Everyone - "Wow, that's like the definition of fascism, right here" Informed commentators - "No this is not actually fascism, you see, because historical fascism of the 1930s and 1940s blah blah blah blah blah"

A British surgeon returned from Gaza says Israeli soldiers were shooting at aid-seekers “almost like a game of target practice". He also said formula doctors had packed to bring with them was the only item confiscated by Israeli authorities before entry. Formula. news.sky.com/story/almost...
Elsewhere in the interview, Dr Maynard claimed Israeli soldiers are shooting civilians at aid points "almost like a game of target practice".

The IDF said it "categorically rejected" claims of "intentional harm to civilians, particularly in the manner described".

Dr Maynard claimed he has operated on boys as young as 11 who had been "shot at food distribution points" run by the US and Israel-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation.

"They had gone to get food for their starving families and they were shot," he said.

"I operated on one 12-year-old boy who died on the operating table because his injuries were so severe."

The thing about all these fucking statements now from world leaders calling for the food to be let in to Gaza: you have the ability to impose sanctions on Israel and every second you spend talking instead of imposing them is a collaborationist lie.

New open access piece! I trace how financialized capitalism seeps into our emotional lives via William Gibson’s Pattern Recognition, a novel where Homo economicus meets burnout, uncertainty, and what I call “speculative fatigue”. Speculation isn’t just economic—it’s existential and affective.

There is just no getting around this bit from the latest Chotiner interview. Doctors Without Borders has never seen this before: the number of civilian casualties, the inescapability of death, the fact that everyone knows what is happening BUT IT DOESN'T STOP.
Doctors Without Borders has been present in a lot of horrific conflict zones, & I'm wondering how what you're dealing with now is similar or different from other places you have experienced?

It's different. And yes, I have worked in conflict zones & they're always very nasty. But this is a particularly brutal thing because of the huge number of civilian casualties. And they can't escape it. They can't move. They're told to displace down south. But are we talking about just reducing the area from forty-five kilometres to twenty kilometres in length and trying to put two million people in there, which is ... It's just an extraordinary situation. And no, I haven't seen it.

They haven't stopped bombing. They're still bombing. They've got troops in there with tanks. And it's just consistent. It's well documented. We are seeing it all over the world in all the newspapers and television. So it's like people know exactly what's happening. And yet it doesn't stop. I haven't seen that before.
