UntoldMag.org is a platform that challenges the established and amplifies the untold, bridging the gaps between rigorous analysis and accessible discourse and reimagining knowledge as a shared, dynamic, decentralized, and deeply situated experience.
Rather than framing online harm as a failure of moderation, this article conceptualises technoviolence as a structural condition: violence embedded in profiling, classification, visibility, and enforcement - long before it appears as spectacle.

“Attention collapse”.
“Ideophobia”.
“Platform brutality”.

Terms Geert Lovink uses to describe the present moment: post-COVID, shaped by war, climate collapse, inflation, and deepening digital dependence.

Independent Kashmiri journalist Umer Beigh traces how demolitions, surveillance, and laws like AFSPA erase memory and deny justice, echoed in the haunting story of Mohammad Ashraf Mattoo, still seeking accountability for his son’s killing 15 years later.

How do nostalgia, self-Orientalism, moral purity, and masculinity connect Bab al-Hara to the revived Umayyad dream in post-Assad Syria?

Colonial erasure often works through language that speaks endlessly about land, culture, and strategy, while excluding the people who live there.

Rachid crossed borders to reach Spain, but found a system built to exploit him.
He now works under minimum wage, in suffocating heat, and lives lack water and sanitation.

“No bomb ever brought us liberation.”

7 women, from Palestine, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, and Afghanistan, share what it means to survive wars waged in the name of “saving” them.

In much Western coverage, Palestinian deaths appear in the passive voice: “were killed,” “were found under rubble”.
The actor of violence disappears from the sentence.

“If I Die. I Want a Loud Death”: Reclaiming The Palestinian Narrative Through Social Media

For decades, Western mainstream media coverage of Palestine has relied on decontextualised language that strips violence of responsibility. Palestinians appear as numbers, while occupation, apartheid, and the Nakba remain largely absent.

Symbols become sites of repression: the inverted red triangle was framed as a “Nazi reference,” and a doctoral student holding a “NEVER AGAIN” sign was arrested and had their poster confiscated.

These visual and textual acts function as “crucial diaries” of resistance and solidarity at a time when pro-Palestinian voices are underrepresented in German and Western European media and art spaces, and suppressed on social media.

As the essay argues, “this process of removal, covering, editing, and commenting on each other… reflects broader issues of visibility and grievability,” particularly for Palestinians in Germany.
December 16, 2025 at 2:49 PM
In Berlin, this cycle of removal and counter-commentary is especially visible around Palestinian expression, whose presence in public space remains contested.
December 16, 2025 at 2:49 PM
This removal does not come only from authorities.
“If not the authorities, then ‘ordinary people’” tear down, cover, cross out, or modify each other’s messages in public space.

Street art is “a game,” as graffiti writers describe it, what is written, pasted, or stencilled on a wall is always temporary, exposed to removal, alteration, or replacement.

Because the voices of the oppressed - whether erased from archives, forests, or public space - do not disappear. They persist, despite every attempt to overwrite them.

The continuum becomes clear: colonial memory buried in forests and archives; political repression enacted in courtrooms and police stations; a state identity that renders solidarity suspicious.

Meris links these forms of erasure to the systems she witnessed in the occupied West Bank: surveillance, intimidation, racial profiling. Different contexts, but logics that resonate, structures designed to control movement, visibility, and resistance.

In the family archive, Palestinian labour is everywhere but unnamed. Daily interactions before 1948 left no trace of the workers who built and sustained the settlements. Even the Nakba - when over 80% of Haifa’s Palestinians were displaced - was “never really thought about.”

For M, a Syrian refugee arrested for the same reason, this criminalisation carries the threat of deportation. For Meris, it revived a much longer history, one embedded in their own Swiss-German family archive.

In their visual essay for UntoldMag, Stellar Meris begins with a moment of police violence in Berlin: an arrest at an anti-colonial protest for carrying the Palestinian flag. Officers claimed “Palestine has nothing to do with colonialism” and likened the flag to the Swastika.
