URGENT WEST BANK (Quds) — The moment occupation forces stormed the Al-Jazeera office in central Ramallah and closed it under military order

Journalist Ali Hashem reports that the occupation has ordered Al-Jazeera in Ramallah closed for 45 days.

AJ’s Dima Khatibon X:

Al-Jazeera journalists are now on the street, all their TV gear has been confiscated, they are not allowed to go get their cars from the parking [area]. It is 3:52am in Ramallah. The area is fully surrounded by “Israeli” forces. The number of soldiers involved in this operation is quite high.

You complain about the life that you chose! You’re not a victim! Not at all! Your generosity conceals something dirtier and meaner. You’re incapable of facing your ambitions, and you resent me for it. But I’m not the one who put you where you are. I have nothing to do with it! You’re not sacrificing yourself, as you say. You choose to sit on the sidelines because you’re afraid! Because your pride makes your head explode before you can even come up with a little germ of an idea! And now you wake up and you’re forty, and you need someone to blame. And you’re the one to blame! You’re petrified by your own fucking standards and your fear of failure. This is the truth!

Michel Foucault: stares directly at the camera

[smthsmellsfishy]

I’m not familiar with enough of Foucault’s theory to understand the reference and I’d like to learn, what is the connection?

So Foucault is responsible for the idea of biopolitics, which is basically the means through which various regimes wield power over the biological life of citizens, including health and the circumstances in which bodies are permitted to die.

I should really have gestured towards Giorgio Agamben, whose work on biopolitics specifically deals with cases in which the state intervenes to preserve life so that it can continue to threaten life or even reserve the right to end it at will. Specifically, Agamben was looking at (among other things) the phenomenon of hunger strikes and force feedings at Guantánamo Bay. But Agamben has kind of become a crazy person in recent years.

The relevance is that in this instance regimes of power (the WHO; the Israeli government) are collaborating to ensure that Palestinian bodies remain healthy so that they can then be killed at a time and in a space that these regimes decide upon. For polio to usurp biopower would be a loss of control; the power to exterminate Palestinian bodies must continue to reside with the Israeli state as aided and abetted by international governments and organizations. This is pure biopolitics.
