Just woke up to the news, on the Jewish New Year, some fascists distributed anti-semitic flyers around our street and apparently a couple other neighborhoods. In 'liberal' Ann Arbor.

"Whatever you do, please do not look the other way or waffle, or talk about everything except the Middle East, or impugn my character and say that the problems are terrorism, Islam, and Arab culture or intransigence. As Palestinians are being killed every day by Israeli soldiers, and as the Palestinian nation is being punished mercilessly by the state of the Jewish people, your role as intellectuals, I think, is to bear witness to, to testify against, those crimes."

"On the very day in late 1987 that Ronald Reagan gently upbraided Israel for shooting unarmed Palestinian children, an additional $280 million was earmarked for our strategic ally. How much more aid (now set at over three billion per annum), how many more cringing apologies, how many more Palestinian lives are necessary as 'confidence-building measures'... in order that Israel and its supporters may at last condescend to survey the damage?"

"Always it was our [Arab, Muslim, non-Western] negative features that allowed Israel’s intellectual apologists to set us off against, in order then to underscore, Israeli liberalism, democracy, enlightenment, etc. And, I must add quickly, our dehumanization occurred as an extension of the already quite formidable battery of measures taken by Israel to erase most of our presence from our native land"

On #PauloFreire's birthday, go through our dossier, which talks about Freire's ideas and the profound impact it had on the popular struggles in South Africa.

His ideas were so impactful that the apartheid state banned his Pedagogy of the Oppressed.

"We thought that we were going to see mostly patients who were hospitalized, who survived and now needed some ongoing care for neurology as an outpatient... But what we saw is the opposite. The main population of the clinic is the people who were never hospitalized with COVID... then [experienced] the lingering, persistent, and then debilitating brain fog, headaches, dizziness, muscle pain, trouble with smell and taste, blurry vision, tinnitus, and intense fatigue."

This will be missed with the Queen’s death, but it needs to be posted. “The University of Alabama has more than 10,000 Native American human remains in its possession, according to a federal notice published by the National Park Service last week.” https://nativenewsonline.net/currents/10-245-indigenous-remains-reported-at-university-of-alabama?fbclid=IwAR29z4jfVoq85uTtXdvAE4vNe4iM0f_Li_4jGJBvXlZSfDEl3kTPCBzJk-0
