This news section represents content primarily generated from 8 December 2023 onwards (some posts were created before that date). <\/strong> Month One is here.<\/a> Month Two is here<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s depressing that we’ve got to the point where this is the third (monthly) collection of content related to the Israel-Hamas situation and its repercussions. I will continue to update this page. Many of these posts feature on my X page (@garybunt<\/a>), and are usually posted there first, along with related materials (there’s often a time lag between posting on X and posting here!). The intention here is to keep a record of these posts (X posts disappear from time to time). This relates to my interest in digital archiving<\/a> as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are thousands of potential posts, so what follows is only a snapshot of activities. Warning: there are images of violence and injuries in some posts. Sequencing is date-related. The pages (from various months) link back to the earliest days of this crisis. Scrolling and loading the page can take some time (depending on net access\/bandwidth). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As with all other posts here and elsewhere, reposting and retweeting is for recording, information and research purposes – and does not necessarily imply endorsement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's a specific brand of racism called Orientalism, a term coined by Edward Said who showed how since the 1700s Western journalists, fiction writers & scholars painted people of the East as stagnant, inferior & degenerate in order to justify their crimes against them@JuliaHB1<\/a> https:\/\/t.co\/yQSQu1IfIm<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/GYvAtRmBOM<\/a><\/p>— Maria (@real1maria) January 5, 2024<\/a><\/blockquote>
