Last week, several members of Dylan Saba’s extended family were killed in the bombing of the Saint Porphyrius Church of Gaza. He spoke with Darryl Li about grief and the tectonic shifts underway in the Israel-Palestine conflict.

Tectonic Shifts | Dylan Saba

Gallant commanded Israeli forces in Gaza in the 1990s and was the architect of the 2008-2009 onslaught. Gunning to be a three-time loser here.

Read alongside the recent NYT piece on US buying South Korean arms to free up supplies for Ukraine, fascinating how Washington is using its most militarized client states as the munitions equivalents of offshore bank accounts.

"the prevailing scholarly emphasis on the elimination of the native, at the expense of labor exploitation, not only is an analytical shortcoming but also obscures the link between the political/economic/military violence of the extraction of Palestinian labor-power by different means." So good!
