Haven’t been here for a while, but a few weeks ago I met the inclusion criteria and published my first peer-reviewed paper with my friend and colleague, Michal Huss.

5/ Yet the Zionist project seeks to break this sense of belonging, viewing the land only as a resource. The Nakba continues, deepening the dispossession and suffering of the people of Palestine. This must stop, and the world must not look away any longer.

4/ For Israel, this land is nothing more than a resource to seize. For the people of Um Al-Hiran, it is life itself—a lasting link to identity, history, and belonging

1/ In yet another episode of displacement, the people of Um Al-Hiran in the Naqab awaken to the sight of their homes reduced to rubble. Another day begins, and once again, Israel pushes forward with its plan to erase our indigenous villages from the map

To be silent is to be complicit.

By illuminating the connections between these two places, as well as their histories and geographies of spatial violence, we aimed to confront and dismantle the colonial divide between them. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

With hope for the end of the genocide and for decolonization, I am pleased to share this feature that my dear colleague @HussMichal and I wrote about Gaza and Bi’r as-Sab’a>>

The audacity. Instead of listening to Palestinians or taking responsibility for their militarized society, these privileged Israelis have no shame to preach to us about the ‘right’ way to do activism.

The goal is decolonization and liberation. Israeli Ashkenazis from the center of Tel Aviv can engage in certain forms of activism in the name of this goal, but they can never impose their beliefs on the Palestinian movement of '48

Never forget!

Resilient Palestinian PhD student Anas al Qanoa submits and discusses his thesis from his partially destroyed house in #Gaza!

A bunch of NGOs from the so-called 'Israeli left' organized a 'peace conference' in Tel Aviv. Instead of stopping the genocide that their state is committing, they will do anything to ease their conscience. Liberal Zionists and Conservative Zionists are all the same. Sick.

A reminder that Israel holds thousands of Palestinian hostages in torture centres.

This situation symbolizes how this society is militarized and violent, even within academia. In fact, they have nothing to do with the production of knowledge. Instead, they perpetuate the state's colonial and epistemological violence.

Yesterday at the Hebrew University, Israelis were shouting at Palestinian students, "May your village burn." This isn't just violence; it's a call for collective punishment. But what's even scarier? They'll later sit among Palestinian students, armed, and no one will intervene>>

**URGENT PRESS RELEASE!!** Tomorrow morning, Israeli authorities are planning to demolish 47 homes belonging to Bedouin citizens in the neighborhood of Wadi al-Khalil, near the village of Umm al-Batin in the Negev. This is the largest home demolition operation ever in a single day since the demolition of Al-Araqeeb in 2010, led by Ministers Itamar Ben-Gvir and Amichai Chikli. Their goal is to ignite the Negev in order to deepen racial discrimination. The state is trying to force the residents of Wadi al-Khalil to move to Neighborhood 1 in Umm al-Batin, where locals are threatening to resort to severe violence against them. The residents of Wadi al-Khalil are willing to vacate their neighborhood - for the extension of Highway 6 southward - but refuse to move to the dangerous neighborhood in Umm al-Batin, and request to reside in a neighborhood that is currently under development in Tel Sheba. According to information available to us, the police intend to block Highway 60 in the morning, to prevent residents of the Negev from coming to support the neighborhood residents. We invite media teams from Israel and abroad to cover the calamitous event, starting 6am. This severe violation of the human rights of hundreds of people has only one reason - shameless racism of the Israeli government.
