Trump's proposal represents cruel colonial rule, which fails to address Israel's illegal occupation and apartheid, fails to recognise Palestinians' right to self-determination, and fails to put Palestinians into the driver's seat. Proposals like this are bound to fail.

What do these recognitions of Palestine as a state even mean when those recognising it continue to support Israel's genocide against Palestinians and don't specify what borders they are talking about. The 1967 proposal is an insult to many.

Roughly a year ago I left the German Middle East Studies Association (DAVO) over its undemocratic structures. I wrote about it here: share.google/pu7uCF9IkJlU...

Today, DAVO voted for a new board of amazing colleagues whom I trust to steer this ship into a new direction! I may have to reenter now..

Here we go again. Including the obligatory statement by the mayor of Berlin saying that an appearance by Francesca Albanese ist "out of the question" and that he expects (!) the FU to "take a stand against antisemitism" (ie cancel the appearance). Mafia tactics

Herr @ronensteinke.bsky.social, weshalb schreiben Sie regelmäßig Artikel darüber, dass Israel angeblich keinen Völkermord begeht? Warum schreiben Sie nicht darüber, wie das Töten, Verstümmeln, Vertreiben und Aushungern der Palästinenser durch Israel gestoppt werden kann?
