I’m looking at this new book from @digitislam colleagues on Polish cyber Islamic environments. Great to see this subject getting detailed attention.

The shooting of Palestinian journalist Saleh Aljafarawi is an obscenity beyond words. The targeting and murder of Palestinian journalists MUST now be the subject of independent criminal investigations.
This was Palestinian journalist Saleh AlJafarawi’s final post before he was murdered today. He was on Israel’s list of journalists marked for assassination, the same list that Anas Al Sharif and Hossam Shabat were on. He was 28 years old. The genocide is not over.

I am truly lost for words. Until yesterday, I never thought there would be something that would frighten me of going back to Liverpool after the break. Team mates come and go but not like this. It’s going to be extremely difficult to accept that Diogo won’t be there when we go

As the son of a Holocaust survivor who has lectured on genocide prevention at Auschwitz where my mother lost dozens of her family; as an MP under Mandela who introduced the 1st motion on the Holocaust in the history of the SA Parliament I can state unequivocally that
BREAKING: 🇺🇸 The U.S. government has formally requested that the United Nations remove pro-Hamas official Francesca Albanese for her “virulent antisemitism and support for terrorism,” for attacking U.S. companies in her new report, and misrepresenting her legal qualifications.
