My book, "Constructing the Achievement State", will be published next summer by Cambridge University Press (2026). The book is about the Egyptian Ministry of Culture and its role in creating a postrevolutionary state project after 1952. Link below 👇

Congratulations to @celkhachab, whose book Constructing the Achievement State is now out!

On the heels of a longer piece in @CSSHJournal about the scattering of state documents in Cairo, I wrote a short reflection on how working outside official archives has enabled my forthcoming book on the Egyptian Ministry of Culture.
"I never intended on writing history," writes @celkhachab in our latest Behind the Scenes feature. Find out why his research on the Egyptian Ministry of Culture required going to the archives, and why those archives required an "ethnographer's flair."

THREAD: We have to stop calling Israel’s current military-security-terrorist campaign against Lebanon an escalation and start calling it a war. Not total war without ceilings yet, but war, nonetheless. Israel’s “shock and awe” offensive pursues short term tactical gains to make up for its strategic losses, while Hizbullah is aiming for longer term strategic objectives despite some tactical losses it has endured over the past week. 1/

Palestinian academic unions thank dozens of global universities that have taken steps to end ties with Israeli universities complicit in Israel’s war crimes, crimes against humanity and #GazaGenocide.
They urge all global universities to do the same.

Israel killed at least 492 yesterday, & before noon today they have killed an additional 182 in Lebanon. At least 500k have been forcibly displaced. This is a second genocidal campaign designed to protect the indefinite continuation of the first, with the full support of the US.

492 killed and 1645 wounded in one day in Lebanon. Killed by Israel

BREAKING - Lebanon death toll rises to 492!!! from Israeli strikes today
1,645 wounded
35 kids and 58 women
— Lebanese health ministry
That is nearing half the toll of 34-day 2006 war in a single day.

Israel's savagery has normalized in the Western media the killing hundreds of Arabs a day. But this is not normalized among the rest of us. This is not normalized. The wounds among the living in the region run deep. These wounds will come to life and tell their story in many ways. In this case, the moral arc of history will bend towards justice. Full stop.

Deadliest day in memory in Lebanon-Israel conflict.

With a constant stream of US weapons & a political shield preventing accountability for its genocide in Gaza, Israel is now bombing Lebanon from south to north & issuing animated videos claiming nearly every civilian home in south Lebanon is a weapons depot or missile launch site

The Israeli Minister of Diaspora Affairs announced his ambition to conquer Lebanese territory, expanding Israel across the entire length of Lebanon's southern border. He calls to expel the entire "the Shia enemy population" from these areas & any possible "infiltration" routes.
Replying to @AmichaiChikli
לאור העובדה כי:
1. מדינת לבנון נכשלה במימוש ריבונותה במרחב דרום לבנון.
2. נפתחה כנגדנו מלחמה משטחה ללא שום התגרות מצדנו.
3. לבנון כשלה והיא איננה מסוגלת למממש את החלטות האו״ם 1559 הקוראת לפירוק המיליציות במדינה, והחלטה 1701 הקוראת למניעת הכנסת נשק וביצוע פעולות עויינות מדרום לבנון.
על מדינת ישראל מוטלת החובה לממש את ריבונותה, להגן על אזרחיה ובמקום להרחיק אותם מבתיהם, להדוף להרחיק מהם את האויב.
* על ההערכות המחודשת להישען על ניסיון אחד עשר החודשים החולפים: יישובים שמהם נורו טילי נ״ט יפונו מיושביהם וייכללו במסגרת אזור חיץ - אין לאפשר בשום מצב איום באש נ״ט ונשק קל על בתיהם של אזרחי ישראל.
* יש להשתלט על אזורים המאפשרים שליטה באש ובתצפית על יישויבנו וכן על אזורים שבשל נתוני תבליט ותכסית עשויים לשמש כנתיבי חדירה.
אזור חיץ מחודש, נקי מאוכלוסיית אויב הוא צו השעה וזה הדבר הנכון והצודק ביותר לעשות הן מבחינה ביטחונית, הן מבחינה מדינית והן מבחינה מוסרית.
מצורפת הצעה אפשרית לתוואי גבול מחודש: במרחב הגזרה המזרחית אי אפשר לסבול את כיתורה של מטולה והתקפתה מכל עבר, כמו גם התקפות נ״ט ליישובים סמוכי גדר כמו כפר יובל, דן והגושרים. יש להרחיב את השליטה בשטחים השולטים על יישובינו ולהרחיק מהמרחב אוכלוסיית אויב.
