The Ghosts of Gaza

The following observations are modified translations of articles published in the Italian daily il Manifesto between October 2023 and September 2024, and many were subsequently posted on the Blog of Media Theory. Here, I have included the references that were absent from the newspaper articles. These short pieces seek to engage with the ongoing massacre of the inhabitants of Gaza by the Israeli state and consider its implications in uncovering questions of colonialism, rights, democracy, historical memory and responsibility within the heartlands of the West itself. Written as newspaper articles explains some of the repetitions in the argument as I try to drive home specific points largely absent from the mainstream media, political pronouncements and public discourse.
