#we owe gaza endurance

Nakba Memorial Protest / Frankfurt, Germany / May 2024.

[ahmedpalestine]

In these difficult moments my family is going through in the Gaza Strip, their suffering worsens day by day. The Israeli army has threatened to completely evacuate the Al-Maghazi camp and parts of central Gaza, forcing my family to flee on foot without being able to take anything with them. Now, they are wandering amidst immense destruction, with no clear destination or place to go, amidst the growing numbers of displaced people from those areas.

In our last call, they were struggling to secure a place to protect them from danger, searching for clothes, food, and basic necessities for life. With their phone batteries running out, our communication was cut off, and now I have no idea about their fate or where they have gone. My heart is filled with worry, as they live a life resembling a continuous nightmare, a suffering that the world cannot truly grasp through screens.

H ow long will this torment continue? How long will my family, in every call, give me their final wishes as if it’s the last time? How long will I continue to follow the lists of the dead, fearing that my loved ones might be among them?

I plead with you to stand with my family during these difficult times. They are in dire need of your support and help. Time is running out, and we need to secure their safe exit from Gaza. The harsh conditions they are enduring have compelled me to seek assistance. If you cannot help directly, please do not let my message stop with you. Share it as widely as you can, hoping it reaches someone who can offer help.

Every day you remember my family, at least remember them by sharing this message. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.🙏🍉

"it is obvious the world is starting to move on from Gaza. Know that just because you don't see dead children on your screen as often as you did, does not mean it's not happening every single day. In fact, the situation is getting much worse. Much more dire. Much more desperate each day this genocide continues.

We owe Gaza our endurance, please don't quit."

Promises Kept.

January 5, 2024

ROBERT B. HUBBELL

When Joe Biden declared his candidacy for president in 2019, the nation was bruised, battered, and divided by three years of Trump's unrelenting chaos and carnage. During Biden’s year-long campaign, Trump plunged America into darker waters as he tried to extort Ukraine into fabricating lies about Joe Biden and his son. Trump then engaged in gross dereliction of duty by mishandling the nation’s response to Covid, ultimately resorting to lies and quackery as the death toll mounted.

Biden stepped into the breach, promising “to restore the soul, honor, dignity, and decency” of America. In word and deed, Biden has kept those promises—despite virulent and violent opposition by MAGA extremists who sought to prevent the peaceful transfer of power—and who still seek to destroy our democracy today.

Historians may view Biden’s greatest success as the restoration of normalcy, decency, and rationality to the executive branch of the US government. Biden’s legislative accomplishments are historic and will be an enduring legacy standing alone.

Identifying Biden’s legislative successes is easy; identifying the depth and breadth of Biden’s restoration of decency and rationality is more difficult—because living in a normal frame of reference is subtle and ineffable. It infuses every aspect of democracy and political discourse. It is the absence of chaos, it is not waking up every morning thinking, “Oh, God. What has he tweeted now?”, and it is not hearing every governmental action re-interpreted through Trump's lenses of narcissism, delusion, and insecurity.

Joe Biden acts within a rational political framework. His policies can be praised or criticized because they exist (in writing) and reflect the reasoned judgment of Biden and his staff after a period of reflection and debate. They are not made up “on the fly” in response to reporters’ questions shouted over the noise of helicopter rotors.

The return to normalcy, decency, and dignity is neither sexy, compelling, nor “made for TV.” But it was precisely what the nation needed after the chaos of Trump's tenure as president. Joe Biden kept his promises. For that, we owe him a debt of gratitude that we must repay in 2024.

On the eve of the third anniversary of January 6, Biden is launching his 2024 campaign in earnest. In a political ad previewed on MSNBC, Biden said that he is making “the preservation of democracy” the centerpiece of his campaign. In the ad, Biden says, in part,

All of us are being asked, “What will we do to maintain our democracy?” History is watching. The world is watching. Most importantly, our children and grandchildren will hold us responsible . . . .

A campaign theme of “preserving democracy” is neither sexy, compelling, nor “made for TV.” But it is precisely what the nation needs as it stares into the abyss of a second Trump term as president.

I have heard from dozens of readers this week who are disappointed with Biden’s responses regarding immigration and the war in Gaza. Some have suggested that they will not vote or will vote for a third-party candidate. Both of those options are the functional equivalent of voting for Trump.

