Israel's slaughter goes on. Marking Eid, the holiest day of the holiest month in the Islamic calendar, at least 87 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza, including 18 children; over 530 have been wounded, and hundreds have been left homeless after Israeli missiles targeted 17 homes and the 13-story al-Hanadi apartment building, which also housed business, medical and media offices. "Gaza will burn," vowed right-wing, blood-soaked Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz in an explicit threat to commit war crimes, pledging to exceed the savagery of his 2014 Operation Protective Edge that killed over 2,200 Palestinians, including 550 children. Today, Gantz is the norm in an apartheid Israel no longer shy about declaring, "This is a Jewish country": A Netanyahu spokesperson posted an old video from Syria to accuse Hamas of using “human shields,” an Israeli lawmaker urged the military to “flatten the Strip,” a Justice Minister supports destroying Palestinian homes because, "Otherwise, more

Three Years For One Picture

Mar 23, 2018

In a move timed to coincide with the first anniversary of her imprisonment, Banksy has returned to New York after a five-year hiatus to paint a mural in honor of political prisoner Zehra Doğan, a Kurdish painter and journalist sentenced to almost three years for painting a watercolor of Nasyabin, a city in Turkish Kurdistan reduced to rubble by Turkish Army forces while fighting Kurdish rebels - an image, perversely, based on a photograph the Army itself had circulated. Both the photo and painting show demolished buildings above which newly, bitterly mounted Turkish flags defiantly fly. Banksy partnered with street artist Borf to create

The Regressive Double Standard on Criticism

"No idea is above scrutiny; no idea whatsoever. To criticize, to scrutinize, and to satirize my own religion is not Islamophobia." Maajid Nawaz Whether you like it or not, criticism is a part of everyday life. Whenever someone produces literature, art, music, film, TV, video games, comic books, fashion, architecture, economic theories, technology, or cuisine, you can guarantee that there will be consumers and professional critics who will test them out to gauge their quality, originality, and the message it may or may not convey. When they observe that there are notable flaws in an idea or product, they will point out these flaws

Jul 14, 2016

Hello fellow deviants and internet-goers. I would like to bring us together, to unite us as a community in discussion about an important topic. I don't mean to bring fear, that's not my intent.

Caught in Your Orbit

People are planets with God in the stars and philosophy's written in brothels and bars Dead rebels are kings while the living ones starve No one cares till you're dead and your writing is charred All I want is to travel through space and through time And pave roads with forgotten pennies and dimes But the world is deaf and I am no mime So I hide in the dark breathing nonsense and rhymes Terrified of the treatment you get when you're dead Pumped up with poison and boxed in a bed When naiads could sing swirling songs in your head Coral-reef-school-of-fish-songs in your head
