We're running out of lies to tell.

Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. It sounds inconceivable. But it’s the truth. Israel is taking deliberate, coordinated action to destroy the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip. Explicit statements by Israeli officials, combined with a consistent policy of destructive attacks

This is not business as usual. My new UN report, From Economy of Occupation to Economy of Genocide, is out today. It shows how corporations have fueled and legitimised the destruction of Palestine. Genocide, it would seem, is profitable. This cannot continue, accountability must

The Israeli bombardment killed in Gaza city the Palestinian journalist Fatmeh Hassouneh and 10 of her family members including other women and children. This brings the number of Palestinian journalists killed since October 7th to 217.

-Apartheid states aren’t democracies -Genocide is not urban warfare -Ethnic cleansing is not a real-estate plan -Mass slaughter of children is not self-defense -Occupation and annexation are illegal -Forcibly displacing people is a war crime Words matter. The truth matters.

Thrilled to receive the #MSCA grant with the AntTRAILS project!🐜 I will explore the genomic legacy of human transitions in Mediterranean ants across history at @BBlaimer's lab (@CIBD_mfnberlin) and with Pablo Librado (@IBE_Barcelona). Lots of ants and fun ahead! Now at🦋site!
