๐บ๐ฉธETHNIC CLEANSING AND ARCHAEOLOGY IN LEBANON
Earlier today, the director of the Israel Antiquities Authority posted a story earlier today with the caption "combining reserve duty in the north and a visit to excavations" www.instagram.com/stories/elie...
Not only did the US, per its own โintelligence,โ bomb this girls primary school, THEY BOMBED IT TWICE.

Essential read: a statement from Cardinal Cupich. www.archchicago.org/statement/-/...
This is a grim read www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...
Pretty serious allegation here. "Witnesses told the BBC that the Israeli soldiers had arrived disguised in Lebanese military fatigues and used ambulances with signs of Hezbollah's Islamic Health Organization."

ANOTHER ๐ฎ๐ฑ๐บ๐ธ BOMBING NEXT TO A UNESCO SITE!
Nothing sacred for the Epstein axis.
Read our newest post: Archaeology and heritage making: instruments to make the occupied West Bank a "Land without people"
Exclusive: US military investigators believe it is likely that US forces were responsible for an apparent strike on an Iranian girls' school that killed scores of children on February 28 but have not yet reached a final conclusion or completed their investigation reut.rs/40b19JN
From The Telegraph Merz: Iran should not be protected by international law German chancellor positions himself as Trump's closest European ally in condemning Tehran.
Not judging Germany by its history, but its current failure. How on godโs green earth did they put this man in the top position?!
an "apology" from a company currently valued at $730,000,000,000 that has foisted its ruinous tech irresponsibly upon all our systems seems like a coward's overhasty escape
I guess I didnโt wake up thinking I needed to know the names of the 279 named triremes โต๏ธin the 4th century BCE Athenian navy, but it appears we all do. link.springer.com/article/10.1... I do like that 3.58% had animal names like ฮฮตฮฟฮฝฯแฟ (lion skin) and ฮฮญฮฑฮนฮฝฮฑ (lioness). Greek epigraphy is fun! ๐ชฆ

this update/correction from @willdalrymple.bsky.social on the question of removing the term Palestine from British Museum gallery texts definitely raises more questions than it answers

ICE murdered Renรฉe Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives.
We can't allow ourselves to look away from this cruelty. Abolish ICE.

Solidarity and much appreciation to you and everyone who spoke and continues to push back against this harassment and abuse. So sorry this happened to you and that the EAA leadership allowed it
In spite of the Safe Space Policy being clearly stated at the beginning of the meeting, Prof. XXXXX targeted me by name, calling for my resignation from my position as Editor of the society's journal. Furthermore, his misuse of my title, referring to me as "Miss Kamash", felt deliberately demeaning. This intimidating behaviour explicitly contravenes the EAA Safe Space Policy. Although he was muted, for which I was grateful, I experienced a panic attack following his comments and did not feel safe to speak for the remainder of the meeting. This was further compounded by not only Prof. XXXXX being allowed to remain in the online meeting, but also being invited to take the floor again after the break. This gives me strong concerns about the effectiveness of the Safe Space Policy. On a broader point about the effectiveness of the Safe Space Policy, I also note that members whose position aligned with that of Concerned EAA were repeatedly and persistently accused of anti-Semitism throughout the meeting. This is a serious accusation that should not be levelled without due care and evidentiary support. Its use as a blanket accusation seems to have been designed with the explicit aim of silencing and intimidating members aligned with Concerned EAA, which again contravenes the Safe Space Policy and should have been dealt with more robustly during the meeting.
Following yesterday's EAA Special Meeting, I have submitted a complaint to the EAA Appeal and Anti-Harassment Committee. I post it here, with names redacted, for any members who were not present. Thank you so much to everyone who has reached out with messages of solidarity and support ๐๐๐
