Gaza solidarity encampment at Newcastle University

Newcastle student Gaza solidarity encampment has begun!

.@qmul is happy to put Nadera's prolific scholarship forward for the REF and benefit from it, but won't condemn her being detained and tortured.

This is really important for the #northeastmayoralelection . There is no risk in voting for Jamie Driscoll (Mayor Jamie Driscoll) and splitting the left vote. If you want an independent left wing mayor here, we can have one: Reform and the Tories are miles off. Vote Jamie Driscoll!

“The only democracy in the Middle East” arrests Palestinian feminist academic for speaking truth. Free Nadera. Free them all.

Apparently a lot of academics need to be reminded that ‘neutrality,’ ‘staying out of it,’ ‘it’s complicated,’ ‘both sides are wrong,’ ‘we shouldn’t politicise things,’ etc etc means you’re absolutely taking a side. At least own it.
