Islamofobi och anti-arabisk/anti-palestinsk rasism är en konstitutiv del av vår livsvärld på ett sätt som gör att vi har svårt att se den. Det är ideologi i Zizeks mening. Om 50 eller 100 år kommer det kanske att bli uppenbart.

Särskilt med tanke på hur länge den retorik som banade väg för folkmordet har existerat i Israel (”ett land utan folk”, Golda Meirs ord om att ”palestinier har aldrig funnits”, etc.).

Source: Netanyahu expected to discuss expansion of Gaza offensive to areas where hostages could be located

Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is expected to convene the security cabinet to discuss an expansion of the war in Gaza, a source involved in the matter told Haaretz on Monday.

The source added that the cabinet meeting will also discuss invading areas of the Gaza Strip where the Israeli hostages could be located

Israeli media reports that the cabinet is gearing up to instruct the IDF to occupy all parts of the Gaza Strip.
The implications are a severe escalation of the carnage, starvation, and ethnic cleansing.
UK+EU sanctions should preempt this catastrophe - not respond to it belatedly.

EU-US trade deal explained On 27 July 2025, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and US President Donald J. Trump agreed a deal on tariffs and trade.

That EU trade deal? Says the EU:

"The political agreement of 27 July 2025 is not legally binding. [T]he EU and the US will further negotiate…to fully implement the political agreement.

True of course. I just wanted to make it extra clear, since there is an ingrained Western view of famines in Africa and the "third world" as mainly being caused by natural disasters like bad harvests etc.

Child Amputees, Aid Massacres, Mass Starvation—the Israeli War Crimes NYT Covers Less than Mamdani and 'Globalize the Intifada' Theoretical, third order, speculative violence must be condemned while actual, real world mass violence, that actually exists in reality, is seen as normal and unworthy of sustained coverage.

In the past month NYT has published 32 articles that mention Mamdani and “globalize the intifada", 13 that mention Israel's fake "aid" agency that's killed 800+, 5 on Israel's starvation campaign and two that mention, in passing, child amputees in Gaza. I argue this is makes no sense and is depraved

Lawyers file case against EU Commission and Council for 'failure to act' on Gaza genocide Lawyers specialising in international law will file an “action for failure to act” with the European Court of Justice on Thursday for the inaction of the EU Commission and Council in the massacres perpetrated by the Netanyahu government. This is the first time this has happened.

A regime in which members of parliament representing a minority can be expelled because of things they say can be called many things. Democracy isn't one of them.
