Excellent piece on the British roots of the conflict in #Palestine and the impact of colonial “divide and rule” strategies here and elsewhere:

“In British India, they pushed the Hindu-Muslim divide, sometimes favoring one population, sometimes the other. In Cyprus, they pitted the Greeks against the Turks. In Sri Lanka, it was the Tamils against the Sinhalese. In Ireland, it was the Catholics against the Protestants. The list goes on.“

"The AMNH collected the remains of at least 12,000 individuals through 150 years of purchases, donations, and expeditions. While the existence of this collection is not a secret, their identities are generally unknown. After I received an anonymous tip last year, I began trying to identify these individuals, many of whom came from Indigenous or colonized populations around the world."

“This is a moment that calls 4 moral & strategic clarity. That is why my colleagues & I believe that the United States must help achieve an immediate #ceasefire in Israel & Gaza, or at a minimum a temporary cessation of all hostilities” —⁦‪@RepJayapal https://kuow.org/stories/jayapal-joins-representatives-calling-for-ceasefire-in-israel-gaza
