About Me

Location: Massachusetts, United States

My "I" is constantly changing (perhaps this is merely AD/HD): overdetermined nexus of cultural forces emanating from several continents: skeptical of all Truths and seeker of the truth: iconoclast by enculturation, brain chemistry, and, perhaps, choice: perpetually perplexed, particularly about why we exist/ as the manifestation of overdetermined forces whose existence (and nature) is not as solid (or simplistic) as we would like.

Israel's secret war: the humanitarian disaster unfolding in Palestine -- Link

Israel's secret war: the humanitarian disaster unfolding in Palestine
By Anne Penketh in Gaza City for The Independent

Does anyone care what happens to innocent Palestinians? Collective punishment is, by definition, racist (as is the absence of empathy for a person simply because the person has been socially defined/constructed as a Palestinian). It ultimately opens the door to and is certainly within the same ontological framework as genocide. International law and human rights seem increasingly hollow. We are living in the Dark Ages.
