A right-wing Israeli mob came to my family’s home yesterday to search for me, threatening close family members who fled to another town in the middle of the night. I am still getting death threats and had to cancel my flight home. This happened after Israeli media and German

Good etiquette has long dictated that it's best to avoid politics at the dinner table... but it can be hard not to. How do major political events affect our #mentalhealth? We spoke to Prof. @jonroiser & Dr @Bernardi_L https://t.co/iH9PAykw2a #UCLBrainSciences

Today Israeli undercover forces raided both branches of the Educational Bookshop, a well-respected Palestinian institution in Jerusalem. After an hour search, they confiscated English and Arabic books, and detained the owners Ahmad Muna and Mahmoud Muna.

Israel's official policy is the expulsion of two million people from their homes and homeland. Will @BoardofDeputies @PhilR_R @JLC_uk @chiefrabbi continue their uncritical support for Israel? Or will they show some moral leadership?

Many Palestinians to be released in this deal were held by Israel without charge, trial, or the chance to defend themselves. Some were taken over the past year to be used as bargaining chips in negotiations with Hamas. Currently, over 3,000 Palestinians are in this situation.

🧵1/ Ben-Gvir and Smotrich should be in prison, since they’re not, let’s at least shut down their bank accounts! We’re launching a campaign to impose personal sanctions on Ben-Gvir and Smotrich, in collaboration with other Israelis living in the UK. So how will this work?

We stand in solidarity with the Australian Jewish community after yesterday’s arson attack of the Adass Israel synagogue in Melbourne. Jews across the world will be shaken by this vicious antisemitic attack. There’s simply no justification for this. https://t.co/SJtzbeG76A

No serious injuries reported among Adass Israel congregants, some of whom were in the synagogue praying; board member says 'inside completely gutted,' holy books destroyed

Submissions to eLife before and after Web of Science decided it wouldn't give the journal an impact factor this year (based on a rationale that isn't even internally coherent) - clearly Chinese science is still heavily reliant on this highly flawed metric!

You sound like a drug addict yelling "if you really love me, you'd give me more money to stay high" Israel is addicted to its apartheid, genocide & crimes against humanity in Gaza. The best pro-Israeli US lawmakers can do is to cut you off the drugs, not give you more of them!

No friend of Israel should vote for an arms embargo while we are fighting on multiple fronts to protect our people from terrorism and to bring our hostages home. This has nothing to do with your opinion of the current government, it is about standing with the people of Israel.
