Mohammad Nahleh's writing is mind-bogglingly good:

Before lifting even a single stone, my cousins summoned the sheikh. Dusk arrived with precision, its timing not incidental but necessary, blunting the harsh contours of ruin and signaling the beginning of cleansing. The sheikh walked the length of the house, stepping carefully over shrapnel, past piles of waste, past stains that would take weeks to scrub away. He did not touch anything, did not move what had been broken or displaced. His voice rose into the walls, amplified by the thickening darkness, filling spaces where soldiers had settled. He recited verses meant to drive out the lingering residues of their failed occupation. Where they had mapped conquest, he mapped return. Every room, every doorway, every shadowed corner was named and restored, enacting what M. Jacqui Alexander describes in Pedagogies of Crossing as a dimension of spiritual labor that renders the sacred and the disembodied palpable and tangible.3 To name the house anew was to re-situate it within a spiritual jurisdiction unrecognizable to colonial cartographies. Then they turned to the trees, carrying water as if approaching old friends. The trees had been there long before the house, had witnessed war and return, had bent under the weight of airstrikes, and had held their ground even as fire licked their branches. Some were charred, some snapped in half, some stripped bare. One by one, they watered them, not out of necessity but out of reverence. As always, they tended to them in darkness, when the night loosened the grip of the sun, when the soil could absorb rather than resist, when the land itself, weary yet waiting, was most receptive to repair. They placed their hands on the trunks, whispered apologies, and asked forgiveness. In this quiet exchange, the night did not merely conceal; it enabled. It dulled the imperial eye and sharpened their own, allowing a different kind of labor to emerge—one grounded in what darkness makes possible, not as metaphor but as method.

This is exactly right. Israeli security apparatus has been humiliated in Khiyam. They need to reinforce their masculinity through as much death and devastation as they can.

As the U.S. uses sanctions and tariffs against those who seek to hold Israel accountable for genocide, @shahdhm.bsky.social and I have organised this panel on economic and physical coercion with an excellent group of speakers: twailr.com/webinar-geno...

Again ignorant reporting by @BBC. Hamas's response didn't include omissions - it simply referred to international law when addressing the illegal aspects of the proposal. Review here: www.ohchr.org/en/press-rel...