The freedom to criticize the president is a privilege of our democracy guaranteed in the Constitution. We can debate presidential policies only if we have a democratic frame of reference within which to hold those debates.

That democratic frame of reference will exist under a second Biden term. Under Trump, the democratic frame of reference will be replaced by a simple test: Does speech praise Trump? If not, the speaker will act at their peril. Trump’s vigilantes will threaten the speaker, and state and federal agencies will pretend the threats are harmless jokes or over-exuberant expressions of loyalty to Trump.

The threat of vigilantism to punish speech is not hyperbole. As we approach the third anniversary of January 6, elected officials who criticize Trump or apply the law to his unlawful conduct are being deluged with death threats. They are being “swatted” by sick individuals who call 9-1-1 to make false reports of crimes in progress—resulting in the deployment of armed emergency responders to the elected officials’ homes.

Like Joe Biden, Trump has made promises. He has promised his followers that, if re-elected, “I will be your retribution.” He has also promised that he will be a dictator “on day one” if he is elected to a second term.

Joe Biden has kept his promise “to restore the soul, honor, dignity, and decency” of America. We should take Biden at his word that he will work to preserve democracy if re-elected in 2024.

As with Biden, we should take Trump at his word: He will exact retribution and act as a dictator on day one of his second term.

The competing promises of Trump and Biden tell us everything we need to know about the choice we face in the 2024 election.

Concluding Thoughts.

The choice between presidential candidates in 2024 could not be starker. There is no ambiguity, nuance, or grey area. We must help Joe Biden communicate that fundamental difference and help people understand that the choice in 2024 is not about policies or the economy. It is about democracy—and whether we are for it or against it.

Hamas and Egypt were quick to issue statements denouncing the capture of the Rafah border crossing, claiming that the move would "threaten" the lives of the Palestinians and hinder the entry of humanitarian and relief aid into the Gaza Strip.

The Egyptians and Hamas have good reason to be angry with the presence of the IDF at the Palestinian side of the Rafah border crossing. For several years, Palestinians who wanted to exit the Gaza Strip via the terminal have alleged that they had to bribe Hamas and officials. Hamas and Egypt are now afraid of losing the Palestinian milk-cow.

"It is our right to travel without bribes and without corruption. We are living under a [Hamas] dictatorship." Abu Amr was later arrested by Hamas security officers, who confiscated her mobile phone and ordered her to delete the Facebook post. — Noha Abu Amr, Palestinian journalist, 24.ae, January 24, 2024

[A] Palestinian man in the US [said] he paid $9,000 to get his wife and children on the list. On the day of travel, he was told his children's names were not listed and he would have to pay an extra $3,000. He said the brokers were "trying to trade in the blood of Gazans".

[T]he company [Hala Consulting and Tourism Services] owned by an influential Egyptian businessman and ally of President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi] is estimated to have made a minimum of $118 million from desperate Palestinians trying to leave the Gaza Strip. "By the end of this year, if the April average continues, the company may earn well over half a billion dollars from the so-called VIP list of people Hala is transferring across the Gaza-Egypt border. " — Middle East Eye, May 1, 2024.

An international charity [that does not want to be named] with extensive experience in providing emergency aid in wars...is also being forced to pay $5,000 per truck to a company linked to Egypt's General Intelligence Service (GIS) to get aid into the Gaza Strip. — Middle East Eye, January 30, 2024.

The Palestinians actually owe Israel a huge debt of gratitude for finally driving Hamas out of the Palestinian side of the Rafah border crossing.

Egypt and Hamas are, it seems, indifferent to the pain endured by the Palestinians they are effectively imprisoning. All that matters to them is making more money off anyone desperate to leave the Gaza Strip.

[4ft10tvlandfangirl]

Anyone remember Saving Private Ryan? How after one woman lost three out of four of her sons on the frontlines of World War II the US military brass decided in an unprecedented move that they owed the poor mother to get her last son back to her? Because how much loss could one person take?

This little scene has no dialogue but several years later its still as impactful as ever and as a movie buff I couldn't stop my mind from straying here after witnessing Wael Al-Dahdouh receive his son Hamza today.

He's lost so many members of his family. I honestly grieve for him and he's not the only one who has experienced this pain. There are Palestinians who've lost 15+, 20+, 30+ members of their family in just 3 months. There are children who are the last of their family. Worse still, there are families that have been completely wiped out.

