Israel's policy of blocking international reporters from entering Gaza is cruel and aims to prevent the world from learning about the unfolding genocide. Tragically, the mainstream press has rarely mentioned the restriction, let alone condemned it.

[A]n anthropology that is always in pursuit of ontological multiplicity and the highlighting of existing dominated and overshadowed modes of existence. [a] mistake to see in the highlighting of such minor realities an intrinsically anti-capitalist act.

THOSE WHO TAKE THE MEAT FROM THE TABLE
Teach contentment.
Those for whom the contribution is destined
Demand sacrifice.
Those who eat their fill speak to the hungry
Of wonderful times to come.
Those who lead the country into the abyss
Call ruling too difficult
For ordinary men.

Look at them, policy report to advance their pathetic careers and the recruitment of their unis, as they flush the brains of entire generations (and hence the future) down the toilet. The sheer fact that this shit is published is already a parody.

Trump shared a message from his ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee, who told him he was “chosen by God” for this moment and compared him to Truman in 1945—just before the U.S. nuked Japan.

These are the same people calling Iran a theocratic threat.
