A great essay, as always, by historian Rashid Khalidi:
'A new abyss': Gaza and the hundred years' war on Palestine

'Only 'Hindu workers' should apply' because the 'Israeli government fears the potential for pro-Palestine solidarity among Muslim Indian workers.' A remarkable Boston Review essay on Indian migrants replacing Palestinians in Israel, a modern-day indenture bostonreview.net/articles/labor…

'The suffering of Black and Palestinian people is not the same. But our liberation is inseparable,' writes Nyle Fort. buff.ly/43Or4I7

'Zone of interest' as an Ethnography of Indifference
what kind of pathologies are we developing as we are forced to live through the unbearable nightmare that is Gaza in a space where indifference to it is encouraged and routinised? hageba2a.blogspot.com/2024/03/zone-o…

Another all women march in Jordan similar to the one organized in Morocco a few days ago.

#Africa must not be reduced to a role of detention zone for Italy. The #Matteiplan looks increasingly like a proposal with fascist undertones where #Meloni would recklessly pump African gas and carelessly deport #migrants with ⁦Andrea Cellino⁩

Rached Ghannouchi’s Plight Deserves More Attention by Abdullah Gül -

“Rached Ghannouchi pursued compromise in the name of pluralism and democracy. His imprisonment should provoke far more international outrage than it has.” project-syndicate.org/commentary/rac…

Excellente tribune de Jean-François Bayart revenant sur les événements récents à #SciencesPo , l'emballement médiatique autour d'eux et leurs effets d'aubaine pour un gouvernement résolu à mettre au pas les foyers de résistance universitaires.

« En droit international, Israël ne peut pas invoquer le droit à la légitime défense contre une menace émanant d'un territoire qu'il occupe »
« Gaza n'est pas une entité autonome, elle fait partie des territoires occupés 🇵🇸 »
F. Albanese, rapporteuse spéciale de l'ONU

Gaza joins a growing list of broken cities:
- Aleppo, Derna: durably ripped apart
- Mosul, Raqqa, Falluja: barely patched up
- Tripoli, Basra, Sfax: left to decay
- Cairo, Baghdad: choking to death

The region that invented cities will stake its future on reinventing them.

⚠️ HAPPENING NOW AT THE STATUE OF LIBERTY: Hundreds of Jews and allies are holding an emergency sit-in, taking over the island to demand a ceasefire in Gaza. We refuse to allow a genocide to be carried out in our names. Ceasefire now to save lives! Never again for anyone! ⚠️

Civilians in Gaza are dying in their thousands.
Humanitarian pause or ceasefire - call it what you like - the bombardment must stop immediately for the sake of the one million children in Gaza.

#Gaza The human suffering is shocking. Thousands killed. People have limited access to food & water.

Hospitals are near collapse. Hospital corridors are full of wounded & displaced.

Destroyed infrastructure & homes will take years to rebuild.

❌ Even wars have limits.
