Athlete Ibram Al-Khalili documents another round of “aid” being airdropped into north Gaza. As you can see, the airdrops cause chaos on the ground that puts starving people into dangerous situations. Even worse, Ibram estimates that about 90% of airdrops land in the ocean, causing desperate people to enter the harsh surf in search of food. Many of them drown.

Laleh Khalili, A Habit Of Destruction, «Society and Space», August 25, 2014

«The devastation to which Gaza has been subjected in the last few weeks seems to be yet another repetition of Israeli settler-colonial apparatus’ habit of destruction. Gaza has become emblematic of this habit, because in recent years it has so frequently been subjected to bombing while under a state of siege, but like all settler-colonialisms, the violence of the state is rooted not in an episodic “cycle of violence” but in the very ideology and practice of the settler-colonial movement.»

Again and again [in the 1950s], the oil companies acted as indistinguishable agents of their home states or as sovereigns over the oil. The maritime boundaries between states were decided in conversations between competing oil officials in the US or UK rather than between the rulers of those states. For example, to decide the seabed frontiers between Bahrain and Saudi Arabia, British and US diplomats mobilised the officials of BAPCO and Aramco to speak to one another. In many of the contracts allocating Gulf subsea resources in the 1950s, British oil companies called for arbitration of disputes to take place in English forums. A prominent clause of their contracts stipulated that the arbitrators for any dispute be chosen by ‘His Majesty’s Government and the Company’ and for British commercial laws to be sovereign in these cases. British Petroleum, its antecedent Anglo-Iranian Oil Company, and their subsidiaries acted as an arm of the British state because they were.

Hookah Base in the Shape of a Dolphin

Mughal India, 17th century

The Khalili Collections MTW 1500

“Smoking was introduced into the Mughal empire at the end of Akbar’s reign, when Asad Beg, one of his noblemen, brought tobacco and hookahs, or waterpipes, back from Bijapur in the Deccan. Asad Beg reported that tobacco was well known at Mecca and Medina and presented Akbar with a fine jewelled pipe with a mouthpiece of Yemeni carnelian. Although Akbar’s physician forbade him to smoke, the fashion for hookahs soon caught on and, as in Iran, various objects were adapted to hold the scented water through which the tobacco smoke passed. These included coconuts and various types of glass vessel, including bottles in which Dutch gin was exported, as well as spherical containers shaped like Indian waterpots [see MTW 1558]. These rested on rings or collars so that they stood upright. In addition, small hand-held hookah bases were made, some in the shape of mangoes or other fruit, or even in animal form and, as in this case, a dolphin.”
