I wrote this piece for mental health professionals researching Palestine/genocide. It discusses something we rarely say out loud: the pressure to soften your framing, avoid certain words like Zionism or settler-colonial occupation, 'not rocking the boat.’ healingjusticeldn.org/methodology/...

It is our responsibility to call out Palestine erasure everywhere we see it. Look out for our new report ‘The Violence of Liberal Racism: What Palestine Reveals About British Mental Health Care’ by Racial Justice Researcher @tarekyounis.bsky.social - COMING MONDAY 9 FEB

A screenshot of a tweet from the account @Tarek_Younis_. Text reads: Just spoke with a healthcare staff member, who told me that patients holding an "anti-genocide" position makes staff feel uncomfortable. If staff are offended by the mention of genocide, the implications are far worse than we can imagine for patients, and the NHS as a whole.

Dark blue text on white background. Text reads:
The politics of violence and healing are inseparable. Next week our new report 'The Violence of Liberal Racism: What Palestine Reveals About British Mental Health Care' comes out (9 Feb). By Racial Justice Researcher @tarek_younis_. When it comes out, please help us share as widely as possible. It is our responsibility to call out Palestine erasure everywhere we see it. It is our responsibility to witness and name the harms in our existing systems. "Much has been said and written on the complicity of the Global North in the genocide-and there is still much to account for. Mental health care is not free of blame." - @tarek_younis_. FEB 9: SAVE THE DATE.

Terrorism legislation is State violence. It ruptures communities and immobilises them for fear of being labeled a "terrorist." In this article I make a psychological case for deproscription, esp given the current push to proscribe Palestine Action. www.middleeasteye.net/opinion/why-...

middleeasteye.net

Why I wrote an expert report supporting the case to deproscribe Hamas in the UK

The widespread anxiety around speaking up for Palestine stems from the severe consequences that may follow

“What happens to us in the future? Do we become assholes or something?” I thought of this line from Back to the Future when considering the renewed policy of sending migrants to Guantanamo. It's nothing new, rather it’s central to the architecture of US violence www.newarab.com/opinion/trum...

newarab.com

Trump sending migrants to Guantanamo isn't new

Trump is not the first US president to confine migrants in Guantanamo, but this sets back over 20 years of campaigning for its closure, explains Asim Qureshi.

interesting to see how Zionists aren’t up in arms at an American president calling to annex land supposedly promised to them? Israel PM sat their nodding. Maybe he knows it’s coming his way, or maybe it was never about who is indigenous. White supremacy supports white supremacy

Thinking this morning of all my Syrian friends, many of whom I first met in a refugee camp in Greece in 2015. They spoke of bring tortured in Assad’s prisons, the pain of having to leave family behind, and the scent of the fruit trees in Damascus. May they find home again.

Zoe Rogers turned 21 a few weeks ago while inside prison for shutting down an Elbit weapons site - a company directly involved in the ongoing genocide in Palestine. She is one of the bravest souls in the UK. This is Zoe’s brave mother, reading a poem by her incarcerated daughter. 1/3

Our Racial Justice Researcher @tarekyounis.bsky.social contributed to new report by @runnymedetrust.bsky.social on Islamophobia in the UK. He speaks to Islamophobia's implications for mental health, the ways MH structures are weaponised, & the necessity to recognise the politics of health & healing

1/ Delighted to contribute to @runnymedetrust.bsky.social's report on Islamophobia. I wrote a chapter on mental health. It takes the political roots of Islamophobia (and its impact on Muslims) seriously, challenging simplistic narratives and emphasising systemic change. A 🧵 of key points:

Cover of Runnymede's Report, Islamophobia is written in large letters

If you care about abolishing and critiquing idea of the war on terror as a political project , you should give my colleague @rmkhan.bsky.social a hearty follow. She and @sarahgharib.bsky.social just published an amazing special issue, me and several others are part of : doi.org/10.1080/1753...
