for @Parapraxis_Mag I wrote about Palestine as an Arab issue, Arab political subjectivity in the aftermath of the Arab Spring, counterrevolution and reverberations of political defeat since 1967 in an attempt to answer the question “where are the Arabs?” parapraxismagazine.com/articles/leftw…

I wrote about Bifo Berardi’s heinous new book "Thinking Gaza" for @DefectorMedia. Had to restrain myself from throwing this one across the room multiple times while reading. Not only deeply unserious as a work of theory, but also politically abhorrent. defector.com/franco-berardi…

Vote Palestine 2026!

I dismantle the “Green Party antisemitism” smear point by point until Julie Hartley-Brewer can’t name a single example. The one she finally reaches for? Her own Islamophobia. Incredible.

🔴 Paramedic massacre in Lebanon. Ambulance teams and members of civil defense were besieged, bombed and murdered tonight by the Israeli army in Majdal Zoun, Tyre district, while carrying out their humanitarian duty rescuing injured civilians. The Lebanese MOH said in a statement that the preliminary death toll now stands at five. Three of them were paramedics. Glory to the martyrs. May they rest in peace.

this is what the promise of camp David and economic alignment with the U.S. has led to in Egypt. 1 in 3 Egyptians live below the line of poverty

استشهدت مراسلة الأخبار في جنوب لبنان الزميلة آمال خليل بعد ملاحقة طائرات جيش العدو لها، واستهدافها بعدد من الغارات التي أصابت سيارتها أولاً، ثم البيت الذي لجأت إليه، في استهداف واضح للصحافة والصحافيين في لبنان.

Amal Khalil, another brave journalist killed by Israeli occupation forces. May her soul rest in eternal peace.

I’ll be discussing @wasimsaidharbid’s incredible testimony with @meznaqato in London on the 7th of May. RSVP for free below!

🚨 A journalist colleague, @loffredojeremy reached out to the number that had sent death threats to Lebanese journalist @AmalKhalil, asking for comment. This was the response: “These are not innocent people… journalists affiliated with Hezbollah… should know that they are destined for death.” Read that again. A direct threat is not only repeated, it is justified. Journalists are being labeled, dehumanised, & openly treated as legitimate targets. This is not intimidation. This is the normalisation of targeting journalists. Amal al-Khalil was reporting from village to village, documenting funerals, destruction, & the human cost of Israel’s war on Lebanon. She is not a combatant. She is a journalist. And yet, the message is clear: those who report are being threatened with death. This is being said openly. Read the message below 👇

𝗝𝗢𝗨𝗥𝗡𝗔𝗟𝗜𝗦𝗧𝗦 𝗧𝗥𝗔𝗣𝗣𝗘𝗗 𝗨𝗡𝗗𝗘𝗥 𝗙𝗜𝗥𝗘 𝗜𝗡 𝗦𝗢𝗨𝗧𝗛 𝗟𝗘𝗕𝗔𝗡𝗢𝗡 Journalists Amal Al-Khalil and Zeinab Faraj are still trapped near two martyrs who were killed today in Tayri, South Lebanon. Israeli forces are targeting any movement in the area, preventing the Red Cross and Civil Defense from reaching the site to evacuate the journalists.

@RaniaKhalek I’m so sorry for your loss Rania. Inshallah fel gannah.

My Dad just died. He was older than the state of “Israel.” And he fought until the very end. He made me who I am. And I am writing this post to celebrate that. open.substack.com/pub/raniakhale…
