Boycott apartheid Israel's dates for Ramadan! Israeli dates help fund the genocide and ethnic cleansing of Palestine. About 80% of ‘Israeli’ dates are grown, using stolen water resources, in illegal colonial settlements on stolen Palestinian land. #BDS #FreePalestine

#Palestine: Israel's decision to ban UNRWA from East Jerusalem, which is set to be implemented today, will severely impact its activities in West Bank and Gaza and will be devastating for Palestinians and their access to healthcare.

Every so often, we catch a glimpse of the brutal realities for victims of war under colonialism. Here we have administrators raising the issue of how to establish the identity of West African veterans who are illiterate and have no fingerprints due to the loss of both hands.

Thomas Docherty taught me Cinema Studies in the 1990s. Great lecturer. This is bound to be a brilliant take on the University now.

This Excellent book argues that the idea of a collective Left was forged, not by political party leaders, but in the heterogeneous alliances bound together by antifascism. Its tale has direct relevance for concrete steps to rebuilding the left today @prisonculture.bsky.social @kmilb.bsky.social

Catching up on the acquittal of landowner Diarmuid Phelan for the killing of Keith Conlon (he shot him in the back). The precedent was set in that case of the farmer in Mayo. Where is the debate about landowner gun licenses in Ireland? Why the impunity?

Today's university getting into difficulties is the University of the West of Scotland, hit this time by a cyber attack as well as declining student numbers. Most Scottish unis' finances are deteriorating sharply, except (interestingly) UHI. www.scotsman.com/education/sc...

Build our communities. 'Europe is not my centre. Europe is an outskirt of Africa.' The towering Ousmane Sembène, film maker/writer, leading the way for us. His novel Les bouts de bois de Dieu/God's Bits of Wood (1960 tr. 1962) focuses on colonial repression most remarkably.

The last photo of Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, detained after refusing to abandon his colleagues and patients. In just one image, we see both the power of Palestinian humanity and the moral weakness of all those complicit in genocide. End all arms sales to Israel, now.

I want Palestinians to have “the dignity of ordinary days.” I cannot comprehend that we are witnessing the extermination of a people and we are unable to stop it.
