This is both immoral and illegal Permanent ceasefire now

Children. Civilians. Medical personnel. Humanitarian workers. They are #NotATarget.

@simongandrew @orenkz @geoff_levin @NYUpress @yalepress Just got a copy of both of these. Looking forward to digging in and reading the review essay.

One of the joys of being an editor for the International Journal of Middle East Studies is curating review essays. A forthcoming piece will place @orenkz's "Unsettled" into conversation with @geoff_levin's "Our Palestine Question: Israel and American Jewish Dissent, 1948-1978."

Israel has killed more than 40,000 Palestinians in the besieged Gaza Strip, but what does that look like in everyday life? Visualising Israel's Gaza killings: aje.io/6vgdvb

Forcibly displaced Palestinians waved white flags as they fled their homes due to an Israeli military assault in the occupied West Bank city of Jenin.

There are no words to appropriately convey the devastation we feel to learn of the murders of Hersh Goldberg-Polin, Carmel Gat, Eden Yerushalmi, Alexander Lobanov, Almog Sarusi and Ori Danino. Every single life lost is a universe destroyed. This nightmare needs to end.

@UpsideDownHegel @SanaSaeed @thedigradio This book is by Cornell prof. Olúfẹ́mi Táíwò, not Georgetown prof. Olúfẹ́mi Táíwò (author of Elite Capture). Just FYI Haven’t read this book but both authors are worth a read.

@SanaSaeed I read his book Elite Capture and it was good and he’s always been a great on @thedigradio podcast

Saw this book recommended on a listserv I’m a part of - has anyone read it? Thoughts?
