Huda Ammori: "This is a.. victory both for our fundamental freedoms here in Britain & in the struggle for freedom for the Palestinian people, striking down a decision that will forever be remembered as one of the most extreme attacks on free speech in recent British history"

“Four of my children just evaporated,” Badran said, holding back tears. “I looked for them a million times. Not a piece was left. Where did they go?”

There are no words to adequately describe the evil here.
Israel used weapons in Gaza that made thousands of Palestinians evaporate
US-made thermal weapons burning at 3,500C caused 2,842 people to "evaporate" in Gaza, Al Jazeera investigation finds.

“no one who has witnessed over two years of genocide in Gaza is likely to disagree with either Hammad or Said that the intellectual class has utterly failed to fulfill its social function”

"What is the task of the intellectual at a time when, at the heart of liberal democracies, genocide is normalized and protest suppressed?"

Imagine having so little shame that you would then fire someone for pointing out that publicly smearing anti-genocide students for protesting Ezra Klein is wrong.
Immediately concedes this was a smear with no substance behind it whatsoever.

The video is based on 70 testimonies from women experiencing starvation in Gaza, gathered together in this report. Extraordinarily important work
