Armed only with paintbrushes and surgical masks, volunteers are trying to preserve rare books at Gaza City's Omari library
A group of volunteers had begun sifting through the damage at the Omari library in Gaza City and trying to save whatever books they can find. They say the work is not just about the books, it's about protecting the culture and heritage of the Gaza Strip.
i'll take a wild guess - because they're Palestinian?
"If Canada wants the worldâs best graduate students, why are these excellent candidates being denied?"
For more than two years Palestinian scholars offered admissions by Canadian universities have been unable to obtain student visas to come to Canada. When Palestinian students admitted to universities in

AHAâs Leaders Vetoed Its Membersâ Condemnation of Scholasticide in Gaza â Again
American Historical Association members are undaunted by the veto: âWe educate. We organize. We have to keep fighting.âPalestinians place high cultural value on education. these are some of the severe constraints Gazan school kids currently have to live through while eagerly learning:

Israel blocks all pencils and paper from being brought into Gaza. No explanation. No justification. Just banned.
#scholasticide
These are just two of the hundreds of items arbitrarily blocked by Israel, including most medical supplies and almost anything that could be useful in rebuilding, or even simply moving rubble to search for the many thousands of bodies known to be buried by Israeli explosions over the last two years.
Some of the most telling banned items have been:
⢠baby formula
⢠seeds (including any fresh fruit or vegetables)
There is no possible justification for these decisions other than the goal that many Israeli leaders have been repeatedly open in stating: making #Palestinian life in #Gaza impossible.
From Student Encampment Leiden & The Hague:
"đ¨STUDENTS HAVE OCCUPIED THE OLDEST UNIVERSITY BUILDING IN THE NETHERLANDS TO DEMAND AN ACADEMIC BOYCOTT NOWđ¨
đ˘ JOIN THE SUPPORT DEMO NOWđ˘
đDr. Suleiman Haboush University (Rapenburg 73, #Leiden)
Today, #LeidenUniversity holds an annual lecture to commemorate Dr. Rudolph Cleveringa, who gave a famous lecture in honor of his Jewish colleague and in protest of the Nazi occupation on November 26, 1940.
Yet, while claiming to celebrate the scholar who stood against the Nazi occupation and #genocide, Leiden University remains complicit in perpetuating âisraelâsâ occupation and genocide - including #scholasticide - in Palestine.
Leiden Universityâs silence is a grave betrayal of Cleveringaâs lessons. By staying complicit genocide, occupation, and the violent denial of a peopleâs right to self determination, LU is exploiting and defiling Cleveringaâs legacy.
We protest today to call out Leiden Universityâs hypocrisy and complicity. No research project can justify working with institutions complicit in occupation and genocide.
âźď¸We will not leave until the Board commits to our demands: ACADEMIC BOYCOTT NOWâźď¸"

UN expert accuses Israel of scholasticide in Gaza
More than 660,000 children are currently out of school in Gaza, and of its estimated 815 schools, 97 percent have been damaged or destroyed, Farida Shaheed says.
The UN special rapporteur on the right to education described the collapse of Gazaâs education system due to Israelâs war as a â#scholasticideâ, which is the intentional destruction of educational infrastructure or the targeting of teachers and academics.
If I must die
let it bring hope
let it be a tale
â Refaat Alareer, âIf I Must Dieâ
"Dit gedicht van de Palestijnse dichter Refaat Alareer uit 2011 kreeg wereldwijde bekendheid nadat Alareer op 6 december 2023 in een doelbewuste luchtaanval werd vermoord door het IsraĂŤlische leger. Zijn dood, en die van vele andere Palestijnse academici en dichters, laat zien hoezeer IsraĂŤl een dreiging ziet in Palestijnse intellectuelen en hun gedachtegoed."
