Sumud, crucifixion, and poetry: The life of Palestinian leader Tawfiq Zayyad – Mondoweiss

Tawfīq Zayyād accompanied by Amal and Rābʿa Murqus, the daughters of Nimer Murqus in Rāas an-Nāqūra. Photo from the Digital Archive of the Palestinian Museum. Unlike the author of this academic biography who never met the Palestinian leader Tawfiq Zayyad and only knew of him through the mainly Zionist Hebrew press, I knew Tawfiq Zayyad and respected him since the Nakba. At that life-changing juncture, he was nearly twice my age of eleven years, someone with literary promise, revolutionary bend of mind, daring, Palestinian nationalism, communist convictions and a booming voice to back it all up in his speeches. Yet this rising star was approachable even to me and my agemates. His harsh-edged voice was difficult to ignore especially with the-then-recent addition of loudspeakers.

Physics - Equitable Admissions in the Time of COVID-19

Equitable Admissions in the Time of COVID-19 2University of Southern California, Los Angeles, CA, USA December 17, 2020• Physics 13, 199 For this graduate admissions season and beyond, holistic review can help departments look beyond the tip of the iceberg of their applicants. × The COVID-19 pandemic, the Trump administration’s restrictions on international students, and a national movement for racial justice are compelling many physics programs in the US to rethink graduate admissions. While many leading programs have begun to make changes in recent years, others now have a new sense of urgency to reexamine their processes. To equitably evaluate applicants and avoid further disadvantaging the students most affected by these many challenges, we advocate for holistic review in graduate admissions review processes that systematically and thoughtfully take into account a variety of applicant experiences and credentials.

Trump s Incredibly Risky Taiwan Policy

So-called friends of Taiwan in the United States are putting the island at risk as never before. The Taiwan Travel Act, passed unanimously by both houses of Congress, and signed by President Trump on March 16, 2018 without reservations, could gravely erode the distinction between the United States’ official relationship with the People’s Republic of China (P.R.C.) and its unofficial relationship with Taiwan. The Taiwan Travel Act declares that “the United States Government should encourage visits between officials from the United States and Taiwan at all levels,” including “Cabinet-level national security officials, general officers, and other executive branch officials.” These provisions are inconsistent with U.S. commitments in a set of agreements known as the Joint Communiques, which together with the Taiwan Relations Act provide the framework for the official relationship between Washington and Beijing.
