Sharing my latest substack, oulakadhum.substack.com/p/hierarchie... I discuss here hierarchies of rage amidst Western media and how it can be read as implicated in imperial agendas and complicit in state policies. Now more than ever we need responsible and conscientious journalism.

BBC coverage is appalling. No mention of illegality of Trump’s plan No mention of why Hamas have delayed the release. The last sentence is so misleading. As though Hamas have not released any hostages.

Scapegoating refugees has always been a deliberate ploy by governments to distract from their own domestic failures. Pandering to Reform UK will backfire — and vulnerable people will pay the price. End dangerous crossings by opening safe routes for fellow human beings instead.

For those who continue to deny that Trump and the MAGA GOP's objection to asylum-seekers and refugees isn't racist, check out which group, out of all the conflicts on earth, Trump has made a very special refugee resettlement for. Yep. White South Africans. Beyond parody.

When will Govt learn you can’t out-Reform Reform - you end up simply legitimising their toxic narrative. To see off populists, Labour needs to invest in public services & local communities, making a real difference to people’s lives - levy a wealth tax & use it to improve people’s lives now

Israel is building military bases in the Syrian territory it occupied after the fall of Assad. Soldiers have also set up checkpoints, closed roads, raided houses, displaced residents and fired on protesters who have demonstrated against their presence. www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/0...

Unfortunately most people won’t see the correction and will believe and tout this nonsense because it came from the likes of the Telegraph and Times. The absurd figure will stick in people’s heads and play on their fears/racist attitudes. That’s how propaganda works.

So grateful for this piece by @nesrinemalik.bsky.social commemorating the children of Gaza, and humanising Palestinians and their suffering. The words we’ve all felt and have been longing to read in our mainstream papers.

This is the cost of not providing safe routes for migrants. People who are desperate will try more dangerous routes. This is not a tragedy, it’s a result of European migration policies.

Gaza is just seaside real estate with potential to these people. Not someone’s home, identity, land, and life. This is pure psychopathy.

Agree. Jordan is beyond stretched as it is with Iraqi and Syrian refugees in the last few decades. Jordan would not be able to cope in terms of infrastructure, public services, let alone the pressure from Jordanian society.

There is something hugely revealing in the rage that her kindness has provoked. A real “HOW DARE YOU MAKE ME LOOK AT MYSELF?” vibe. And something immensely powerful in her continuing to show them up, by insisting on being kind. A beam of light piercing through. Great interview, @maddow.msnbc.com.

Please go and see ‘From Ground Zero’ showcasing 22 films from Gaza from Nov 2023-May 2024. Amidst the mass death and devastation what struck me was the human spirit and its need to create, laugh and make music even in the most existential of times. Not an easy film to watch, but necessary.

Aside from the sheer hypocrisy of Oakeshott’s views. It’s interesting how Westerners are referred to as expats while people from the Global majority are referred to as immigrants. What Oakeshott means to say is that Dubai is 90 percent migrants and immigrants.

This brave and moving message from the bishop to Trump to show mercy on migrants and LGBT people not only fell on deaf ears, but you can literally see Vance scoffing. Awful response from Trump. #Trump #bishop www.bbc.co.uk/news/videos/...

Feels like Jo Biden has handed the carte blanche baton to Trump. As one left with a ceasefire in Gaza, the other now sprints to annex the West Bank.
