Israel eyes wider Gaza sweep (Reuters)
Bah! Give me a break. I noticed there wasn't a thread up for the discussion of this horrific Israeli war of pretense. All I have to say is that as Israel keeps this up, as they attempt to strip any human attribute from the palestinians, they create people whose subjectivities are built entirely around resistance. As much as it seems grimly satisfying that they're creating the tools for their own destruction, I find this to be an unacceptable assault with a similarly unacceptable response from the "international community." The only possible objections are "humanitarian," which depoliticize the situation and skirt the fact that this "crisis" has a cause. Please pardon the rant, but i find myself visibly upset here...