If we can empathise with this fictional mother's loss (although loosely based on a true story), what block are some still having with sympathising with the people of Gaza? No one should have to endure this kind of loss or grief and everyone else should at least want to put an end to it. Because how much loss can one person take? Let alone thousands?

Come on man. Ceasefire NOW. Free Palestine 🇵🇸

[deacons-wig]

lol. lmao, even.

This, right on the heels of the Pulitzer Prize board, which awards Pulitzer Prizes for excellence in journalism (and was founded by Columbia University), on witch the president of Columbia University Minouche Shafik sits, has issued a statement commending student journalists' incredible work covering student activists' demands for Columbia's divestment from Israel and the escalating conflict on campus. The president of Columbia testified in Congress, maligned their purpose and capitulated with legislators hellbent on destroying free speech and right to assembly. She suspended students (and is being investigated by the Department of Ed. for discrimination against Palestinian students), called in a militarized police force, locked down campus, and put student journalists in situations that career journalists have trouble covering. See the timeline verifying these events here.

This is abusive. Gaslighting. This is called manufacturing consent. Meanwhile the same thing is happening at UCLA. And any other campus with a strong student journalism presence.

Meanwhile, in Gaza, journalists and their families are being murdered by IDF forces in unprecedented numbers. [x]

The names of those killed by Israeli forces since October 7 2023. Targeting, suppressing and killing journalists is a war crime, and something Israel has been documented as perpetuating since at least 2001.

Support journalist risking their lives in Gaza. They are the reason we know the genocidal conditions that the Palestinian people are enduring. The world owes them. Donate:

International Federation of Journalists

ARIJ - Arab Reporters for Investigative Journalism

If anyone has verified, direct links to journalists fundraising efforts, please add them to this post.

Stay strong students of the world. Eyes on Gaza. Don't talk to cops. Take care of each other. Palestine will be free within our lifetime.

Hi, you may remember me from this hit tweet in 2021: “Palestinians are demanding liberation, not donations.”

Palestinians are still demanding liberation, not just a 'humanitarian crisis' response.

AND

We whose taxes pay for bombs are all responsible to give liberatory amounts to keep as many people in Gaza alive as possible.

I feel responsible for my past & recent statements encouraging those of us not being bombed to focus only on direct action to stop genocide & not on making donations.

I still discourage donations to nonprofits/NGOs, but we who resist genocide should spend to keep people alive.

We can do both:

Refuse & resist genocide by getting in the way!!

AND

Give wildly & call on everyone we know to give wildly to keep as many Palestinians alive as we can !!

Until liberation, this is also our serious responsibility. It is our obligation as funders of genocide. ☁️

•••

We who have funded genocide-- whose countries, employers, schools, universities, cultural & religious institutions, favorite artists & performers have funded or profited from genocide:

We owe repair to Palestinians, especially in Gaza.

We owe it right now, yesterday & tomorrow.

We owe immediate and enduring repair for genocide done in our name and with our money, with our labor.

Such obligations surely terrify many, because to be responsible for Palestinian genocide now calls us to be responsible for many genocides, in this settler colony & elsewhere.

It is better to embrace these unfathomable & life-giving debts than to resign ourselves to continued deathmaking & abandonment.

May we all be caught up & held in the care & clarity of how much repair & reparation is needed to Teach Life. May we feel these duties as deep purpose.

I have more to say, but needed to say this. Have been needing to say this.

Am responsible & take responsibility & accept responsibility to be clear about this.

“If there is one thing that is abundantly clear, it is that Israelis don't give a damn how you and I think. They simply aren't bothered about public opinion or the U.N. or the ICJ. As long as they have the support of those with bombs and power, there is no consideration for justice and humanity. As we close in on 6 months of genocide, their intransigence is clear.

Although it is hard to imagine, we, the people must be twice as intransigent. They are counting on us to tap out, to back down, to admit that we are powerless, to put away our Palestinian flags and simply give up. If justice and humanity is to endure, we must have the stamina of an ultra-endurance athlete.

We must outlast the thoughtless hate of the West. We must ensure that there can be no brushing facts under the carpet. There can be no forgetting. There can be no peace for public figures that have supported genocide. Not today. Not tomorrow. Not ever.

