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?”

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.
Join the Green Party.

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.
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

I wrote a long essay on the effect of the establishment of Israel in the Arab a region on Egypt's modernization journey, why Egypt had to be taken out of the equation first, how the Camp David accords can explain the current moment and more for TNI

صباح الخير بس لعبد المنعم رياض،سعد الدين الشاذلي و الجنود المصريين الي عبروا في ٦ اكتوبر ١٩٧٣ و الشعب المصري الي طالبهم بكدا من ٦٧ و الي خانهم و باعهم محمد انور السادات
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

Your definition of Zionism does not matter. Nor does mine. Zionism is defined by its material manifestations. The purpose of a system is what it does. And the Zionist system does racism and genocide. Simple. Please spare me the arrogant insufferable graaating Oxbridge debates. Your opinions are irrelevant. People are dying.

Zionism is predicated on replacing one population another. This logic was written into the thinking of its foundational leaders.
You — obviously — cannot ethnically cleanse a land in a non-racist fashion. Zionism is, definitionally, racism.
Stop playing stupid.

BREAKING: Ethiopia expels Egyptian diplomat from Addis Ababa
Ethiopia has expelled a member of Egypt's diplomatic mission in Addis Ababa, Ahmed Moharam Ahmed Soliman, from the country, according to a letter submitted by the Ethiopian Foreign Ministry to the Egyptian embassy. An Egyptian official has confirmed the news to Mada Masr. In the letter, of which Mada Masr obtained a copy, the ministry declared Soliman persona non grata, stating he must leave the country within 48 hours. According to an Ethiopian official, the letter was delivered to the Egyptian embassy in Addis Ababa on Thursday afternoon.
Earlier on Thursday, the Ethiopian Foreign Ministry announced the closure of the Ethiopian embassy in Asmara, citing what it called Eritrea's "direct and indirect acts of hostility and belligerence against Ethiopia," according to a letter sent to the Eritrean embassy and published on official channels. Alongside the decision, 10 Eritrean diplomatic staff were declared persona non grata and ordered to leave the country within 48 hours.
