The language of “victory” becomes so hollow that it blurs the line between life and death, equating genocide with triumph.

I am inclined to speak of this defeat, but there is no question of surrender’.

Six copies of my book arrived today.
The book insists that writing and reading, in a world where the possibility of a livable life is vanishing for many, are the last remaining acts of solidarity. We must imagine a new world when the current one becomes unlivable.

After all, will this brutal world ultimately confess its madness? Will its confession be genocide? Perhaps it will once again declare ‘never again’, insisting on moving forward without accountability. This is the essence of coloniality, which renders some lives violable, expendable, and disposable.

With the genocide now in its latest stage, the political class that actively supported & defended it is now hoisting themselves to a moral high ground from which to declare ‘never again’ once an entire population has been starved to death or crushed in concentration camps.

‘Our homes have been destroyed, and our tents have been blown away. We now sleep on blood-stained ground. We can’t walk anymore…. We are starving, and children are dying’.

The abyss is unending: unrestrained violence, starvation, destruction, & systematic eradication of life. Emaciated children tremble beneath constant fire, brutally murdered in their thousands, with families swept away. The West’s complicity & betrayal of the world are astounding.
