Given the EAA has gone back on excluding Israeli institutions from the conference - and is also trying to prevent @archagainstaparth.bsky.social from protesting in their sessions - it’s time to walk away until they can find their moral compass. blacktrowelcollective.wordpress.com/2025/09/02/b...

Over 1200 signatories asking the EAA to boycott Israeli institutions complicit w genocide and yet its executive board decides to cave in to Zionist bullies while attempting to silence @archagainstaparth.bsky.social 🤡

April 15 SkySat imagery from @planet.com shows Tell Ali Muntar, an archeological site already damaged last year, has been further damaged/turned into an IDF staging area with berms. A nearby cemetery has also been damaged.

This is part of the IDF's expansion of the buffer zone into Shejaiya.
