I expect the IOF will be shooting at the sky now! Hamas will be hiding in the clouds and the rain water is antisemitic. Clearly.

An exceptional tribute See thread Refعat’s haunting poem translated into just about every language, from Urdu, Marathi, Filipino, Pashtu, Swahili, Somali, to Italian, Dutch, Galician, Albanian, Spanish, German and many more. And of course his native Arabic. But no Hebrew. Yet.

Came across Dr. Refaat Alareer's poem "If I must die" just a few days ago, I cried and couldn't help but translated it to Chinese without his permission. Now that he's gone.

The trains from Birmingham are absolutely packed (buses laid on to go to London demo already full). At every stop there are loads of people with Palestinian flags and Tshirts trying to get on the train. No room 🙈 @itranslate123 @ramialfarra @asoueif @Art4PalestineUK @rrgould

I am an academic and I call for a free Palestine and an end to the Israeli state's apartheid. This is integral to both my moral world view and my scholarship. Pass it on.

All those who are now silent, worried about their positions, grants, or potential 'tension' with colleagues who hide behind 'neutrality'. Think: will you ever recover from the stain of silence over a genocide in which all our institutions and governments are complicit?

A released Palestinian prisoner says in Arabic that Israel held them in the cold w/o electricity, "sprayed us w/ pepper spray" & "left us to die." She never mentioned Hamas or a word like it. Yet @BBC translated to: "No one helped us. Only Hamas cared...We love them very much."

Thank you for reviving this ‘discussion’. I hope everyone who called for ‘boycotting’ me and the journal because they disagree with boycotting a genocidal state are now proud of their complicity in genocide. The racism and dehumanization of Palestinians cannot be more obvious!
