"The brodernist measures of 'challenging' literature are a constrained series of attributes: winding sentences, explicit references to entropy and math, metanarration, lonely and existential male protagonists, brick-length tomes, cringey sex scenes, the stench of once having read Nietzsche ..." 😭

"Among the victims of the wide-ranging offensive is a two-year-old girl, Leila al-Khatib, who was killed by Israeli fire during a raid near Jenin. The latest victim was an elderly man, 73-year-old Waleed Lahlouh, who was killed ... by an Israeli sniper while going back to check on his house."
Israeli forces conducted an unprecedented escalation in the West Bank over the weekend by detonating 20 apartment buildings in the Jenin refugee camp in the northern West Bank. The move constituted the largest single demolition operation in the West Bank since 1967.

We Have a Ceasefire Deal, But This Isn't the End
The widely-reported agreement must hold. We haven't begun to understand the full scope of the horrors Israel wrought. And Palestine is still not free.
