“Despite the overwhelming evidence we see before us, still nothing changes. The war continues…”

“But the failure is not in the descriptions of what is happening in Gaza. The failure, as Lina Mounzer wrote, is ‘of the rotten substructure of the world within which this language is meant to function’. … Israel’s allies force an adaptation on to the world after which it simply becomes accepted that rights are not bestowed by humanity, but by the parties who decide who is human.”

“As the murder continues, what stops it from being a perfect crime is that people remain on the scene, loudly call it murder, point to the culprit, say the names of the dead, mourn them, hold vigils, and fiercely protect their rights for restitution.”
