This paper thinks through the decolonising of war from a geographical perspective. It brings Taraq Barkawi and other work in IR into conv with geog to think through war's (de)colonialities, leaning on vital work in feminist, Black and indigenous geogs

For months I've been reporting in northern areas in the West Bank, where Palestinians provided extensive accounts of the Israeli military increasingly deploying Gaza’s war tactics, including the IDF using civilians as human shields, illegal under intl law nytimes.com/2024/11/24/world…

My @Channel4News report on Israel’s relentless pounding of northern Gaza. It took a remarkably brave and persistent cameraman to get these pictures out to us. The world cannot say that it didn’t see. Or know. channel4.com/news/israels-re…

When Israel began its war on Gaza, it initially felt pressure to deny responsibility for attacks on hospitals and refugee camps. A year of unflinching support from the US has convinced Benjamin Netanyahu that he no longer has any such need to pretend. jacobin.com/2024/10/us-israe…

The level of destruction caused by Israel’s bombardments in Jabalia. Northern Gaza is being completely obliterated.

He is not examining the plan. He is implementing it. Humanitarian aid already sealed off for almost 2 weeks. No access to food, water, healthcare. 400,000 Palestinians are under expulsion order and caged under heavy fire. Hundreds killed in few days. xitter.cf/AP/status/184548170120…
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is examining a plan to seal off humanitarian aid to northern Gaza in an attempt to starve out Hamas militants, a plan that could trap hundreds of thousands of Palestinians without food or water. apnews.com/article/hamas-isr…
📚 Delighted to share these mock-ups of my upcoming book, "Weaponizing Civilian Protection: Counterinsurgency and Collateral Damage in Afghanistan," which will be published by Oxford University Press early next year.
The man pictured in the centre lost his brother, Zemari Ahmadi, and several other relatives in a drone strike in Kabul on 29 August 2021. I reflect on the incident in "Weaponizing Civilian Protection."
