My new book The Afterlife Is Letting Go — on the memory/forgetting of Japanese American incarceration — is alive @CityLightsBooks: Love to everyone who helped make it, esp. the 200 survivors and descendants who speak, in their own words, throughout it.

"The focus is depopulation of refugee camps in what people describe as an attempt to erase refugeehood and the right of return."
@MariamBarghouti

Thousands of Palestinian families are displaced across Jenin, Tulkarem, Qalqilya & Tubas. (This is the entire north of the West Bank) Jenin refugee camp is near destroyed while Tulkarem refugee camp has been emptied and residential homes are turned into military bases by the Israeli army. A partial siege is also put on Tulkarem city and the district of Jenin. People have no where to go, it’s winter, and Israel is only escalating to takeover other areas of the West Bank. The focus is depopulation of refugee camps in what people describe as an attempt to erase refugeehood and the right of return. Several airstrikes are being hit across different towns while new Israeli military vehicles & quadcopters are being deployed in addition to drones, Apache helicopters, D-9 & D-10 bulldozers & armored personnel carriers.
