[link removed]

Dr. Swee Ang reflects on the decades of medical care she has provided to Palestinians. Despite all they have endured, Palestinians still possess an unbreakable spirit, she observes: "I saw it in Shatila in 1982 when destitute, homeless orphans defiantly raised their hands to make the victory sign in the face of death, and I see it now in Gaza."

Ida Audeh reviews two new short books that outline how Israel's genocidal assault on Gaza poses an existential risk to all of humanity.

"That Israel was allowed to commit genocide in Gaza for more than a year in plain sight, that it was aided in that most heinous of crimes by major powers, provides a precedent for what is considered tolerable," she writes. "As Andreas Malm and Didier Fassin demonstrate so succinctly and powerfully, that spells disaster for any population living in a geography with resources to be exploited by transnational capitalism."
