Dr. Ghassan Abu Sitta recieves hero's welcome outside German Embassy in London tonight. #WeAccuseGermany #PalaestinaKongress #b1402

I happy to announce that I was reinstated! The investigation did not find any evidence of discriminatory harassment.

I'm not sure of the outcome yet, but today my students read a few articles about mis/disinfo on twitter after M*sk & then analyzed the community notes policy & offered their own improvements. Then they had to choose a M*usk tweet and write up their own community note!

Germany can no longer be considered as a fully democratic country that respects freedom of speech

I see multiple references to (legit) antisemitism concerns, with vague allusions to movements for justice in Palestine. By contrast, I see no references to the right-wing govt-in-formation or the many politicians, media, and institutions actively conflating all Jews and Israel

Send money to a genocidal regime so we can support a country against a different genocidal regime.

During the massacre at al-Shifa Hospital, the Israeli army shot patients in their beds and doctors who refused to abandon the sick, separated people into groups with differently-colored bracelets, and executed hundreds of civil government employees.

The only attack I saw was that woman putting her hands on the grad student.

Today, the whole school went to see the play The Far Country (abt the Chinese Exclusion Act & Angel Island) at Berkeley Rep. It was an amazing play and also very emotional to reflect on the impact of immigration and exclusion across generations.

I have so much respect for these students (covered faces just in case)

Yes, all of this. All the expectation that it's faculty (& no one else's) load to bear.

Is Richard a horrible human being? I'd say yes.

I showed my students the section of the ICJ proceedings where South Africa speaks to genocidal intent. Many of them commented they had no idea the extent of genocidal action & rhetoric. And others couldn't understand how the Q of genocide was disputed.

Lol I use the word delve.

this man, Shai Davidai, has relentlessly bullied me for months. I begged him to leave me alone bc I lost family & he refused. Columbia University has done nothing. I’ll get more threats from his followers after this but I’m done being bullied. #FireShai

Hi Jenny,

Thx for the kind words. I do know about the $100K. This # feels insignificant in comparison to your CEO's $500K salary and PEN America's $43 million in assets. The prize you longlisted me for is a $75K. Surely, any Palestinian writer could use this money more than I.

Israeli forces invaded the funeral tent erected by Walid Daqqa’s family in Baqa al Gharbiyeh yesterday, kidnapping 5 people and dismantling the tent.
As Israel withholds the martyr’s body, the state also insists on refusing the family—Israeli citizens—the right to mourn.

Shame on Hunter College for firing my friend and colleague Lisa Hofmann-Kuroda for expressing her views on Palestine on her social media account. Your actions deprive your students from learning from a principled educator and translator is one of the very few equipped to
