Irish Republican poster issued during the Troubles (1988) showing a map of Ireland with images celebrating international struggles in North America, Palestine, Central America and South Africa.

Luckily, this innocent baby girl survived an Israeli airstrike which targeted a house in Rafah last night. She still suffered minor bruises.

Israel today assassinated the eldest daughter of our Professor Refaat Al-Areer (Refaat in Gaza 🇵🇸), Al-Shaimaa, along with her husband and newborn baby. I am out of words, tears, and ways to comprehend this endless loss, this pain, this criminal annihilation of our people.

It’s really gratifying to see writers we’ve been excited about get the acknowledgment they deserve from literary prizes, most recently Colin Barrett, Noreen Masud, Isabella Hammad, Tom Crewe, V.V. (Sugi) Ganeshananthan and Claire Kilroy. Congratulations!

It’s worth reminding those critical of the student protests raging across the US: Gaza no longer has universities. Every single university in Gaza has been bombed into oblivion. Hundreds of academics, scholars, professors, & students have been killed since Oct. 7. #scholasticide