As those poor souls that survived the previous holocaust taught us, we owe it to the innocent victims of Gaza to never forget.” … 💥

We owe Gaza our endurance. PLEASE DON'T STOP ‼️

Keep sharing and posting about what's happening in فلسطين. Keep praying for our brothers and sisters in فلسطين. Keep boycotting, and continue to have hope that this will all end soon with Allah's help and aid 🤍

Talking Happiness, Security, and Counterinsurgency with Laleh Khalili

Laleh Khalili is just a teacher in the College of Manchester within the Division of Politics and International Reports. In the last year, I’ve read her function, including Amount of Time In the Shadows: Confinement in Counterinsurgencies (Stanford University Press, 2013), in my own graduate work within the area of American Reports. In my own writing about the counterinsurgency operations being fought inside the Usa by means of militarized police and large incarceration, I’ve arrived at think about Khalili like a protection specialist whose observations are as essential to study as these of modern correspondents like Glenn Greenwald and my Protector US friend Spencer Ackerman.

Steven WATTS. Thrasher: are you able to inform me a little about oneself as well as your history. Where were you elevated? How will you determine when it comes to race?

Laleh Khalili: in certain methods my grant displays my peripatetic existence. I’ve invested a next of my entire life in a next in a variety of locations within the U.S. a town in Iran, concluding in Ny where I currently reside. The biggest regional device with that we determine may be the town in and so I am a Londoner nowadays, which I live—and. I’ve a reasonably untroubled connection with my very own womanhood, but I’ve shown a good deal as well as in struggling methods how this womanhood is produced or reformed through participating the kinships in my own existence (with parents, siblings, kids, buddies, and enthusiasts). I – Mark all multiple-choice with “Other” surveys that ask-me about my race; I’ve no faith; on which edge I’m bridging and my standing frequently depends. As well as about the foundation of my sex or background, I’ve not endured discrimination for factors I don’t usually comprehend. Actually the truth that I made a decision to focus on Israel/Palestine for my doctoral study didn’t affect my capability to secure educational work, since at that time I had been residing in the U.K., where regulating governmental or scholarly discourses around Israel/Palestine is much less pernicious and persistent than it’s within the U.S. (where I finished my doctorate).Our grant contains the scars of my very own individual background. Our parents were immigrants and prisoners. The encounters of and of confinement border crossings are shot through my documents.

Our grant contains my very own individual history’s scars. Our parents were immigrants and prisoners. The encounters of and of confinement border crossings are shot through my documents.

SWT: Your friend Lisa Hajjar has described that she’s frequently requested to weigh-in on feminism or “women’s issues” by common push as though she doesn’t focus on protection and also the military. Writing was observed in by I’ve, there aren’t lots of ladies learning security… and currently talking about or there aren’t lots openly regarded as protection specialists and of ladies permitted to be noticeably. Why do you consider this is?

LK: Several professions are profoundly gendered. “terrorism or “Security” studies” are undoubtedly gendered strong; but therefore is economy. Ladies are designed to work on human-rights, on sex, on material. Males are designed to do militaries, or the topics like assault . Nevertheless, this really is currently altering in really remarkable methods. A few of the many thrilling new grant in global relationships and crucial protection reports on from pain to logistics to battle to arms-control -fighting has been compiled by ladies.this type of protection pull is anything-but modern once the lady under consideration is definitely an interventionist, a hawk, a theoretician of pacification.

Regardless, it’s truly not whether a lady performing the difficult items that concerns was gendered like by an individual. It’s politics and this content of the function. Actually, inside an entire selection of areas of research and exercise needing to do with protection, counterinsurgency, combat, etc., it’s ladies who’re getting the middle phase, correctly simply because they contemplate it “sexy” for ladies to achieve this type of “hard” function. This type of protection pull is anything-but modern once the lady under consideration is definitely a theoretician of pacification, an interventionist, a hawk. The very best instance I will provide is of all of the ladies teachers and protection professionals who have been marketers and excellent promoters of the manual.

Laleh Khalili

SWT: In Amount of Time In the Shadows, you analyze four settings of procedures for managing communities via counterinsurgency: detention camps, extraterritorial detention, unseen or proxy detention, and large confinement.

