Never thought I’d see my academic colleagues in the United States arrested because of their opinions. Any one of us w/ a shred of consistency on free speech & authoritarianism would rightly deplore this behaviour in undemocratic regimes globally. A shameful day for my country.

Media: stop talking about Israel’s plan to “evacuate” Rafah. Israel is going to **forcibly displace** from their homes & refuges, under threat of DEATH, 1 million men/women/children, many of whom have already been displaced multiple times. 1/
Israeli strikes on Iran appear to have begun. “Two U.S. officials confirm to CBS News that an Israeli missile has hit Iran...Officials were tightlipped about the location or extent of the Israeli strike.” cbsnews.com/news/israel-ir…
Israel has long acted like a rogue state with zero consequences from its allies. The difference now is that far more people than ever before can see it
Discussing the Iranian attack during #SkyPapers, @rachshabi points out: "11 schoolchildren died today by an Israeli drone. What did they do? How are they a threat?"
Tonight on the Press Preview @annabotting is joined by guests @HCH_Hill and @rachshabi to discuss the headlines: 🔴 Rishi Sunak's smoking ban 🔴 Police breaking up a right-wing conference 🔴 Israel's response to Iran's attack 🕘 10:30pm #SkyPapers 📺 Sky 501/ YouTube
Civilian deaths in Gaza rival those of Darfur – which the US called a ‘genocide’ | Alan J Kuperman theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
I can’t stress enough how widely it is understood in DC’s foreign policy and security establishment that civilian suffering, death, and famine is part of Israel’s Gaza policy and yet so few will publicly say so because they fear for their careers. This is how corruption works.
I will be speaking about Palestinian identity on the BBC World Service Radio tomorrow (Sun 14 April) at 8:30am (London time) in conversation with wonderful @rachshabi. We will speak about the below essay, its reception and the impact it is having. bbc.co.uk/programmes/w17…

This is such a powerful and important interview
In the past six months the Israeli state has done in Gaza exactly what its political leaders said if would. None of this was unforeseen or unknowable
When antisemitism is invoked to police criticism of Israel, this is not actually fighting antisemitism. It is turning antisemitism into the subject of an ugly fight between left and right

The only thing I can say about the 'ashkenormative' discussion is, whether it is liked or not, when it has come to talking about Jews and their history, it *has* tended to be from an Ashkenazi and European lens. This *has* dominated how the story of Jews is told and understood.
Let’s see if the rockets on Iran are a (reckless and dangerous) distraction about what is happening in Rafah. Eyes on Gaza.

Recently I’ve seen people with huge followings here state that reasonable criticism of Israel is ‘Jew hatred’ and ‘blood libel’. It really, really isn’t antisemitic to object to Israel starving people and massacring children and murdering aid workers.
Every single UK politics show is like "why has the public's trust in politicians hit a 40-year low? 🧐 It's a weird mystery 😕 Next we'll be rolling up our sleeves with Keir Starmer as he looks back over his top 10 lies"
'Those pledges were to get him through that leadership election and job done' On the fourth anniversary of his leadership election win, Politico UK Editor, Rosa Prince, says Sir Keir Starmer sometimes changes his plan based on his goal. #Newsnight

This shouldn’t depend on the Rafah operation. Given the already incontrovertible evidence that Israel is violating both US and international law by restricting humanitarian aid, Biden is legally obligated to suspend military aid *now.* He’s just refusing to do it.
Sen. Chris Coons, a key Biden ally in the Senate, supports conditions on military aid to Israel *if* Israel launches a major operation in Rafah without providing enough civilian protections
The last six months have brought stark daily reminders that some lives simply don't count, and that the universalism professed by so many politicians, and so much of the press, is sheer cant. Its demonstration at this scale feels like a fundamental political shift.

“I chose journalism to be close to the people. It might not be easy to change the reality, but at least I could bring their voice to the world.” Shireen Abu Akleh would have been 53 today. A reminder that Israel's killing of journalists isn't new.
Absolutely heartbreaking news. Veteran Al Jazeera correspondent Shireen Abu Akleh has passed away after being in shot in the head by Israeli forces while reporting on an Israeli army raid on a refugee camp in Jenin, occupied West Bank. She was wearing a press vest at the time.
