Vampirler, Halep, Günahkarlar... Karl Marx’ın o meşhur sözü hem Mississippi’deki ırkçılığı hem de Halep’teki kırım pratiğini tek bir cümlede özetler: "Sermaye ölü emektir; vampir gibi, ancak canlı emeğin kanını emerek yaşar, ne kadar...

Mississippi’den Şêxmeqsûd’a:"Sömürü düzeni, asimilasyon ve savaş ile itaat altına alma istenci evrensel bir vampirdir.Nerede kendi kimliğiyle var olmak isteyen bir halk,kendi şarkısını söylemek isteyen bir topluluk varsa,orada onları yutmak isteyen bir karanlık da belirir"

Hem "80’lerde Lubunya Olmak" hem de "90’larda Lubunya Olmak" kitapları mutlaka okunması gereken kıymetli çalışmalar. Kendi kitabımı yazarken ikisinden de çok faydalandım.

1915, LGBTİ+'lar ve arşivler Ermeni Soykırımı sürecinde queerlerin tarihsel iz bırakmaması, yalnızca arşivsel sessizlikten değil, aynı zamanda bu bireylerin kamusal ve kurumsal düzeyde tanınmamasından da kaynaklanmaktadır.

Çok önemli yazı:

"Ermeni Soykırımı ile queer tarihyazımını buluşturacak yeni bir araştırma hattı, yalnızca eksik sayfalara dipnot eklemekle kalmamalı; beden, arşiv ve hafıza arasındaki gerilim hattını disiplinler-ötesi yöntemlerle yeniden kurgulamalıdır."

Israel “disappeared” 200,000 Palestinian children!

Gaza Strip was approximately 2.227 million. The Garb report includes maps displaying IDF estimates for the populations remaining in what are considered the three primary enclaves. The numbers are as follows: Gaza City: 1 million Mawasi: 0.5 million Central: 0.35 million The total of these official estimates is 1.85 million people. Simple arithmetic reveals a horrifying gap: 2.227 million minus 1.85 million leaves 377,000 people unaccounted for.

A Harvard study of IDF data finds that there are 377,000 people unaccounted for in Gaza.

That estimate is six times the number of people normally cited as killed.

Genocide.

This message is for immigrants — everyone from naturalized citizens to the “undocumented”— you may decide to do some things differently and that’s ok, smart even. Be gentle to yourself & remember that fear is the authoritarian’s greatest weapon.
