  • Rapt to see my book, ‘Pills, Powder and Smoke: Inside the Bloody War On Drugs’, at a major independent bookstore in #Mumbai #India. It’s just been released in an #Indian edition with a newly written foreward. It’s out with @panmacmillanindia. Thanks to legend @hamish.cairns for spotting it and sending my way. #journalism #warondrugs #drugwar #endthedrugwar #massivepopulation
  • So rare to see strawberries 🍓 from #Gaza in #Jerusalem even though it’s only less than 1.5 hours away. Due to a stifling #Israeli blockade, more than 12 years and counting, most goods are unable to enter #Israel from #Gaza. The effect is a devastated #Gaza economy. I remember spending time with farmers in #Gaza a few years ago, while tasting their fresh and sweet strawberries, and they lamented how hard it was to financially survive. Their strawberries often rot because they have nowhere to export them. #occupation #gazastrip #fruit #dailylife
  • The wonders of the Old City in #Jerusalem never fail to impress; the architecture, light and shade (even at night). #palestine #israel #history
  • Rapt to announce that my 2017 @versobooks title, ‘Disaster Capitalism: Making a Killing Out of Catastrophe’, has been released in a translated #Arabic edition (thanks to @kw_nccal). Now available across the #Arab world, an e-book + 43,000 physical copies are in circulation for only US$1 per copy, I’m pleased that the book will now see a wider audience because the issue of people and corporations making $ from misery is global. When my first book, My Israel Question, was released in a 2012 Arabic translation, it helped spread its message beyond the relatively narrow English speaking world. Details in bio. #journalism #book #translation #world
  • We took a fascinating tour in #Palermo #Sicily with an immigrant, Ibrahim from #GuineaConakry, who showed us where and how newly arrived migrants try and start a new life. #Italy is increasingly hostile to refugees but a small community of locals and foreigners have come together to offer solidarity and practical support. So glad @ali_m_martin ❤️spotted this tour. #italy #salviniparassita #racism #resistance
  • #Palermo #Sicily is a magical city because of its ancient history and more recent attempts to kick out the mafia. Incredible to read that as recently as the early 1990s, the mafia controlled the streets and much of society. #italy #resistance #light #winter #toddlerstrut
