@Academicatarms Thank you. Gaza has become a terrible measure of Western and Muslim complexes alike, exposing a shared destitution beneath very different relations to power. Each day makes it clearer: the exposure is also a reckoning, a corrupt order breaking down as a new world comes into view.
@SeemaJilani @danpjsheehan @lithub That's a powerful fusion of moral gravity and literary grace, Seema. Bosnia, Gaza, Kashmir, Myanmar, Xinjiang—a clear pattern of dehumanization, persecution and abandonment hardening into the architecture of our world, isn't it? To let it go unanswered is to cede humanity’s soul.

Copy of tweet here: Where India, or nice, White, Christian America for that matter, may yet make Gaza seem a teddy bear's picnic by comparison. What then, when a global politico-media complex fuses across state borders to significantly "other" a culture or race? Where is the archetypal trend headed?
