The number of “cides” in Gaza is growing, but beyond its destruction of schools, hospitals, farmland and entire family lineages, Israel is also engaging in historicide — the destruction of history itself — argues @lsmwilson.bsky.social in @newlinesmag.bsky.social

The pollution of Gaza’s air and water will not respect political boundaries. From birth defects to increased rates of cancer, people across the region, including in Israel, will pay a price for years to come, argues Lesley Joseph for @newlinesmag.bsky.social

Palestinian children have been killed at a rate of more than one child per hour during Israel's war in Gaza.
“A whole classroom of children killed every day for nearly two years,” UNICEF’s executive director said.

Hard to find a unique angle on a saturated topic like Epstein but @benlorber8.bsky.social has done just that — he examines the antisemitic underbelly of the MAGA obsession with the billionaire pedophile and warns against progressive amplification of these narratives.

A pair of MUST reads at @newlinesmag.bsky.social — @shaneburley.bsky.social on Laura Loomer and Jewish MAGA's danse macabre, @benlorber8.bsky.social on the antisemitic core of MAGA's obsession with Epstein and why progressives have no business jumping on the bandwagon. Ideology critique at its best.

My latest for @newlinesmag.bsky.social on just one form of destruction in Gaza - historicide. The erasure of archives - and the attempts to build alternative archives - changes how history in the future will be told.

The head of the FBI, Kash Patel, has the power to root out what he sees as America’s enemy within — the so-called “Deep State.” A close reading of a trilogy he wrote for children sheds light on his motivations, writes @lsmwilson.bsky.social.
