Replying to @BarackObama
1. Israelis have families, but Palestinians apparently don't. 2. Israelis are named as Israelis, but Palestinians are just "people". 3. It's apparently a conflict, not an occupation, siege or genocide. 4. Israeli soldiers enforcing a murderous siege on Gaza are apparently hostages, not prisoners of war. 5. Bothsidesing the perpetrators and victims of a genocide. You are toxic, Mr. Obama, one of the greatest disappointments of our generation.

Trump did not cause the climate crisis - it was already locked in. But he will massively accelerate it. On #politicslive yesterday.

Diep respect voor het gereden parcours van @carogennez als minister van Ontwikkelingssamenwerking.
"Als minister van Ontwikkelingssamenwerking vocht ik binnen de EU slechts voor één kant, die van de slachtoffers. Ik kon helaas niet verhinderen dat het internationaal recht op het kapblok kwam." @carogennez: "Dit is mijn getuigenis" 👇 sampol.be/2024/11/mijn-strij…

German academia disgraces itself again. All solidarity with @Camila_Vergara for standing up against apartheid and genocide
My public lecture at the Institute of Political Science @TUDarmstadt has been CANCELED due to my statements against apartheid in Israel and genocide in Gaza. Here I share the email I received and my response to faculty. There is no academic freedom in Germany. 👇

Morgen, tijdens de museumnacht, zouden onze rebellen actievoeren in het Rijksmuseum om een direct einde te eisen aan de sponsorrelatie met ING. In reactie daarop heeft het Rijks besloten dicht te blijven. Het museum beweert dat dit noodzakelijk is vanwege ‘bedreiging’. [1/4]

“The revenge agenda, as inferred earlier, might also include selectively withholding or impounding funding from a university or from specific programmes, as well as using the authority of federal agencies, like the Office for Civil Rights, to selectively target institutions”

Donderdag 14 november protesteren we tussen 13.00 en 15.00 in Utrecht. We verzamelen bij het Moreelsepark. We hebben één boodschap: de bezuinigingen op het hoger onderwijs zijn schadelijk voor heel Nederland. We vragen alle deelnemers om het doel van ons protest te respecteren.
