Connaissance des faits pertinents
Par Selma Dabbagh
🔸 "Selon un sondage du Washington Post, 61 % des Juifs américains considèrent qu’Israël commet des crimes de guerre à Gaza et près de 40 % pensent que sa conduite équivaut à un génocide."

David Renton on Palestine Action, protest and freedom of speech - and the creeping authoritarianism in Britain. (More likely *England* - but the terrorism laws coming out of Westminster also affect Scotland.)

This #LRB article reads like a #dystopian #scifi short story from the 1990s. But it seems to be the 2025 reality in some parts of #China …

Did they really name it #Skynet?
Pleased to see in the new #LRB that their "follow us on social media" box has finally stopped advertising Twitter.
They've gone Bluesky. I'd have rather that they'd reactivated their Mastodon account but it's an improvement.
Looking forward to this one... #LRB

@DaniGaravelli 's #LRB article about deaths in custody at #Polmont is well worth reading.

But the final page of the print article is befouled by a "Follow Us On Social Media" box featuring Meta, Musk n Alphabet. Surely it is long past time for LRB to make a conscious decision to switch platforms?
To all my fellow tiktokers!
Btw, I also love this middle finger of yours to the US government and Meta.
Hugs and kisses from Finland!
Sophie Smith's "Sleeping Women" in the final #LRB of 2024 is a fine wide-ranging article.
I went to tag the @lrb account and saw it has been unused since January 2023. There doesn't seem to be a Bluesky account either, though they did recently publish Mark Sinker's blog
https://www.lrb.co.uk/blog/2024/december/hello-bluesky
But the LRB website shows "Follow Us" then the tired problematic list of Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Instagram - like the "sluggish old-school news and comment organisations" in Sinker's article.
This is what the (near) future looks like.

#NGOs #funding vs. #NeverAgain in #Germany
"Fifteen Israeli NGOs said it ‘would be instrumentalised to attack and constrain German funding for our human rights work’."
"The resolution calls for immigration, asylum and criminal law to be tightened to combat antisemitism, and for universities, where antiwar activists have occupied buildings and set up encampments, to be granted wider powers to discipline and expel students. All levels of government are asked to prevent the financial support of projects and organisations – Documenta is mentioned as an example – that ‘spread antisemitism, question Israel’s right to exist, call for a boycott of Israel or actively support the BDS movement’. The IHRA definition is to be considered ‘authoritative’. The new resolution cites the 2019 BDS text as its model, ignoring a parliamentary assessment from a year later, which found that if that resolution had been formulated as legislation, it ‘would not be compatible with the fundamental right to freedom of expression and would therefore be unconstitutional’."
"With a non-binding resolution, recipients of state funding will be drafted, willing or unwilling, as enforcers. Curators, convenors of academic conferences and charity administrators will be expected to screen and blacklist any partners or collaborators who could be seen to violate the IHRA guidelines. An old social media post or a signature on a petition could result in funds being withdrawn."

There's a good article by Rosemary Hill in the current #LRB on #GlasgowSchoolOfArt and the morass after the destruction caused by the two fires in 2014 and 2018.
"It is difficult to construe [the current reworking of an addendum to the GSA's Strategic Outline Business Case] as anything other than an attempt to look busy while nothing happens and nothing is explained."
