I can’t believe I won the @WeAreFootnote and @CounterArts Writing prize for my family memoir, Wait for Her. I am over the moon, but it’s hard to celebrate while my people are subjected to a genocide. May this book be a way to keep talking about Palestine. tinyurl.com/3tkfc545

Fady Joudah@FadyJoudah

@PENamerica invited me to their World Festival without mentioning Palestine, Gaza, or genocide; but the letter quotes S. Rushdie, listening, and international borders. Are you next on the list?

Every single person killed in Gaza was روح الروح to someone.

I look forward to watching again these short films that so deeply talk about Palestinian memories and imagination, and I can't wait to talk about this and more in a Q&A with Ali Roche. Please make sure to book your tickets for tomorrow! You don't want to miss this.

The absolute nobility of these people, in their most hurt and exposed. The world looks at them like fish in an aquarium, sadistically separated from human society by a transparent impenetrable wall, slowly being killed, and under all the horrors visited upon them day and night, they lose not an ounce of their dignity and humanity. They wanted us to look at Gaza with disgust and hate. We are filled with love and admiration
Gaza Notifications@gazanotice

In the massacre that took place in Gaza’s Beit Lahia area, Dr. Hani Badran, who lost 17 members of his family, is comforted by his colleague Dr. Hossam Abu Safiya following the Israeli attack.

All the takes are correct and yet they also miss the point. Yes, it was insane for the Democrats to think they could win by running a soulless candidate, without a shred of progressive policy vision, pursuing endorsements from neocon war-hawks everybody hates, while arming and funding a genocide, and belittling and crushing those who have enough morality to protest it.  It is enraging that the Democrats are so smug and blind to this. But these are all just symptoms.  The deeper reality is that liberalism has failed, liberalism is dead, and people urgently need to wake up to this fact and respond accordingly. It is a defunct ideology that cannot offer any meaningful solutions to our social and ecological crises and it must be abandoned. Democrats have proven over and over again that they cannot accept even *basic* steps like public healthcare, affordable housing, and a public job guarantee - things that would dramatically improve the material, social and political conditions of the working classes. And they cannot accept a public finance strategy that would steer production away from fossil fuels and toward green transition to give us a shot at a liveable future. Why? Because these things run against the objectives of capital accumulation. And for liberals capital is sacrosanct. They will do whatever it takes to ensure elite accumulation, it is their only consistent commitment.  At home, they suppress and demonize progressive and socialist tendencies. Abroad, they engage in endless wars and violence to suppress input prices in the global South and prevent any possibility of sovereign economic development. The Democrats have done all this purposefully and knowingly, for my whole life, not as some kind of "mistake" but in full consciousness that it is in the interests of capital. And because liberalism cannot address our crises, and because it crushes socialist alternatives, it inevitably paves the way for right-wing populism.  They know this pattern, and yet they risk it every time - this election being only the most recent example. They did it in 2016, when they actively crushed the Sanders campaign and sent Trump to the White House. They do it because ultimately they (and I mean the liberal ruling class here) don't really mind if fascists take power, so long as the latter too ensure the conditions for capital accumulation. They 100% prefer this to the possibility of a socialist alternative. So, progressives have to face reality. The dream of "converting" the Democratic party is dead. This is now a fact and it must be accepted. The only option is to build a mass-based movement that can reclaim the working classes and mobilize a political vehicle that can integrate disparate progressive struggles into a unified and formidable political force and achieve substantive transformation. This will take real work, actual organizing, but it must be done and that process must begin now.
