Truth is, they're mad at him for saying "equal rights for everyone" and that's something they can never stand for

Ignoring the racism for a second, can we just appreciate how stupid it is to use "little Muhammad" as a derogatory?! Imagine an anti-christian bigot calling a Mike "little Peter" and then thinking they nailed it

When soldiers admit to 'Hunger Games' style treatment by a regime that most western governments still self identify as their ally, surely at some point those governments will ask themselves what the bloody hell are we actually doing enabling this!

A short thread on the whole "Intifada" discourse since certain circles are attempting to tar the word and associate it with violence/terrorism. I've seen people refer to it as meaning 'uprising' in Arabic, and while not wrong, it doesn't really convey the context or weight of the word 1/5

Please don't cheapen or trivialize terms like "Kristallnacht", with all their historical weight. Also ffs tune down the racism a little bit. Being brown is, in actual fact, not antisemitic!

Good on Ireland! Makes a lot of sense Ireland doesn't care for colonial nonsense

Worse even: in many cases they self-identify as allies to said murderers

Man the discourse in American media is so weird

NGOs represent civil society. They are funded by the EU to hold its institutions (commission, council, not just parliament) accountable, especially in areas of climate and environment. It is not surprising at all that a kleptocrat/fascist enthusiast like Musk is confused by how democracies work.

I had "Supermassive Blake Holes" in the title of my PhD thesis. Luckily I spotted it an hour before printing. Otherwise Blake might've pressed charges

It's hard to pay attention to everything with all the genocide and starting major wars, but this is how colonisation of the west bank started. They're looking to colonise southern Syria beyond the Golan

The number of times western politics/media went nuts over the reaction to an Arabic word very few even understand or know its historical context

What is common knowledge in your field, but shocks outsiders? We have a good understanding of stars form, how galaxies form, but not how planets form. Depending on who you ask, we either don't have a theory of planet formation, or have too many theories of planet formation

As someone who grew up in an authoritarian country, I can confirm. These things usually look a lot more polished

In 2013 I was a terrified PhD student attending a conference in Cambridge. In comes Sir Martin Rees. He asks if the seat next to me is vacant. I froze and said yes, but it was actually the seat of the person giving the current talk. I made sure I disappeared from the venue before the talk was over

A must see: Adi Granot, an Israeli female musician and a human rights activist, created this powerful video contrasting Israel’s escapism (entertainment TV shows and food festivals) with the horrors ongoing in Gaza youtu.be/4M9LlV1kr08

This would be a true disaster! You're shitting on the experiment that led to arguably the most important discovery in astronomy in the last 25 years

What's happening in the west bank is just textbook colonialism. Straight out of the 1800s. Enabled by a global north that has constantly preached they regret their colonial past. Make it make sense! PS there's no HAMAS in the west bank. It was always about land theft and erasing Arabic presence

"The settlements are an obstacle to peace" is a line that I read endlessly and it always infuriates me. You should object to colonialism because it's bad, not because it makes diplomacy difficult

Holding our kids a little tighter. A little longer. Inhaling in the scent of their hair, the sound of their stims. Exhaling their predictable routines, their relatively calm environments. And knowing the pit in our stomach for Areej is partly fear of the "what ifs" that are getting harder to quiet.

Weird how said "harsh spotlight" seems to always shine in one direction but not the other. The antisemitic murders are horrific. But no, it shouldn't dissuade people from protesting genocide, as NYT seems to weirdly suggest

Israel vows to continue the war until Gaza is cleansed of Palestinians. I feel the EU maybe reviewing some of its trade deals with Israel as a response is perhaps, a little underwhelming...
