Hammam is a volunteer nurse in gaza, giving his all daily without pay to save lives. But now, his own family needs our help. They lost everything and are homeless, and his epileptic brother urgently needs medical treatment. Let's support them. Every donation counts: chuffed.org/project/1844...

Agree, and in ALL CAPS: DON'T PUNCH DOWN ON YOUR STUDENTS For the record (and I tell my students this): My average at the mid-point of my 1A term was my shoe size (7; yes, as in 7%). By end of 1B, it was 59% - putting me on academic probation but getting to 59% was a good trajectory so I stayed.

This really is the fundamental rule of using social media as a professor. Badmouthing your students for likes is a breach of trust. It can get back to them, even on platforms with privacy settings. It’s bullying, it’s bad pedagogy, and it’s generally a shitty thing to do. Don’t do it!

Endlessly fascinating, the transparent mendacity of Israeli hasbara. “Why has self-deception become an indispensable tool in the trade of image-making, and why should it be worse, for the world as well as for the liar himself, if he is deceived by his own lies than if he merely deceives others?”

Teaching slide:

The Modern Lie
Alexandre Koyré. The Political Function of the Modern Lie, 1943
"Never has there been so much lying as in our day. Never has lying been so shameless, so systematic, so unceasing."
Koyré 1.

"Why has self-deception become an indispensable tool in the trade of image-making, and why should it be worse, for the world as well as for the liar himself, if he is deceived by his own lies than if he merely deceives others? …

if the modern political lies are so big that they require a complete rearrangement of the whole factual texture - the making of another reality, as it were, into which they will fit without seam, crack, or fissure, exactly as the facts fitted into their own original context, what prevents these new stories, images, and non-facts from becoming an adequate substitute for reality and factuality?"

At the end of the day, the Canadian government's Campus Antisemitism and Student Experiences (CASE) study is propaganda politics laundered as legitimate social science by Canadian scholars. We break down all the methodological flaws in this work of professional malpractice 👇.

To make definitively broad generalizations grounded in a small, biased selection sample is an unacceptable error, yet this is something the authors of this report repeatedly do, such as when they assert, “95.7% said they had experienced or witnessed at least one instance of antisemitism over the previous 12 months” without providing a caveat such as “of those surveyed” or a strong note on the limitations of the report’s methodology. This finding of 95 percent has, predictably, been repeated ad nauseam in the media. In fact, the authors of the report have admitted that among the very small number of respondents who indicated Zionism was not important at all to them, 92 percent said their campus was safe and inclusive for Jewish students, a finding that directly contradicts the thesis that it is Jewishness, rather than the state policy of Israel, that is the object of critique on campuses.

The 95 and 92 percent figures, taken together, index a larger problem: the incentive for participants to articulate experiences that align with broader political projects in a moment of profound polarization. It is clear beyond doubt that students with Zionist proclivities reported discrimination and those with anti-Zionist leanings reported none. So, what the study seems to reveal above all is the political orientation of its participants. It is not really possible to falsify any of the findings beyond that. If Zionist students consider critique of Israel to be a form of harm, that is what they will report. But this is not an objective measure, as evinced by the testimony of anti-Zionist students.

"Regardless of the final score in Ireland’s favour, they lost the minute they stepped on the pitch to play Israel." Exactly right. There are no victories when playing Israel "went vs the majority of the Irish people" + "succumbed to pressure to normalise genocide" www.aljazeera.com/opinions/202...

For the past few months, Irish Sport for Palestine (ISFP), which I am part of, has been campaigning for Ireland to boycott its football matches against Israel. We believe playing against Israel legitimises a genocidal regime and gives cover for international law violations, apartheid and war crimes.

On Sunday, the match between the two teams went ahead in an almost empty stadium in Hungary. Regardless of the final score (3-0) in Ireland’s favour, they lost the minute they stepped on the pitch to play Israel. They lost because they went against the majority of the Irish people who do not want these matches to be played. They lost because they succumbed to pressure to normalise genocide.
