We should not need Gaza to condemn Russia, nor Ukraine to condemn Israel.

On Evidence-based work, and the Policy-Research Dialogue
What a room full of peace and conflict researchers say about evidence-based decision making, and why it matters for anyone trying to work in conflict and post-conflict sittings.

15 km. @lidingoloppet. I ran with Palestine on my chest and Gaza on my mind. Every step for those who can no longer run. Every breath for those who were denied theirs.

NAZA, the Palestinians and the Unending Epistemic Injustice
From my experience, Palestinians have been intentionally or unintentionally undermined as knowers for a long time

‘De westerse media zijn een belangrijk en integraal onderdeel van de #genocide in Gaza.' Ik interviewde onderzoeker Abdalhadi Alijla over zijn familie in Gaza, zijn positie als Palestijnse intellectueel in diaspora, en over de gevolgen van de genocide voor Europa rightsforum.org/in-gaza-vrag...

‘Memory is resistance’, schrijft de Palestijnse politicoloog Abdalhadi Alijla voorin zijn memoires. De wijk Shuja’iyye in Gaza-stad waar hij opgroeide, bestaat niet meer.

Mijn interview met @abdalhadi.bsky.social voor @therightsforum.bsky.social : ‘Gaza is nu het centrum van de wereld geworden. Het is de plek waar het internationaal recht, mensenrechten, democratie en het Europese morele paradigma worden vernietigd.’

Who can speak for the Palestinians?!
What if the same arguments used by many today had been used in the 1980s, when Edward Said was a leading Palestinian intellectual voice in the West?

They are Palestinians, and they are presented as experts on the subject. That gives them credibility and creates the sense that they should be believed because they have epistemic authority. But they are not necessarily experts.

Nadim Bawalsa, associate editor of JPS, facilitated a conversation with the authors: Abdalhadi Alijla, Hala Alyan, Tareq Baconi, and Mai Serhan. The webinar, “The New Palestinian Memoir,” delved into the myriad themes that emerge from the books and the authors’ distinct yet overlapping experiences

It was a pleasure to speak about my book at the The American Book Center in Amsterdam and meet such an engaged audience. Thank you to everyone who joined, asked thoughtful questions. I’m grateful to ABC for hosting this conversation and for supporting engaging with the Palestinian narrative.

Do not expect me to respect any academic who was silent in the first few months of the genocide and suddenly started to write academically about Gaza. They are just opportunistic, and bigots.

I have never been this pessimistic about what is going to happen. I have said it before, and I am saying it again: what happened in Iraq in 2003 and its consequences will be only 5% at most of what is going to happen… sadly.

La riflessione è guidata anche dalla sua esperienza personale, tra lutti e perdite irrimediabili. Sfidando il silenzio dell’Europa e richiamando i Paesi occidentali alla loro responsabilità, ragiona su ciò che sarà della sua terra d’origine, oggi nuovamente oscurata.

Wall of shame. What a true and real academic with morale compass accepts a prize from a state committing genocide? Shame on all of them. Shame on them
