I wrote this for Electronic Intifada on the martyrdom of Refaat Alareer and the parallels between him and his fellow martyr, Ghassan Kanafani, in both life and death. electronicintifada.net/content/what-e…

Extremely proud. Refaat was hilarious especially when he mocked the countless deranged and sick Zionist lies like the appalling fabrication that Palestinians baked a Jewish baby. Eternal shame on those who make up atrocity tales to justify genocide.

Tonight I mourn a dear friend and brilliant writer, Refaat Alareer, killed in cold blood by the Zionist genocidaires. We will keep your honorable memory in our hearts and on our tongues, always. And we will never cede a solitary inch to your murderers.

A thread on how it feels to be an anti-Zionist medievalist in our field, as one of the only Palestine advocates in medieval studies. I know I have no platform on here anymore but I can’t hold my tongue any longer.

Palestinians are experiencing a kind of hell that most people in the West can't even begin to imagine. They don't need moralism or reproof from professional leftists. They need robust defense of their struggle for liberation. Offer that or shut the fuck up altogether.

Refaat in Gaza 🇵🇸(@itranslate123) 's Twitter Profile Photo

Israel has killed two more of my students Omar (left) Omar L. Al-tabatiby and Ali Al-Tabatiby Ali 🇵🇸.

Omar, one of the most creatively hard working people I have met, was mercilessly massacred along with his wife Tasnim Haniya and little daughter Nariman and other family members.…

People in Gaza occasionally pop up to notify the world that they're still alive--or to announce that loved ones are dead--and for anyone with an ounce of compassion it's agonizing to witness this dreadful version of life and death that Zionism imposes on its victims.

For years I've been warning about the inherent depravity of US electoralism and now here we are, at its logical endpoint: vote for the guy curating a genocide against your people or else your sorry ass will be deported.

The Palestinian people don't simply deserve aid; they deserve sustenance.

The Palestinian people don't simply deserve rights; they deserve liberation.

The Palestinian people don't simply deserve to live; they deserve life.

All the carnage you're now seeing in Gaza is precisely the result of Israel's existence, so maybe take this opportunity to quit asking Palestinians that stupid-ass question we've been hearing our entire lives.

It it deeply unsettling to watch NGO’s fundraise millions of dollars in the name of Palestinian suffering - but then refuse to mobilize their base to withhold donations & votes from those championing our deaths. A protest in their office won’t hold them accountable for genocide.

Consider for a second the moral assumptions of a political philosophy that insists on voting for genocidaires rather than making genocidaires accountable to their victims. (Or: hell no I won't vote for Joe Biden.)

Now that (even moderate) pro-Palestine sentiment has been effectively outlawed in both the public and private sectors, I hope we can soon say goodbye to the Western myth of “free speech” from which so many reactionaries built their careers.

I hope Westerners now understand that Palestinians have no choice in how Israel behaves.

It kills when we're calm. It kills when we're upset.

It kills when we're active. It kills when we rest.

Death is Israel's only answer to our presence on this earth.
