How Israel's relentless killing of over 1000 Palestinians in Gaza since October 2025 can be called a "ceasefire" is beyond me- its brainwashing. Aljazeera noted: Israel attacked Gaza on 325 of the past 361 days, leaving only 36 days with no reported attacks, deaths or injuries.

The UK government needs to get its narrative straight. Either those protesting Israel’s genocide against Palestinians and our government’s involvement are right, or they aren’t. You can’t have it both ways while continuing to arrest protesters and designate them as terrorists.

Less than two weeks before October 7, 2023, Egypt’s top spy flew to Israel to warn Netanyahu about Hamas' plans. He let it play out knowingly to implement his own genocidal plans. A cold blooded genocidaire - lives don't matter to him. www.theatlantic.com/podcasts/202...

It is abhorrent to see a génocidaire take the UN stage to give a pathetic speech celebrating Israel’s genocide against Palestinians, occupation and settler violence, blowing up Lebanese with beepers, unlawfully attacking Iran and calling the IDF the most moral army in the world. The Hague is waiting

I am appalled that @columbiauniversity.bsky.social has hired Annalena Baerbock @unpga.bsky.social as professor to teach global leadership. As German foreign minister, she has supported Israel and publicly endorsed the killing of civilians, including children. www.deutschlandfunk.de/baerbock-wir...

Jason Arday was killed by a lynch mob whose harassment drove him to death. He was made killable by an institution that exploited him to fix its structural racism, then failed its duty of care. Justice must be served, and those responsible held accountable. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Also where does this idea come from that Palestinians should face their colonisers and genociders defencelessly. Why would a group disarm if there is not a parallel plan to build a defence force. In a situation like this, state pacifism is not an option. It would be suicidal.

How come politicians believe that Hamas can put down weapons while (a) Israel is asked to withdraw stepwise (i.e., can refuse to do so at any point) and (b) there are no real protections in place that would guarantee sovereignty (i.e.,push Israeli forces back should they advance)

The unleashed racism in (social) media over the Arday case is horrendous. It has nothing to do with the case itself. Rather the latter is abused to voice white supremacist ideologies without filter and with self-righteousness. It is dangerous. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

We call on universities to:

Stop silencing people who call out the
complicity of academic institutions and the
state in genocide. Universities should be places
encouraging free debate within ethical
parameters, and as genocide is an internationa
crime, support for genocide clearly falls
outside these parameters

Actively challenge anti rights and pro genocide
activities and narratives

Support lived experience personnel tc
practically speak their truth to power about
genocide through networking and events

We wish to express our gratitude for how our
work at the LEAB has been supported and we
wish to express solidarity with others withir
the Centre and wider university who continue
to work towards ending the genocide, finding
a just peace, and accountability[6] for war
criminals.

The glee of the right over the Arday case is indicative of how unsafe academia is for Black scholars and of an attempt to erode whatever fragile safety still exists. They are having a field day while many on the left once again find what is happening too complicated to have a view.

11/ Black scholars have historically faced disproportionate scrutiny and career consequences. The double standard would be obvious if every serious plagiarism case involving a white scholar became a public scandal about whether they deserved their positions.

10/ It is important to ask why certain allegations gain public momentum, who is promoting them, and whether existing debates about race and representation influence how accusations are received.

6/ The context around the allegations against Prof Jason Arday also deserves attention. Some of the individuals making and/or amplifying these claims have themselves been involved in highly contentious debates about race, equality, and academia.

5/ If allegations are made publicly, especially against prominent academics, universities still have to protect the integrity of the process. They cannot simply conduct investigations through the court of public opinion.

Hanna Kienzler @hannakienzler.bsky.social · 04/08/2026
4/ Even when investigations conclude, outcomes are not always made public. Disclosure depends on factors such as seriousness, impact on publications, legal obligations, and institutional policies.

Hanna Kienzler @hannakienzler.bsky.social · 04/08/2026
3/ This confidentiality exists for an important reason: an allegation is not a finding of wrongdoing. Public accusations can cause lasting reputational damage before facts have been established.

Hanna Kienzler @hannakienzler.bsky.social · 04/08/2026
2/ These processes are usually confidential. They are typically known only to the complainant, the accused academic, relevant university officers, investigators, and any appropriate external bodies.

1/ At UK universities, plagiarism allegations are not normally decided through social media campaigns. They are handled through formal research integrity procedures designed to protect both the person making the allegation and the person accused.

Kosova's UÇK would never have handed in its weapons had Serbian forces remained on the ground. Weapons were handed over AFTER Serbian forces left + Thaçi had signed an agreement w NATO guaranteeing security. The expectations for the demilitarisation of Hamas are vastly different.

Some people here are writing that Israel is about to colonise Gaza. Israel is a settler-colonial state that has always colonised Palestine. What we are seeing now is a continuation of the ethnic cleansing of and genocide against Palestinians across all of Palestine.

There are different ways in which Israel carries out the death penalty. In Dr Hussam Safia's case, they are torturing him to death while withholding vital medical care. His crime: providing medical care to his Palestinian patients. This is part of Israel's genocidal playbook.
