the smh has depicted us as a virus today. This directly reflects the genocidal tradition of depicting target populations as a disease (or vermin).

University staff and NTEU branches can sign onto this call for a campus National Day of Action in solidarity with Palestine and opposing this repression on March 26 docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F…

We are silenced and punished because we speak up against this.

The intellectually dishonest definition of antisemitism adopted by Australian universities has basically loaded a gun and pointed it at Palestinian and Arab academics first and foremost. The only way we are permitted to exist as Palestinian and Arab in the academy is if we acquiesce to genocide, occupation, apartheid and settler colonialism. We are expected to bear witness silently, to surrender to the blows dealt on us and not name our oppressor, occupier, genocider. This is a shameful capitulation that not only betrays the core principles of intellectual freedom but exposes the contempt with which Palestinian and Arab lives are held. We have never been safe.

.@abcnews gonna report on ShirionOrg, the Israeli group who allegedly broke #BankstownHospital story? Last year they were seeking spies to infiltrate #FreePalestine rallies to collect information on Australians. Recently sent a death threat to an Australian Jew and her child.

So who is the criminal here? The person who has carried out crimes of genocide, war crimes, crimes against humanity, who brushes off killing Palestinians and serves the occupation, or the victims and their families subjected to material, genocidal violence?

Israeli media claimed that Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, director of Kamal Adwan Hospital, was set for release today in the sixth batch of the exchange deal. Yedioth Ahronoth reported his release despite his name not being on the official list.

⚡️JUST IN: Israeli settlers poisoned water in the Bireen area, south of Hebron [AlKhalil], leading to the death of 16 sheep owned by Palestinians.

This honestly needs to be said. This a country beholden to an agenda, artificially created and manipulated by a certain demographic. We are being held to ransom by this demographic, their intelligence agencies here and abroad, and their belief they can poison social cohesion, by blaming Arabs and Muslims in the process. This is an app where people talk shit, then move on to the next person that joins the stream. Nothing more, nothing less. And that’s why I’m never going to condemn the two nurses. This Israeli agitator also recorded this encounter - and as we’ve found out yesterday, he was an IOF soldier, along with a stint at Unit 8200. And we know exactly what that entails. Sarah and Ahmad do not deserve to lose their jobs. Solidarity and support to them. A year of genocide and there’s no way we’re going to fall for Zionist propaganda and games.

Looking at the Oliver-Taylor affidavit, the phrase “fragmentation of social cohesion” was already being used as “code” for “Palestine supporters must be silenced” in Dec 2023. #lattouf

One of the 20 women still languishing in an Israeli prison is a 22 year old US citizen named Shaden Qous. Shaden is studying law at Birzeit University. She is an artist and a dancer. She was abducted by Israeli armed forces on January 6 and has been in an Israeli prison ever since. #FreeShaden #FreeThemAll

Zionism is indefensible—whether it is political or “cultural.”
