Solidarity with the 250+ staff who've rightly pointed out in their letter that it's actions like this that actually politicize the museum, and distract from the proper work of curation, care and public service

For me, I will remember Francis as the Pope who called the Holy Family Church in Gaza every day as the city, and even the church itself, was bombed by Israel.
Can’t recall ever weeping over the death of a world leader—not out of indifference, just distance. But waking up to the news of Pope Francis passing, I wept. He left this world when his moral clarity & courage are needed most. Thank your holiness for renewing my faith. You'll be sorely missed.🕊️
I shall never forget his visit to my Iraq. For three days it felt like things were OK! I keep remembering his visit and the time it snowed in Baghdad at random times as a therapy practice😭💔

"تهديد واضح للبيئة".. بلاغ للنائب العام بشأن التعدي على "رأس حنكوراب"
More than 50,000 Palestinians have been killed in Israel’s military campaign in the Gaza Strip, the enclave’s Health Ministry said Sunday — a grim indicator of the conflict’s continued lethality less than a week since Israel shattered a nearly two-month-old ceasefire.
My book in Arabic is out 🥳
Even those who may be too young to remember a war whose death toll has horrified the world will live their days in its shadow after it eventually ends. Powerful images.
Exclusive: As Gaza’s hunger crisis worsens, organized gangs are stealing much of the aid Israel allows into the enclave. An internal U.N. memo obtained by The Post concluded that the gangs “may be benefiting from a passive if not active benevolence” or “protection” from the Israel Defense Forces.
The painstaking task of creating research-quality electronic replicas of some of the center’s holdings will help foster a broader understanding of legal history and its evolution. www.law.berkeley.edu/article/robb...
Have not seen much on here on Sudan, so I'm amplifying this horrific report that shows the number who are killed is higher than previously estimated.
Adding here other writing to read to understand this war that has displaced over 11 million people; the highest displacement crisis globally. 🧵
