What should we do about those who are in prison for the thought crime of knowing this too soon? Those who died because the UN and the BBC wouldn’t say it? Since telling the truth was criminalised, what should happen to those who criminalised it and enabled this genocide with their lies??

Let’s chat about how Fortress Europe and genocidal Israel share a narrative about the ancient past. 🏺

It really says something serious about the state of history on Brexit Island that the first woman to lead the judiciary of England and Wales since its inception in the 13th century apparently thinks the Suffragettes sat around having tea parties and asking for the vote nicely 🙈

Anyone up for a little chat about how Buddhist nationalism and Zionism share a structure for their visions of the ancient past? There’s more info in my book, coming soon, of course, but for now here is a little taster 🏺📚

A little compilation marking Nakba Day. The Nakba is not over. The Nakba is still happening right now, and before we can commemorate it we need to engineer a world where it is actually in the past not the present (and where Palestine is free). 🗝️🇵🇸
