"Labour's opportunistic sanctimony is difficult to stomach. This is the definition of instrumentalisation. Racism is not a game. When a party exploits it for its own political advantage, it cheapens the accusation and deepens the cynicism."

This goes far beyond a Tory donor’s racist comments about Diane Abbott, and Labour’s opportunistic response, says sociology professor Gary Younge

The last safe place is being bombed. Please don’t look away. Please don’t stop talking about it, donating money or your time. Whatever you have capacity to give, give it. #RafahUnderAttack

If you are an academic these people were our colleagues. The silence of universities in the face of such barbarity is a shame never to be washed away.

I've been walking around in a daze, on the verge of tears. It feels like nothing we do makes a difference to these genocidal, arrogant, cowardly brutes. But I am going to here this evening. All we have is our voices at the moment. If you can come #StopTheGenocide

The ICJ case against Israel shows how western logic is wearing thin and its persuasive power waning in a multipolar world.

Supporters of Palestine have long been told their position is fringe. But this case gives them legitimacy – and tests the limits of human rights, says Guardian columnist Nesrine Malik

🚨 LAUNCHING NOW 🎓 Gaza's universities have been under assault since the beginning of this violence and their digital presence is now offline. 🔐 We want to collect and preserve digital university materials until such time that they can be safely returned to these institutions.

I’d love to see it translated into Welsh - anyone? (maybe already done but couldn’t spot in the thread).

Came across Dr. Refaat Alareer's poem "If I must die" just a few days ago, I cried and couldn't help but translated it to Chinese without his permission. Now that he's gone.

86 years after the sirens sounded for the Nazi genocide, the Spanish city of Gernika once again sounds the sirens in response to the Israeli genocide in Gaza.

Email your MP to demand a ceasefire now - with this form it takes less than a minute. At our Palestine teach-in yday, our Palestinian speaker told my students not to lose hope, that our voices & actions are making a difference #ceasefirenow #freePalestine
