Last week, several members of Dylan Saba’s extended family were killed in the bombing of the Saint Porphyrius Church of Gaza. He spoke with Darryl Li about grief and the tectonic shifts underway in the Israel-Palestine conflict.

yeah so that whole migrating to this app thing isn’t really working for me

standing with colonizers is a reflex so deep it’s the muscle memory of the west

a lot of useful background and insight in this interview with toufic haddad, including the chilling observation that for the zentity apartheid is just a holding pattern for worse things to come isj.org.uk/interview-isra…
