The Next Guantanamo

Thank you for airing this important issue. Habeus Corpus is what makes us different from the terrorists. If we hurt people without reason, we are terrorists too. They believe strongly in the rightness of their cause, just as we believe in ours. It is only adherence to the rule of law that sets us apart.It might sound innocuous to "detain someone." But think where your family would be if you disappeared for a month, a year, six years, indefinitely. Consider your mental state from lack of work, isolation, fear. Most of these people are in their prime productive years. What are we doing to their income, their family, their social adjustment? It is not a harmless event, even if they are humanely treated. And it certainly does not "win hearts and minds."Terrorism is a crime. A heinous crime against humanity. We need to treat it as a crime, not call it a "war". We need to clarify our goals.The economy, health care, education, all will take time and probably some compromise. Habeus Corpus is different. It is not negotiable if we are a Democracy.

🔥 Gaza and the Grammar of Death: Achille Mbembe’s Necropolitics in the Age of Engineered Survival

By Malik Mukhtar (Full-Length Version with Mbembe Quotations) There are historical moments when the ordinary vocabulary of violence collapses . When “ conflict ,” “ occupation ,” and “ security ” no longer carry the weight required to explain what is unfolding before our eyes. Gaza is one such moment — a rupture in the moral architecture of the present. It is not simply a battlefield. It is an experiment in state-administered dying , in what Achille Mbembe named necropolitic s — the transformation of political power into the authority to dictate who may live and who must die. In Necropolitics (2003), Mbembe writes: “ The ultimate expression of sovereignty resides… in the power and the capacity to dictate who may live and who must die.” — Achille Mbembe, Necropolitics For Gaza, this is not theory. This is the daily grammar of existence. My book, Calculus of Survival: Necropolitics, Siege, and the Deionization of Life in Gaza , is situated squarely within this reality —...

The Leak That Broke the Mirror: Israel’s Moral Collapse at Sde Teiman

n R It was not the torture that shocked Israel. It was the fact that someone leaked it. Welcome to Sde Teiman — the desert detention camp that became a mirror to Israel’s moral decay, and to the world’s selective blindness. The Scene of the Crime The story begins, like most horror stories do these days, with a camera. On July 5, 2024, security footage inside the Sde Teiman military base caught what it was never meant to record: a Palestinian prisoner, blindfolded, bound, and dragged across the floor by Israeli soldiers. Moments later, the soldiers raised shields to block the camera — and behind that human wall, the real Israel revealed itself. When the shields dropped , the man lay broken: seven fractured ribs, a punctured lung, and a torn rectum so severe it required surgery and a colostomy. The anatomy of cruelty was complete. The Scandal That Wasn’t You would think such a crime would set off national outrage. But in Israel’s political universe , torture is an...

🧠 “Wings of Death, Code of Control: Tata’s Sacred Duty to the Occupation”

Washington, D.C. — What a proud moment for Indian capitalism! The jewel of Indian industry — Tata — has finally earned its place in the pantheon of global enablers of apartheid. From salt to steel, and now from philanthropy to phosphorus bombs , Tata has proven that conscience is just bad for business. A new report by the U.S.-based South Asian collective Salam , titled “Architects of Occupation: The Tata Group, Indian Capital, and the India-Israel Alliance,” lays it out without the usual PR perfume: Tata is “fundamentally embedded in the architecture of occupation, surveillance, and dispossession.” That’s right — the “salt of the nation” is now the circuitry of apartheid. 🪖 The Hardware of Genocide — Now Made in India According to the report, Tata Advanced Systems Ltd (TASL) doesn’t just make airplanes — it manufactures the wings of death . The company provides parts for every new F-16 fighter jet and fuselages for all AH-64 Apache helicopters — the same machines th...
