The storm blowing over Gaza has simply turned around and we Americans are feeling the blowback. Racism, colonialism, capitalism, patriarchy, and transphobia are all part of the same storm system.

There is usually no expiration date on such contracts, which means they can be cancelled at any time with enough pressure from the local community.
