CALL FOR INTERVIEWEES I'm looking to conduct research interviews with people who were involved in Anti-Apartheid, anti-Vietnam War, &/or Chile solidarity politics in Britain, for my PhD on international solidarity & the Cold War-era UK left (see below). PLEASE SHARE/get in touch!

He should be referring himself to The Hague for complicity in genocide.

The deliberate and relentless killing of Palestinian journalists is sickening beyond words — and is a desperate attempt to silence the truth about Israel’s ongoing crimes against humanity. Shame on all those who empowered Israel to murder with impunity.

As peaceful protestors are arrested for holding placards, starving Palestinians are being shot in the street. This will go down as one of the most shameful moments in British legal history. No amount of suppression can hide the truth: our government is complicit in genocide.

The Oxford-educated Harvard prof Niall Ferguson would like you to know that supporting Palestine is a "luxury belief"– what he calls "a Hermès handbag of an idea". This is to distract you from the fact that he wants Western countries to continue writing blank cheques to Israel

It is simply remarkable how much the recent pivots to condemning Israel are premised on fabricating a recent watershed, on summoning a new history of events. Hind Rajab was killed a year and a half ago. The ICJ case was filed in 2023.

Keir Starmer and David Lammy both belong in The Hague.

It is worth noting that, for some time, every production at Covent Garden was preceded by the Ukrainian national anthem.

My piece from the latest @tribunemagazine on 'sleepwalking' elites and Chris Clark vis. Perry Anderson is now unpaywalled:

100 years ago today, Frantz Fanon was born. Martiniquais by birth, Algerian by struggle #Fanon100 was not only a key thinker of anti-imperialist struggles in Africa and the Global South, but also a revolutionary activist. "What matters is not to know the world but to change it"

Every day, at least 10 children in Gaza lose one or both of their legs. Read that, and then read it again. In the coming reckoning, the politicians who facilitated this will go to prison, and the journalists who cheered it on will have their careers and reputations destroyed.

The cop doesn't have a leg to stand on, & it's an open question whether they know & don't care or whether they're genuinely dumb. But it's the desired result of proscription: a general chilling effect on pro-Palestinian speech and protest, & uncertainty about what you can say.

The Eighteenth Brumaire is the analytical gift that never stops giving.

This is horrific shit, and Tony Blair's staff were working with Israeli genocidaire capitalists to ethnically cleanse and fully colonise Gaza:

From the diaspora to the occupied territories and the Palestinian minority in Israel, left-wing forces have played a big role in organizing popular struggles for democratic rights in Palestine. A new Jacobin podcast series looks at their impact and legacy.

We've completed a six-part podcast series for Long Reads about the histories of the Palestinian left, from the origins of the communist movement in the 1920s up to the present day. Definitely one for people who aren't afraid of the word "intifada".
