. in the art of war, eyal weisman seems to lay bare the same tool but in the context of the military, supporting the hunch/observations with evidence that the machine turns with extreme precision to perpetrate exactly what you describe. https://www.frieze.com/article/art-war
there are words to describe this crime, and evidence to expose it. We just need to be brave enough to keep spreading - inspired by the perpetrators' moto: never forgive, never forget.
Your reflection masterfully frames writing as an act of resistance and an unyielding declaration of existence. For Palestinians, it is far more than a reclaiming of stolen land, memory, and identity—it is a defiance against erasure, a stand against the settler-colonial project that seeks to deny their very humanity. As Edward Said profoundly observed, controlling narratives is a cornerstone of power, and reclaiming those narratives is essential to liberation.
Gaza stands as a living testament to survival and dignity, mirroring the resilience of global anti-colonial struggles like those in Algeria and Vietnam. Writing emerges as a weapon—sharp and unwavering—dismantling dehumanizing narratives, exposing oppression, and reaffirming Palestinian perseverance. The bond between faith and resistance underscores that even the smallest acts of defiance—prayers among rubble, olive harvests under siege—are declarations of dignity and hope.
By reclaiming distorted narratives, your words weave Palestine’s struggle into the broader tapestry of global movements against systems of domination. They ensure that the story of resistance, humanity, and justice will never be silenced. To write, as you so powerfully do, is to resist, to assert existence, and to remind the world that liberation is not just a possibility—it is an inevitability.
You have devoted every fiber of your being—your hands, your heart, your voice, and your unwavering spirit—to Palestine and its just cause. I have said it before and will say it forever: without people like you, victory might seem unreachable. But with your tireless efforts, alongside others who share your dedication, we draw closer every day to the vision of a free Palestine, liberated in its entirety, from the river to the sea.

and we're here to spread it far and wide - great read. The essay made me think of two recent finds:
. epistemicide, while not in dictionaries gets close to capturing the act in words? First heard here, the native Americans know a thing or two about it: https://longnow.org/seminars/02024/feb/06/indigenous-sovereign-futures/
