for @Parapraxis_Mag I wrote about Palestine as an Arab issue, Arab political subjectivity in the aftermath of the Arab Spring, counterrevolution and reverberations of political defeat since 1967 in an attempt to answer the question “where are the Arabs?”

"Instead, the PA became yet another arm of the occupation, financially dependent on Israel and enforcing ‘security’ on its terms. As in Egypt, the dividends of so-called peace flowed upward to a new elite, which forfeited sovereignty and got imperial patronage in return." - @nihalist___

the past week has been unnecessarily hectic and i have done a horrendous job at promoting thus far but this book i have spent the last couple years writing is finally out in the world and i am deeply horrified but proud of it. worked so hard on being as humbly sober, fair, and honest as humanly possible.
it is a polemic, historical, and theoretical. flawed, maybe even limited—but deeply curious. and rooted in an utter devotion to wanting to advance contemporary struggle beyond its severely underdeveloped and embryonic stage in which we’ve found it (but trying to perform an autopsy for the world we have inhabited).
very excited to be in dialogue with so many brilliant folks, to hear criticisms and takedowns, in the coming months!!!

Throughout the history of the United States, Black revolution has been sedated, diverted and neutralised.

🔴 Egyptian court orders closure of Mada Masr, one of the country’s last remaining independent outlets:
🚨 BREAKING: An Egyptian court has fined Mada Masr Editor-in-Chief Lina Attalah 3 million Egyptian pounds, ordered the closure of the independent news outlet’s website and the confiscation of its property. Attalah was taken into custody following the ruling.
The court rejected the defense’s requests to present documents and call witnesses. The judge then abruptly appointed a lawyer unknown to Attalah’s defense team. Attalah objected, but the judge refused to record her objection in the court minutes, according to Mada Masr.
The judge then began recording requests on behalf of the court-appointed lawyer, who had not spoken, before reading out the conviction amid protests from the defense.
Mada Masr, one of Egypt's last remaining independent news outlets, has repeatedly applied for a license since 2018 and has never received a response from Egyptian authorities.

Just once, I’d like the BBC to centre a Palestinian whose family has been displaced and slaughtered in the name of zionism, instead of someone whose feelings are hurt because a British party called zionism, a racist ideology, racist.

“I am a Jewish woman being called antisemitic. I don’t think you would sit here & lecture somebody of any other religion or race on what counted as bigotry or racism towards them in the way you have explicitly called me antisemitic..I don’t think you would do that

Went on BBC Politics Live to discuss why Zionism is a racist ideology. The anchor and all three panelists looked like they were about to cry at the end. Very weird behaviour.

I wrote about Michael Olise and how I’m tired of the Ballon d’Or being the center of conversations about great players, which leads to rival fans denigrating wonderful players in order to boost their favorites

“Zionism is racism” is a practical motion, despite confused insistence otherwise. This is because, to counter genocide, you must be clear on the ideology driving it. We don’t say “Hutu Power means many things to many people” — the driving force behind Rwandan genocide, do we?

Spot on. Despite the hysteria, this has now been forced into the open and many people are having their eyes opened for the first time.
Green Party aside, the fact that there is now wide discourse about why Zionism is a racist ideology that has been a chimera of death and destruction in the Arab and Iranian region is a good thing actually

crucial from Nasser Abu Rahmeh on seeing Zionism and anti-Zionism from a Palestinian and Arab lens
"What anti-Zionism ultimately amounts to...is a liberation of land and people that is indifferent to Zionism’s self-image. As such, it does not demand a relational ethics; it demands a liberatory praxis.”
-Nasser Abourahme
