Today the London Review of Books is publishing my piece about the history of the Israeli settlements around the Gaza Strip. It is an effort to think through the historical context of current events. lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v45/…
.Francis Gooding wrote an excellent piece in London Review of Books about how the strategy of ‘air policing’ was used in the British Empire (and elsewhere, including now in Gaza) to justify indiscriminate bombing of civilians. It was never about “humanitarian concerns”. lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v45/…
"How do we live in this country now? I do not see that there are good futures in a place whose institutions and representatives have chosen genocide."// newsocialist.org.uk/transmissions/… via New Socialist
‘A new kind of anachronism has overtaken the Imperial War Museums: it now stands for values that its own government has reneged on.’ Francis Gooding on the memorialisation of conflict at the Imperial War Museum: lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v46/…
This piece by Owain Gerald in New Socialist captures exactly how I feel about Palestine: newsocialist.org.uk/transmissions/…. After genocide anything and everything is now possible. Liberal humanism is dead.
ComGen Philippe Lazzarini: the highest number of people ever recorded as facing human-made famine, along with mass killings, constant harm & creation of conditions that gut life of humanity has a name: Genocide. Israel wants no witnesses, no truth-tellers. Respect & solidarity.

wrote about Maurice Godelier's work on incest for London Review of Books... takeaway here is that 'incest prohibitions' effectively *precede* incest as such, so Freud and Levi-Strauss and everyone else who thinks they were invented to outlaw incest have it the wrong way round
