NYU and Columbia both use their history of student radicalism as branding exercises to market themselves to the very students they are now unleashing the cops on. Selling themselves as Social Justice University and bragging about their “radical history” is part of their PR. 3/
The girl behind the photo. A reminder that Palestinians killed by Israel are not just numbers or white shrouds. They were once smiling 5 year olds who once hoped for peace. ✌🏽 💔😞

I actually think it’s fine if academics only write for each other and if you’ve ever glanced at a STEM journal you’d know this is already the de facto case and it only becomes a talking point because of a notion of the humanities as fundamentally unrigorous
The fact that this still keeps being debated is in and of itself proof that it's a lost cause to try and police how people use a word.

New arena of (gentle) rivalry: Qatar has promoted academic study of its pre-Islamic and early Islamic history, sponsoring two major books on the topic, but the UAE too, with many studies of various sites in this book of conference papers: archaeopress.com/Archaeopress/P…

This anecdote from Ibn al-Athir's chronicle nicely corroborates the data from NASA's catalog for the eclipse of 11 April 1176 CE. You can see that his location, Cizre (today on the border of Turkey, Syria and Iraq) was within the path of totality. eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov/SEsearch/SEsea…

You have to understand, in war there are simply lines you cannot cross. Israel has a right to defend itself but we’re talking about killing people who worked for the man who literally introduced the refined but authentic Spanish style tapas restaurant concept to DC

I only mourn the deaths of innocents when the Israeli government tells me it’s ok to mourn the deaths of innocents.
Less than 24 hours since the murder of these aid works in Gaza and I'd say we're already about 5/7ths of the way through the routine.
Israel is transparently trying to get foreign aid/workers out of Gaza so that it can complete its genocide uninterrupted and at this stage-frankly-whoever does not see this is either a bad faith actor or delusional.

There’s a food influencer I used to follow on TikTok from Gaza who did reviews of restaurants and dishes there. He disappeared for months after the war but now he’s back making cooking videos using things from aid packages for kids in the refugee encampments:
I happened to teach about him briefly in a class last semester! (officially, Palestinians are typically ineligible for conversion to Judaism)

People like this appear sincerely to believe the meaning of the Shoah is that Adolf Hitler wrote Israel a blank check
A 🧵 on today's horrifying @theIPCinfo report on famine in Gaza. In my 25 years as a humanitarian this may be, pound for pound, the grimmest analysis I have ever seen. All the more indefensible since the December projections made clear this was coming. ipcinfo.org/ipcinfo-websit…

They see the studied irony of older people for what it is: a trap. They know that smartness and technocratic expertise is overrated.
They know bullshit & hypocrisy when they see it. They recognize the defeat of older generations like mine, & reject it to make their own way. They know that contradictions are opportunities & are not afraid to encourage them.
As a teacher, I am in awe. Our students have done the reading. They’ve discussed the material thoroughly & in depth, both in class & outside. They are not regurgitating anyone’s lectures. They are not asking “will this be on the final exam?” They know diplomas are made of paper.
Understandable, you’re just a NYTimes reporter. Columbia students made a handy map for you though.
My main concern with the campus protests isn’t the protests themselves, it is that I do not entirely understand the order of operations here.
Incredible stuff.
I was listening to Gilles Kepel yesterday at some Policy Exchange event (lol) and he was talking about the forced closing of anti-Islamophobia organisations in France. In his own words: "sometimes, repression works". And it was almost surprising to hear the quiet part out loud.
don’t forget, tickets are available to see professor pinker on may 3 as he participates in “dissident dialogues: a place for dangerous ideas” where he will be discussing the importance of freedom of expression
And here’s Columbia’s website, boasting about the student radicalism of 1968 and promising that the university is “a far different place today.” It notes that the fallout of calling the cops on students “dogged Columbia for years.” How prescient. news.columbia.edu/content/new-pe…
Here’s this from NYU’s website, promising students “a world of activism opportunities” and talking about the university’s rich history of student radicalism. Just nauseating, incandescent levels of hypocrisy and cynicism. 4/ meet.nyu.edu/life/student-a…
Remember this
NYU and Columbia both use their history of student radicalism as branding exercises to market themselves to the very students they are now unleashing the cops on. Selling themselves as Social Justice University and bragging about their “radical history” is part of their PR. 3/

I don't want to fully theorize this yet, but it is kind of weird that the biggest story in the US about Israel / Palestine is about college campuses when there are multiple mass graves being uncovered and constant bombardment in Gaza right now ("as we tweet").
Nothing I can do about Schopenhauer. His mom already murdered him.
@jonathanbfine Honestly, the fact that people are talking about Kant at all is a win in my book. Keep up any and all jokes! (Also do something about Schopenhauer - he is like way too pessimistic and he is totally bumming me out.)
When we say this battle is for universal liberation, we are neither exaggerating nor being dramatic—this fight determines the kind of world you and your children will live in.
These genocidal necro-calculations were long in the making. It started in 2006, as it is often the case, as a "dilemma," in which Walzer in reality had no dilemma, since he was thinking as an occupying military, thinking as a state. In "War Fair. The Ethics of Battle" he wrote:
This is where decades of chin stroking has gotten Walzer in all his philosophizing about ‘just war:’ “not a bad ratio.” At the end of the day, it really is just war. Nice epitaph for a life’s work: “Not a bad ratio.”
Michael Walzer, justifying genocide through the logic of human shielding: "It's not easy for me to say such a thing, but if there were almost 10,000 Hamas fighters among the 30,000 Palestinians killed, it’s not a bad ratio for such a war on urban terrain" zeit.de/zeit-magazin/l…
If an entire life studying *just war theory* yields the judgment that killing 20k civilians in order to kill 10k combatants is "not a bad ratio," then what good was your philosophy? Do not utilitarian wonks, calculating politicians, & hard bitten militarists think just the same?
Really enjoying re-reading this gem of a book.
