Here's a description of this project: If you need a number on Gaza that you can defend, it should be here.

How to Kill a Passionate Intellectual Life

What he advocates is an uncompromising position of moral clarity and commitment that I embraced as a graduate student, one that … Continue reading How to Kill a Passionate Intellectual Life
Digital Advice for People in Gaza/نصائح رقمية لسكان غزة
This is something I think about, especially since I'm in touch with so many people in Gaza via email and chat apps.
