Zionist slander & racism against Palestinians, Arabs, and Muslims permitted by govt & media made this plot against @NerdeenKiswani possible. The same forces that led to the assassination of Alex Odeh in 1985- a murder that no one has been held to account for, to date. #Gaza

I wonder what violent Jewish extremist group Alexander Heifler had had ties to. He made Molotov cocktails in an attempt to assassinate me, and yet is only charged with firearm possession. No terrorism, no hate crime, no conspiracy. What info did @nypost have on his ties?

Glory to the breaking of the 17 year long illegal siege. Glory to the Palestinian resistance. Glory to our martyrs. Al-Aqsa flood. Palestine. Gaza💚🇵🇸

This is my will and my final message. If these words reach you, know that Israel has succeeded in killing me and silencing my voice. First, peace be upon you and Allah’s mercy and blessings. Allah knows I gave every effort and all my strength to be a support and a voice for my people, ever since I opened my eyes to life in the alleys and streets of the Jabalia refugee camp. My hope was that Allah would extend my life so I could return with my family and loved ones to our original town of occupied Asqalan (Al-Majdal). But Allah’s will came first, and His decree is final. I have lived through pain in all its details, tasted suffering and loss many times, yet I never once hesitated to convey the truth as it is, without distortion or falsification—so that Allah may bear witness against those who stayed silent, those who accepted our killing, those who choked our breath, and whose hearts were unmoved by the scattered remains of our children and women, doing nothing to stop the massacre that our people have faced for more than a year and a half. I entrust you with Palestine—the jewel in the crown of the Muslim world, the heartbeat of every free person in this world. I entrust you with its people, with its wronged and innocent children who never had the time to dream or live in safety and peace. Their pure bodies were crushed under thousands of tons of Israeli bombs and missiles, torn apart and scattered across the walls. I urge you not to let chains silence you, nor borders restrain you. Be bridges toward the liberation of the land and its people, until the sun of dignity and freedom rises over our stolen homeland. I entrust you to take care of my family. I entrust you with my beloved daughter Sham, the light of my eyes, whom I never got the chance to watch grow up as I had dreamed. I entrust you with my dear son Salah, whom I had wished to support and accompany through life until he grew strong enough to carry my burden and continue the mission. I entrust you with my beloved mother, whose blessed prayers brought me to where I am, whose supplications were my fortress and whose light guided my path. I pray that Allah grants her strength and rewards her on my behalf with the best of rewards. I also entrust you with my lifelong companion, my beloved wife, Umm Salah (Bayan), from whom the war separated me for many long days and months. Yet she remained faithful to our bond, steadfast as the trunk of an olive tree that does not bend—patient, trusting in Allah, and carrying the responsibility in my absence with all her strength and faith. I urge you to stand by them, to be their support after Allah Almighty. If I die, I die steadfast upon my principles. I testify before Allah that I am content with His decree, certain of meeting Him, and assured that what is with Allah is better and everlasting. O Allah, accept me among the martyrs, forgive my past and future sins, and make my blood a light that illuminates the path of freedom for my people and my family. Forgive me if I have fallen short, and pray for me with mercy, for I kept my promise and never changed or betrayed it. Do not forget Gaza… And do not forget me in your sincere prayers for forgiveness and acceptance.

Bari Weiss targeting Refaat for how his tweet on fake baked babies made her feel versus Refaat actually being killed is the perfect encapsulation of this whole feelings debate in the West when an actual genocide is being committed.

genuine question how is everyone getting the email updates from columbia on the labor bargaining??? they are not sending them to me and i want to know what they are saying 😭😭 (i am a current student and don’t have any open discipline)

@mpreg_socrates @NerdeenKiswani again. the indictment is not that not every single person is choosing armed resistance as the path, but that literally no one is. it is not about individual choices but the bigger picture produced. enjoy ur strawmanning tho

@bundistvampire @NerdeenKiswani So the argument isn't whether the nazis were worse but that Sophie Scholl was a bad person for not going into the woods with the partisans? What's the point being made here? What are you trying to say that's substantially meaningful that doesn't come off as insane?

This is simply not true. There's several Israeli groups working with Palestinians. Zionism is an awful genocidal ideology but there's 0 reason to start making weird "worse than nazism" comparisons.

@mpreg_socrates @NerdeenKiswani that’s not what she said. the comparison is between the groups who opposed their regimes, which allows the perpetrators to be equally bad. the fact that israeli “opposition” doesn’t find genocide sufficient cause to take up arms makes them worse than their equivalents

@NerdeenKiswani One should absolutely criticise the premises on which the Israeli left organise with Palestinians. It's moronic to believe this somehow makes the perpretators of Treblinka or the genocides in Belarus better people.

With less than a month before the semester starts, Columbia admin are “relieving” student workers from their teaching jobs. These notices follow drastic cuts to the Core & University Writing. CU is scrambling to hire scabs to replace our labor for language classes like Spanish.

Poll after poll comes out showing the ubiquity of genocidal racism among Israeli Jews and yet you still have squishy liberals advocating for the self-determination of the Jewish people in Palestine. This is not a resolvable contradiction. The Jewish nation must be abolished

For Dazed MENA, I spoke with Sheikh Adnan, a Kashmiri artisan in Srinagar, about pashmina and Sozni embroidery as a language of memory and resistance. "Palestinian Tatreez and Kashmiri Sozni feel like they come from the same soul." dazed.me/fashion/pashmi…

it's hard to overstate what a big deal this is. with breathtaking speed, columbia has more or less completely eliminated grad student teaching positions that have existed for decades. myself and many others are out of work as a result. please sign the petition/share widely.

If you condemned the Yemeni people for demanding food aid be let into Gaza, don’t pretend to care about the famine you helped enable. You can’t claim to oppose genocide while denying it’s happening — or blocking those trying to stop it.

People who you have followed for months and who are martyrs still have families. I have seen Reefat’s family struggling to raise funds as well. Help them to survive instead of living of their work. Food may not be there, but they need health aid as well chuffed.org/project/138370…

When we set up the Columbia encampment, mass graves were being uncovered in Gaza's hospitals. Now, as Columbia capitulates to Trump and vows not to divest, Palestinians are starved to death & shot by the IOF at aid sites daily. There are no words for this level of depravity.

proof that there is no amount of capitulation that is sufficient to appease zionists

People in Sudan are boiling weeds with salt water because there’s nothing else to eat. One teacher even wrote a love poem to a wild plant that kept him and others alive. Let that sink in. The world has failed Sudan like no other. #KeepEyesOnSudan #EyesOnDarfur #EyesOnNuba

columbia just suspended 80 students at once ranging from 1-3 year long suspensions & barnard hasn’t even released their sanctions yet. they have also been systematically targeting students by tripling tuition or removing our financial aid altogether w/ no explanation

Palestinians have the right to end mass starvation by any means necessary
