"From Cairo’s parade routes to Louvre Abu Dhabi’s exhibition halls, the Egyptian past is staged as an investment asset or negotiating chip in diplomatic relations. The real cost—displacement, demolition, and historical loss—is treated as collateral."

“Europe, in its entirety, has become one of the major arenas in which the Israeli-Palestinian conflict plays out, especially in the realm of public opinion. It is a substantial part of Europe’s own identity—its interpretation of the past and the shaping of its future—that is now at stake.”
Full program of the canceled conference here. There is absolutely nothing problematic in there.
But as Patrick Wolfe shows, Zionism requires the "elimination of the native" not only in the present, but also in the past 2/

Don’t ever quote “academic freedom” in response to the the academic boycott of Israel. There is no academic freedom wherever the long arm of Zionist pressure reaches.
5 days ago, the Collège de France advertised the very conference they subsequently, and cowardly, canceled due to tantrums thrown by anti-Palestinian racists who condone a genocidal, settler colonial project 👇

Every accusation is a confession
NEW📍Israeli soldier hosted by Students Supporting Israel - a group at Toronto Metropolitan University - reshared a story on Instagram admitting he was the one who smashed the glass. He cut his own arm & then played victim. Instead of doing any investigating, Canadian media ran with his narrative.