LK: After I was studying the numerous balances of counterinsurgency conflicts through the lengthy twentieth-century, it appeared to me that there have been unique ways a captive of battle camping in a counterinsurgency differed from extraterritorial detention (on destinations or brigs) plus they nevertheless differed from prisons which were run by proxy causes. All these detention facilities offered a particular purpose: bang camps taken communities and required all “military-aged males” (a real administrative class) from the common populace; extraterritorial prisons supplied a diploma of independence from analysis, responsibility, and regulation; and proxy prisons supplied a chance for remarkable assault combined with credible deniability that utilizing a customer offers.

Many of these differed in the large detention of civilians, which transformed from huge applications of resettlement into in situ incarceration. Therefore, not just Gaza, or even the walls encompassing The West Bank, but additionally all of the surfaces, barbed-wire fences, sand berms, and digital entrances that encircled Fallujah and Tal Afar in Iraq and also the crisscrossing of Baghdad with walls that divided and segregated communities. These applications were meant not just to stress the civilians to aid the counterinsurgents, but fundamentally they certainly were socialengineering applications efficient on the longer and significantly bigger size compared to detention camps.

SWT: What would you model of the bulk, racialized confinement of 2.2 thousand individuals inside the U.S.? Would you visit a counterinsurgency tactic at the office using the large confinement of African Americans?

LK: Curiously, the type of large confinements that define the U.S. carceral routines possess some parallels with large detention of civilians—but these are mainly within the ways of monitoring and bureaucratic handle utilized from the detainees in both situations. However those types of large detention’s roots are unique. The program within the U.S. is just a disciplinary regimen completely meant to pacify the African American populace and that has substantial historic origins heading completely back again to captivity.

SWT: Because The Amount of Time In the Shadows guide was printed, which of its findings expected the Afghanistan, Iraq, and Palestine of Nov, 2015? Does something today shock you?

LK: I’ve to express I’m ruined by the way the area of the planet that we examine and that we seriously adore, the Mashriq (or Levant), is ruined from the echoes of the Battle on Horror. The development of ISIS owes anything towards the depredation of the raw Assad program, but its will, its government buildings, and its military proficiency were developed within the Battle on Horror. Moment was invested by the Caliph of ISIS at Camping Nama within the centre. That their sufferers are placed by them in red jumpsuits within their macabre eyeglasses of violence is terrible, however it likewise tips in the ancestry of the function. So I amazed? No. But I’m by viewing the remnants of assault revealed from the Battle on Horror however installing waste towards the area totally gutted.The Caliph of ISIS invested moment within the U.S. detention centre at Camping Nama. That their sufferers are placed by them in red jumpsuits within their macabre eyeglasses of violence is terrible however it likewise tips in the ancestry of the function.

SWT: Your guide arrived on the scene just a couple of of decades before Guantanamo Journal [by Mohamedou Ould Slahi]. What, about Slahi, are you aware if something whenever you posted your guide? Can you have transformed or included something in the event that you had recognized more?

LK: I’d have liked to incorporate their own speech, this articulate, amusing, shifting consideration of evening-today existence within the jail. Their fantastic book has verified a lot of my justifications, but might have included the guide and a level of individual encounter. Having said that, after I published numerous memoirs, the guide, quantities of composition, which I received liberally and individual balances of former criminals had been already printed.

SWT: Let’s discuss your 2014 Interpersonal Wording post The Uses of Joy in Counterinsurgencies. I’m forever fascinated by your concept of “the power of joy, a colonial-style along with a technocratic one.” What impressed one to begin looking at happiness within this way?

LK: I’ve become really thinking about efficient areas produced within the crucible of battle but additionally starvation. Additionally, in studying texts I certainly hit by how frequently “happiness” arrived up being a list of achievement of counterinsurgency and had been truly. I’d to create about that .

SWT: Your area on consuming tea to “win minds and minds” tells me concerning the current drive, including by President Barak, for more “community policing.” would you observe neighborhood monitoring like a type of counterinsurgency? Ferguson was come out before by your works, Mo blew the Dark Lives Issue motion up. Any ideas on what you’ve observed in Ferguson, Baltimore, and elsewhere within the U.S. because it pertains to that which you have experienced the U.S. salary overseas?

LK: of all of the issues you’ve described, the chaotic types of monitoring revealed along racial vectors, utilizing militarized means, techniques, and guns and against racialized systems within the U.S. comes nearest to counterinsurgency. They’ve a good deal related to the conflicts that are U.S.’ overseas. Besides the interchangeability of the employees and also the guns, several police divisions think-tanks like RAND help and purposely follow precepts of downtown pacification this conflation.
