أقيموا بني أمّي صدورَ مطيّكم
فإنّي إلى قومٍ سواكم لأميلُ

- When we chant "from the river to the sea Palestine will be free" we are calling for a one state, one person=one vote where everyone living between the river and the sea is free and treated as a human being with rights and dignity.
- THE ROUTLEDGE HANDBOOK OF ARABIC POETRY, forthcoming in December! Co-editing this volume with Suzanne Stetkevych was an honor and a joy! All the gratitude to our brilliant contributors (and our blind reviewers).
- THE OLIVE TREE is a new journal protesting the ongoing genocide against the Palestinian people. Support this brilliant project and the work of young Gazan poets like @yahyaashour98 @ahmadlubna18 @AreejRantis Thank you for sharing @El_Arvare!
- “Power concedes nothing without a demand” @marclamonthill visited the UPenn encampment in support of our brave students who are making principled just demands: DISCLOSE, DIVEST, and STOP funding genocide!
00:00 - Hiba Abu Nada is a poet, novelist, and educator from Palestine, and she will always be. This is the last poem she wrote before she was murdered by Israel on Oct. 20th. Hiba grants us refuge in her words from a world gone mad.
- People dropping dead or injured at fruit stalls, in the streets, in their living rooms in the most densely populated Beirut neighborhoods and across Lebanon… long ago, this horrors has far exceeded the bounds of the absurd.
- On October 14, Netflix will launch the Palestinian Stories collection, a lineup of award-winning films by Palestinian filmmakers or about Palestinian Stories. The collection is set to launch with 32 films with more to be added over the next few weeks
- The ending of Etel Adnan’s poem “Jenin”(2004). Two things remain true and undeniable despite the hypocrisy of history: Poetry and Palestine

- This is what they are distracting you from: mass graves, handcuffed bodies of doctors, nurses, and patients.
- It’s a nakba, a genocide, the end of the world. They have ruined humanity.
- If you study/teach Arabic or Arabic literature or anything related to the so called Middle East and you think the horrors unfolding in Palestine don't concern you or fall within the purview of your interests then you are an opportunistic hypocrite. And "our field" is full of them
- Don’t be distracted by the theatrics of fascist regimes: one needs to save face and the other wants to play the victim. A genocide continues in Gaza. Horrors are being committed in the West Bank. Watch Lebanon. Don’t be distracted.
