#Defiance is such a brilliant and powerful programme. Satnam Virdee and I discuss this painful history in our book 'Britain in Fragments'. So much respect to Rajesh Thind and his team for communicating this story in a new and profoundly visual way for future generations.

The higher education sector silence on the destruction of all twelve universities in Gaza is grim & will forever stain academia.

Watched #Defiance Fighting the Far Right ep 1. It is amazing, powerful & really important. It needs to be watched and added to the curriculum. I will definitely be using it in my module on racism and the far right next year.

Congratulations Rajesh Thind and everyone involved.

Gaza’s universities embodied the ambitions of young Palestinians.

In weeks, the Israeli military destroyed them.

Today, a sad day, Shardaben Chandarana's (RIP) funeral. She was a leader in the 13 wk Imperial Typrewriters strike in Leicester, against the racist practices of employers and unions. U will find her words in Amrit Wilson's book 'Finding A Voice'.

'Labour's opportunistic sanctimony is difficult to stomach. This is the definition of instrumentalisation. Racism is not a game. When a party exploits it for its own political advantage, it cheapens the accusation and deepens the cynicism.' theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

What a powerful cover page. The latest edition of the London Review of Books, published today.

Proud to have signed this letter in the The Telegraph today. London is not a ‘no go zone’ for Jews. This divisive and dangerous rhetoric must stop.

Jewish security is not in competition with Palestinian freedom. Amidst rising antisemitism and Islamophobia, we need to challenge the idea that criticism of Israel is inherently motivated by anti-Jewish prejudice.

Great to speak with BBC London

Ghassan Hage is one of the most important anthropologists today on racism, migration, multiculturalism and diaspora. I’ve been inspired by his work since the publication of White Nation in 2000 (we hosted him to speak about it at CUCR). Outrageous he’s been sacked.

Here is a list of the names we know from the more than 11,500 Palestinian children killed during Israel’s continuing war on Gaza ⤵️
