An article in the peer-reviewed medical journal The Lancet, using the conservative estimate of 4 indirect deaths in Gaza for every one direct death (in other conflicts it’s been 3-15x), calculates that Israel has killed approximately 186,000 Palestinians. That is 8% of the population of Gaza.

“If we say nothing about Israel’s brazen slaughter of Palestinians, even as it is livestreamed into the most private recesses of our personal lives, we are complicit in it. Something in our moral selves will be altered forever.”

If you ask 50 people their favorite Steve Albini project, you’ll probably get 50 different answers since he worked with so many artists. Today, mine is probably PJ Harvey’s “Rid of Me.”

Netanyahu only cares about staying in power. He has no regard for human life, certainly not that of Palestinians but also certainly not that of Israelis. That Biden keeps enabling him is unconscionable.

NYPD dep. commish says he “found a book on terrorism” at Columbia. From the Oxford UP website, the book answers the questions, “What is terrorism? Is it war? Is democracy especially vulnerable to terrorist attacks? What can we do to stop it?” This is how you seed a genocide-justifying moral panic.

Here was me thinking that when Jonathan Glazer said dehumanisation was a prelude to industrial murder, he was arguing that dehumanisation and industrial murder were bad... But sure, he could just be in an unfathomable fit of quasi-religious, totalitarian ecstacy. That definitely seems real.

reading edward said’s “the question of palestine” again, i’m only at the preface, and it’s incredible how clear this was even back in the ‘90s when he was revisiting the original version of his book. and yet we’re still repeating this same simple argument, hoping people will listen.
