the sound of silence from Western academia 😥 Where is the condemnation of Israel's elimination of Palestinian universities?🤔
. . .
'Israel’s military occupies and destroys Israa University in Gaza. Israa University in Gaza was transformed into a military base by Israel’s armed forces, as confirmed by the university’s official Facebook page.
The institution, which once served as a beacon of education, was reportedly used for Israeli military operations, the detention of isolated civilians, and interrogation purposes.'

This Is Why The Left Has Failed | Ash Sarkar Meets Vincent Bevins https://youtu.be/yTRkIY6NQhA
–– 'The 2010s saw a new era of mass protest, from Arab Spring uprisings in Tunisia, Egypt and Syria, to Occupy Wall Street, EuroMaidan and Hong Kong's Umbrella Movement. Many of these movements shared a "horizontalist" or leaderless approach and most of them ended in failure.
Vincent Bevins experienced some of these movements up close. In his latest book "If We Burn" he tries to explain why the movements of the so-called "New Left" didn't succeed and what lessons we can learn from them.'
