Spent my hiatus reading, among other things, the history of Israel-Palestine. & this is what I learned: there are many bad actors, many conflicts, many twists & turns, many broken promises, many changes of mind, convoluted events, yes. But there is nothing 'complex' about (1/2)

Thank you @BrisUniPress for inviting us to reflect on our work. Always such a privilege to share intellectual space with @J_Schoeneberg! 👏🏾🙏🏾
Two Convivial Thinkers ask whether #HigherEd can really ‘decolonise development’ when only some voices are heard and others are silenced. We must still aim to dismantle the logics of neoliberal academia, however daunting. @J_Schoeneberg @Dr_Lata_N

Justice Lokur: You have had the case of Umar Khalid asking for bail, which has not been listed for a long time. There have been 13 adjournments. Ultimately, the lawyer said that we wanted to withdraw the case because they knew what the result was going to be. They knew the fate

Despite the onscreen scroll being pretty fast, it still takes over *seven* minutes to go through all the names. 😢 If you’re still defending, or even denying, the killing of thousands of Palestinian kids, take a long hard look at yourself in the mirror.
Here is a list of the names we know from the more than 11,500 Palestinian children killed during Israel’s continuing war on Gaza ⤵️ Know their names: https://t.co/l9T4EJlRKT

A thread of global reactions to ICJ provisional measures ruling in South Africa v Israel as they come. 🧵 First the EU🇪🇺: “Orders of the International Court of Justice are binding on the Parties. The European Union expects their full, immediate and effective implementation.”

Since we wrote this, it's become even more disturbingly relevant. E.g the supposedly 'decolonised' new criminal laws which actually keep all the colonial-era repression (in place of 'sedition' 'anti-national' activities) & remove all post-47 safeguards. @Dr_Lata_N @GitiChandra
