Ben Gvir popped champagne on the Knesset floor to celebrate a death penalty law that only applies to Palestinians. In this analysis, I trace it back to the British Mandate and the ways colonial power still learns from and restores its own history: mondoweiss.net/2026/04/the-...

I wrote this essay to think through something that’s been with me a long time — the way Palestine surfaces as a weight others try to set down, and what it means to carry it anyway. From Kipling to Sliman Mansour’s porter to the bombs now falling on Tehran. communispress.com/the-burden-a...
