By January 2025, every single university in Gaza — as well as most of its libraries and archives — had been destroyed by Israeli aerial bombing, ground-based assaults, and a massive Israeli military campaign of bulldozing and blowing up infrastructure that had merely been damaged in previous attacks.

Those original documents, those climate-controlled storage units, those finding aids and reading rooms are gone.

In late 2021, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella met with Yossi Sariel, the commander of "Israel’s" military surveillance agency Unit 8200, at Microsoft’s Seattle headquarters.

Sariel sought support for a plan to move vast amounts of classified intelligence data into Microsoft’s Azure cloud platform.

This arrangement would provide Unit 8200 with a dedicated, customized space within Azure, offering nearly unlimited storage capacity.

Republican Senator Tom Cotton called on the IRS to revoke the nonprofit status of the largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy organisation in the US, accusing it of providing material support to terrorists.

In his letter, Cotton accused the Council on American-Islamic Relations (Cair) of purporting to be “a civil rights organization protecting the rights of American Muslims” while having “deep ties to terrorist organisations”.

The Arkansas group is called Return to the Land, and it is part of a larger national movement.

Focusing on people’s proof of “ancestral heritage,” it seeks, according to its mission statement, to “put land [in the US] BACK [my emphasis] under the control of Europeans.”

The parallels between this movement and Zionism are striking. Both movements claim that they are movements of return; hence the “back to control of Europeans.”

Soumaya Ghannoushi argues in her column against the latest wave of Western declarations on recognising a Palestinian state, arguing they amount to diplomatic theatre rather than genuine support for Palestinian rights.

Macron and Starmer present symbolic gestures as breakthroughs – but what’s on offer is not a sovereign state, Ghannoushi says, but a shell under occupation: no borders, no army, no control over resources.
