I spoke about the US-Israeli 'humanitarian' scheme in Gaza for the German TV yesterday (5'34). The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation does not meet any humanitarian standard of humanity and impartiality and only serves to distract our attention from the ongoing genocide.

#AcademicFreedom is the right to say everything but not anything. It is based on the rejection of bullshit. It only exists when it is actively practiced in the everyday. Refusing bullshit and telling the truth is practicing academic freedom.
