In their opposition to nonstate violence, western states insist there is no place for violence in politics. So they wage obliterating wars (as suspension of politics) against the intrusion of non-state violence into politics (terrorism). The result is this: Beit Hanoun, Gaza.

As Israel attempts again to cleanse the land of Palestinians, it must also transform them into barbarian monsters, wicked condemned brings. In so far as this discourse, repeated by civilized states and media, affects the wordlessness of Palestinians, its grammar is genocidal.

Bombs have liberated us from our ears,

I take it, at least in part (bc this description does many things), as wishing for a pc future (symmetry), which in turn masks power in the present. V few Palestinians in Palestine or in the camps use it. Its overuse in the West and underuse in Palestine is probably telling.
