"Settlers are armed and in protection of the illegal occupation forces" She's asking Palestines who can go to #SheikhJarrah to go there immediately. #Save_Sheikh_Jarrah #FreePalestine #IsraeliTerrorism
I found this really powerful because this is, in part, the result of my, and others, self preservation in academia. Since I opted out of academia (after five years of rejection, natch) I am able to speak more freely. So let me say some truths about the experienceš§µ
It starts in grad school. If you study the Modern Middle East, you come to quickly realize that Israel/Palestine is a hotwire topic that can enrage colleagues and split departments. I was lucky. My department was not riven by conflict and I never had to "pick" sides. 2/18
But I did learn quickly that was not the case everywhere, someone else can spill that tea. Also, since I studied Egypt, it was not the very basis of my career. On the whole, I say, like everything else in academia, the faculty are doing the best they can. 3/18
