Yes - work related. No surprise there.
Unlike previous ones, this is a culmination of a lot of things that have been building over several months, perhaps years.
I'm not looking forward to it. I'm hopeful to survive it by the beginning of next week.
It has not been pleasant. It certainly has not been fun.
We'll see hot it goes.
The dramatic type perpetrated on the part of Palestine that's Gaza, or the more methodical one in the part of the West Bank?

What is being constructed, then, is not a temporary crisis but a durable condition. The banking blockage in the West Bank is not designed to be resolved, but managed. Settler violence is not an aberration to be corrected, but calibrated. Legal annexation is not a deviation from international norms, but part of it is the new normal.
The question is not whether these processes will intensify—they already are intensifying—but whether those subjected to them will recognize the pattern in time to interrupt it, whether global attention can be sustained in the absence of spectacular violence, whether solidarity can attach itself to the slow grind of compression as fiercely as it once responded to the sudden shock of massacre.
This is about as bad all Israel and Epstein.

Even more fucked up, as how long this has been going on for.
It does seem to me quite odd in one aspect. Given the rather obvious supremacy-based belief structure Zionism is built on, I find it weird that they'd extract vital organs and other parts of the bodies of the people they hate so much; and are trying to eradicate.
It's a reminder that the Western/Crapitalist governments are full of shit. They represent the interests of the rich and powerful, and that is all.

Recently in Davos, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney did something unusual. He admitted (almost casually) that the so-called rules-based international order has never quite been what it claimed to be. That the rules were unevenly applied. That the strongest routinely exempted themselves. That integration, once sold as mutual benefit, has increasingly become a tool of coercion.
For a brief second, one could almost feel relief. Not because the truth was new – but because it was finally spoken aloud. We have lived under this system for generations. Born into it. Disciplined by it. Told it was neutral, benevolent, inevitable. We were instructed to respect “rules” written elsewhere, interpreted elsewhere, enforced elsewhere – usually against us. The outcome was never order, but obedience; never justice, but management.
And yet, the system endured – not because it was true, but because everyone agreed to behave as if it were. This is the real source of its power.
And also its fatal weakness.
