Colonialism, genocide, capitalism & extractivism work hand in hand.
Behind all the ahistorical fictional rhetoric about religious rights & βcivilizationβ there will be economic greed that sees everything in a piece of land, including humans, as resources to be exploited.

βWhen we are crafting a design strategy, we have to ask ourselves: how much of that is about their survival? Is that sufficient? How much of this do we foresee helping a future free Gaza or free Palestine? And how much of this is actually just normalizing colonization & occupation?β

We keep hearing about reconstruction plans & initiatives but how much do we really know about them & their feasibility as the #gazagenocide continues w/ complete impunity.

The tactics ICE is using--thugs in plain clothes kidnapping people simply for their political views--these tactics were developed by the US and spread across the world to hunt down Leftists from Latin America to Indonesia. They've also been used locally for decades to terrorize Black communities.

For me, itβs the normalization of absurdity.
Trump was a joke less than a decade ago but his politics are now the norm and he is feared instead of ridiculed. I am afraid everything an emboldened Trump does now will also become the norm, including his fantasies about Gaza, the region & the world.

When I see these this type of news it really weighs on me that those in the shadows of power will hold on to the status quo so tight before they let revolution liberate the millions.
Our region has some serious rot that can no longer be cured. The whole tree needs to come down.

Netanyahu asked U.S. for AI chip export waiver
Israel hopes the Trump administration will change the Biden-era export control framework or upgrade Israel's status, an Israeli official said.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu asked U.S. Secretary of Commerce nominee Howard Lutnick during their meeting in Washington on Friday to give Israel a waiver that would exempt it from proposed regulatory controls on advanced AI chips, two sources with knowledge of the issue said.
