Incredibly powerful investigation in Dutch newspaper NRC: Seven of the world’s leading genocide scholars — including renowned Holocaust experts — describe Israel’s actions in Gaza as genocidal. And according to them, nearly all of their peers agree.

When you forget everything you learned about international law :

Folks are going to dislike this, but it’s true. Obama worked valiantly to ensure that his global war on terror—targeted assassinations, expanded surveillance programs, and enthusiastic use of drone warfare—conformed with domestic and international law, when it plainly didn’t.

How can a protest against a group that has not yet been proscribed go beyond what can be considered "legitimate protest"? bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Pour rappel et pour ne jamais oublier, ce ministre et ses prédécesseurs ne se sont jamais déplacés pour accueillir les franco-palestiniens évacués de Gaza. JAMAIS.

A fascinating new book from a great colleague. Sarah's work is so rich and layers cultural, social and economic history together to build a profoundly textured narrative of Irish life in this period.

All I'm saying is it would never happen in Lusk!

The UK has such a zero tolerance of any form of political activism that isn't "writing a letter to your MP". Nobody is saying they've not committed criminal acts (though Starmer may have said so in a past life) but proscription has serious ramifications for free speech.

A reminder of tomorrow's hybrid workshop on 'The Colonial Veteran in the Archive' as part of the European Research Council (ERC) funded COLVET- Colonial Veterans ERC Project. All welcome- registration necessary. We will discuss contexts as diverse as India, Eritrea, West, East and Southern Africa, colonial Carribean.

Govt Occupied Territories Bill at Cabinet today, and in Dáil Foreign Affairs Committee next week. A very welcome, important and long overdue step - but we have to get the detail right. That means a full ban on all trade with the illegal Israeli settlements, both goods & services.

Ahead of tomorrow's event, I've dug up the best picture I've taken of a First World War monument, here in Fonds-Saint-Denis in Martinique. One of the only full colour representations of a black soldier that I have seen and the setting is beautiful.

With Zohran, a Twelver Shia, facing Eric Adams, a Turkish proxy, I think we can consider the NYC mayoral race the final phase of the Ottoman-Safavid conflict

JO🇫🇷 Nov 1921 “ *** Mohamed, mle ****, tirailleur à la 2e compagnie du 2e rég. de tirailleurs: excellent soldat, d’un allant magnifique au feu. S’est particulièrement distingué les 25/11/1917 et 9/8/1918. A été blessé très grièvement en se portant à l’attaque” Dónal Hassett شكرا

What a wonderful day of discussion and collaboration at 'The Colonial Veteran in the Archive' workshops we had contributors from four continents and different disciplines talking about a wide and varied range of archives +contexts. Learned so much from a great crew of scholars!

More evidence of the solidification of a consensus on this issue. And yet, we have not seen much acknowledgement of this reality from those who dismissed scholars, activists and of course Palestinians who raised the alarm. They seem to have simply moved on...

From my office bookshelf. Safe to say the trail is truly blazed.

So tempted to recline on the Chapters chaise-longue.
