-genocide protest at Queen Mary University (led by one of the most reactionary admin I have ever seen in the UK higher education system) was cancelled after earlier protests staged in front of the #LSE and @SOAS - consisting of a dozen flags/ more flags than feet anyway - were clamourously outnumbered by peaceful antigenocidal young protesters. This forced the progenocide minions to evaporate. And everyone enjoyed the pro-genocide free space.

How does Israel profit from oppressing #Palestinians? How does the US support this? 🧵These 3 videos answer these questions 🧵 Video 1: The truth about US military aid to Israel: instagram.com/academicsforpe… @academicsforpeace/video/7415982615099919658" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">tiktok.com/@academicsforp… #Palestine #Gaza #WestBank #Academics4Peace
