Why protest when it is (seemingly) not working? We draw on social psychological theories & organizing experience to reflect on why people keep protesting for Palestine despite repression & lack of tangible wins - arguing for an expanded notion of collective efficacy. Links in🧵
Exciting new paper with @JasperVanAssche and @spyasin explores Meta-Humanization's influence on conciliatory attitudes & intergroup negotiation. Read more about the mediating roles of attribution of secondary emotions & blatant dehumanization: [sciencedirect.com/science/articl…]
Social and Personality Psychology Faculty Statement on Student Protests for Justice in Palestine (a 🧵with my thoughts)

The renowned Italian Marxist Antonio Gramsci died on this day in 1937. The English translation of his “Prison Notebooks” allowed a profound unorthodox Marxism to spread worldwide.

“200 days of Israel systematically wiping Gaza from the earth, 505 bombs a day, with the active complicity of the EU who increased the flow of weapons to Israel tenfold!
European values: same as it always was, murder & colonialism.”
—Irish MEP Clare Daly
So, given that the Israeli government has lied on this important issue, as well as on various other occasions (as has been documented by even western media), when will western media start to approach Israeli government as an unreliable source? Palestinian lives depend on this!

The insanity continues! To be clear, there are two important issues here and both deserve fill media attention:
- state repression of free speech on U.S. campuses
- the genocide in Gaza

As an academic from Turkey who has a PhD from the US & has been working in Germany for 8 years I can say that the struggle for academic freedom is a global issue. No country is a safe heaven. So our best bet would be to unite our forces in calling for freedom of expression.
I feel sick watching this video — she was intervening on excessive force asking “what are you doing?” protecting presumably a student. We’ve seen men choked to death in this country.
And the professor here has been charged with battery!!
This is what fascism looks like.

Academics typically claim a commitment to ending the violence they write on. We reviewed experimental Social Psychology publications on Palestine and found an emerging tradition that distorts, obscures, and reproduces violence against Palestinians. bpspsychub.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/bj…
Why is it hard to comprehend?
In the face of clear-cut transgressions (here, a government's complicity in materially enabling a genocide), repression and delegitimisation towards protesters fuel further protests and radical confrontations.
Salute to these brave faculty members!

Social psychology: Dispassionate objectivity during a genocide of Palestinians will not save us from, or prepare us for, the agents of oppression that are resurgent in this moment.

Even though I was never so much interested in cognitive psych, Daniel Dennett's writings have significantly influenced my thinking especially regarding free will. Massive loss. But his influence will be everlasting. Rest in the light.

EU's hypocrisy would've been less egregious if it didn't claim human dignity, freedom, democracy, the rule of law, and human rights as core values.
However, it's utterly despicable when EU engages in the same dick moves it criticises other regimes for.
The bastion of posing 🤮
