If dozens of Israeli hostages had been executed by Hamas, there would be around the clock coverage & condemnation of the savagery. But it’s Israel murdering Palestinian hostages, so crickets from our political & media classes.

Israel returned the bodies of 45 Palestinians to Gaza. According to medical authorities, their hands & legs were cuffed, some still had blindfolds on and signs of gunshot wounds. Their identities were not provided, just numbers from when they were held in refrigerators by Israel.

As the 1st part in a series about the failure of elite liberals to grasp how repression works, I wrote some recent reflections on a somewhat hidden underbelly of what we are seeing with ICE and other far-right attacks: emboldening predatory behavior. equalityalec.substack.com/p/something-th…


Another good time to remind people that “tear gas” is a term of copaganda that police, the military, and its manufacturers use to obscure that it is a dangerous chemical weapon internationally banned for use even in warfare.
