Really excited to see this out in the world after many years of work. Like all academic books it costs far too much, but if you are interested in Frankfurt School Critical Theory in IR and where it went wrong please do order it into your library

Pleased to share our new article in which we critically engage with the role that the “categories of migration” play in determining who does and does not “belong” in Europe and how they are changing. Thank you to the SI editors for including us in this important collection.

Disgraceful. Shameful.
The EU can't even muster the barest minimum measures to even start to hold Israel to account.
This failure comes just as Israeli human rights organizations join others in finding that Israel is committing genocide against Palestinians in Gaza.

Empty words from the Foreign Secretary - the statement lacks any resolve, leadership or action to help end the genocide in Gaza. 1/4🧵
The suffering of civilians in Gaza has reached new depths.
Alongside 25 other partners, the UK message is clear: the war in Gaza must end now.
We need an immediate ceasefire, release of all hostages and a full resumption of aid.

We broke down the logic of Israel’s policy of starvation, its architecture, and aims, showing how engineered starvation (and its supposed mitigation) is used as a tool to break Palestinian society.
A ceasefire is not enough. The Israeli military’s weaponisation of aid and starvation to displace and destroy Palestinian society will not stop as long as Israel controls aid distribution. Our new analysis shows how Israel has imposed a deadly aid system through GHF ration stations, while dismantling a proven civilian-led model, in order to concentrate Palestinians in Rafah and push Gazan society toward collapse.
The genocide can continue even under a ceasefire.

There are not the words to describe how callous this current government is. Their betrayal of the Hillsborough families, the city of Liverpool & communities everywhere is palpable
Let us be clear: the government are choosing to vote against public servants being held accountable

The asylum system is not working. It cannot cope with a world of proliferating conflict, cheap travel and huge wage disparities. A more pragmatic approach starts by helping refugees find shelter closer to home econ.st/3TzdTGJ

After a minute of reflection upon hearing the news that the US imposed sanctions against her, the response of @FranceskAlbs needed no translation, reassuring that there is no stepping back in working for justice and freedom for all. ❤️✊

Very proud to publish another piece by the great Alberto Toscano (@Alberto63137378) in @proteanmag (also in print in Issue V, which is still available!)
A brilliant piece on italian leftist responses to zionism & the '67 war & technicized myth & fascism

🚨BREAKING: We’re deeply concerned at the use of counter terrorism powers to target protest groups.
This is the latest in a succession of measures taken by the UK government to clamp down on protest in the UK.
Davide Schmid retweeted
While #Madleen must be released immediately, every Mediterranean port should send boats with aid, solidarity, and humanity to Gaza. They shall sail together—united, they will be unstoppable.
#BreakingTheSiege is a legal duty for states, and a moral imperative for all of us.

One of many moments in Omar El Akkad’s new book, “One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This,” that will stop you in your tracks.
ALT There is an impulse in moments like this to appeal to self-interest. To say: These horrors you are allowing to happen, they will come to your doorstep one day; to repeat the famous phrase about who they came for first and who they'll come for next. But this appeal cannot, in matter of fact, work. If the people well served by a system that condones such butchery ever truly believed the same butchery could one day be inflicted on them, they'd tear the system down tomorrow. And anyway, by the time such a thing happens, the rest of us will already be dead. No, there is no terrible thing coming for you in some distant future, but know that a terrible thing is happening to you now. You are being asked to kill off a part of you that would otherwise scream in opposition to injustice. You are being asked to dismantle the machinery of a functioning conscience.

Rest in peace Hossam Shabat - yet another Palestinian journalist murdered by Israel. May there be accountability for this war crime and all other Israeli crimes against the Palestinian people.

Tutors at SOAS have refused to mark en masse & have currently disrupted over 4100 assessments 💪
Unsurprisingly, management has refused to negotiate & is instead contacting other UK unis in to recruit a network of scabs
⚠️*DO NOT accept marking work coming from SOAS* ‼️

What's happening at the International Studies Association (ISA)? A whole catalogue of censorship & punitive actions against sections & caucuses by the ISA leadership is silencing democratic discussion, especially among Global South & marginalised members..
