Israel’s digital siege of Gaza is another effort to wipe out proof of our existence In June, the internet vanished without warning, cutting us off from the world and each other

“In peace, the internet feels like a luxury—a way to escape or entertain yourself. But in war, it becomes a vital lifeline, pumping life, information, & connection.”

Israel’s digital siege is another effort to wipe out proof of our existence, writes Taqwa Ahmed Al-Wawi in this dispatch from Gaza.

There’s a megalithic site just north of us here in Cork called Goats Hill Anomalous Stone Group which is also a wicked band name…they could do support for Celtic Field System!
