A ceasefire doesn’t end a genocide. From the Herero & Nama genocide to the Holocaust to the man-made famines that forged the global south, genocidal projects often achieve the most harm and extermination not through bullets and bombs but the purposeful spread of disease and starvation.

There is a risk that Trump's rampage through health + endless 'harnessing the power of AI' will result in a doubling-down on more PPPs. In @thelancet.bsky.social we caution against more of the same & need to think about the PPPs we need not the ones we have www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

We don't need a wider UK definition of terrorism. I already speak to many individuals who have been unjustly caught up in counterterror legislation - many simply for being Muslim. A new definition will not stop violence, but it will further harm Muslim communities and civil rights in Britain.

Really, truly hope that the ceasefire holds - but this must not be the end of demanding accountability and redress for the genocide that has been perpetrated by Israel against the Palestinians, and the material and ideological support our governments lent it to do so.

The Telegraph calling for the term Islamophobia to be dropped is so cynical considering Islamophobia is being stoked by the far right around 'grooming gangs'.

This is becoming the mainstream, consensus position in the global humanitarian / human rights community. It should be recognised and treated as such. Not just in the general discourse, but by policymakers above all. They have a specific obligation to prevent genocide. Active facilitation is criminal

During my PhD I experienced severe anxiety and depression, along with suicide ideation. Thankfully I got help and I'm still here. As a student I went to find a book mental illness and how to cope during a PhD and didn't find one. That's how "Managing Your Mental Health During Your PhD" came to be.

Thinking this morning of all my Syrian friends, many of whom I first met in a refugee camp in Greece in 2015. They spoke of bring tortured in Assad’s prisons, the pain of having to leave family behind, and the scent of the fruit trees in Damascus. May they find home again.

I see alot of "Assad is bombing hospitals like Israel now" Assad's been bombing hospitals for 13 years straight, that framing somewhat implies that Israel raised the atrocity bar for Assad, essentially relieving him of the full responsibility he bears for red lines he's crossed.
