NEW: Since October 2023, the IDF Spokesperson's Unit has released dozens of 3D animations illustrating alleged Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iranian sites The style is now unmistakable: satellite zoom-ins, black & white wireframes, and red-textured houses - a new visual language of war

Israel had already occupied Gaza City and forced its population out - in late 2023. The difference this time is that Israel pledges loud and clear to destroy the city in its entirety, and not to allow the population back. This is what it makes this occupation into a crime against humanity.

Biden's WH aided and abetted Stage 1 of Gaza genocide: siege, displacement, killing of at least 50k people (over 80% of them civilians), and obliteration of infrastructure. The Trump WH has aided and abetted Stage 2: starvation, mass destruction of Palestinian cities, preparation for expulsion.

By continuing business as usual, Israel’s international partners are allowing the Israeli government to continue with its genocidal campaign with no consequences beyond symbolic gestures of disapproval and statements. The time to act is now - me @theguardian.com www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

I live in Britain; I grew up in Israel. It’s painful to say, but we need real UK sanctions to save Gaza | Yair Wallach
Symbolic gestures and empty statements are no longer enough. In Israel’s globalised economy, here’s what will shift public opinion, says says senior lecturer in Israeli studies Yair Wallach

This is an exciting time for secrecy research and an important time to understand how central it is to our current crises. Do consider contributing a chapter to what we hope will be a new definitive volume.

If your cause leads to a rise in young people's suicides, self harm & utter terror; if your words/actions are pushing others to kill someone else's child then pausing & stopping that anti trans campaign may be the bravest thing you'd have ever done. You don't need to like s.o to do right by them.

My new open-access article in International Political Sociology is about “visual politics”, a growing subfield of International Relations. It considers how visual politics is structured to ignore race and racism and why it shouldn’t. academic.oup.com/ips/article/...
