Last week, several members of Dylan Saba’s extended family were killed in the bombing of the Saint Porphyrius Church of Gaza. He spoke with Darryl Li about grief and the tectonic shifts underway in the Israel-Palestine conflict.

Colonization and imperialism had been exerting pressure within a relatively stable set of relationships. All that changed in the earthquake of Hamas’s October 7 attack.

Yeah it’s weird. Everything that makes the other place so terrible is also what makes it harder to leave especially in times like this

a lot of useful background and insight in this interview with toufic haddad, including the chilling observation that for the zentity apartheid is just a holding pattern for worse things to come isj.org.uk/interview-isra…

Gallant commanded Israeli forces in Gaza in the 1990s and was the architect of the 2008-2009 onslaught. Gunning to be a three-time loser here.

seeing the video of the abominable erez crossing in the hands of the colonized reminded me of all the times i walked through there marveling at how empty it seemed, like dude where are the soldiers at. of course politics is about making the inconceivable suddenly seem obvious.

we can't rule out the possibility -- and the zentity surely hasn't -- that there are other cadres who crossed the fence but remain hidden and will only strike later. which is to say the feeling of unsettlement will continue to haunt.
