Since January, I have posted a number of pieces on the current conflict in Gaza (and its implications for civil liberties in North America and Europe) on my Substack, some of which I have subsequently revised and published in the online magazine Canadian Dimension.

The fullest statement of my position (briefly, that “while I unreservedly condemn Hamas’s actions against civilians on October 7, I can see no moral standpoint from which I could do so that would not oblige me equally to condemn Israel’s retaliatory violence—and vice versa”) can be found in the long article “Eyeless in Gaza.”

My most recent Substack/Canadian Dimension articles are:

Powerful stories: facts, fictions, and fabrications regarding Israel’s Black Sabbath, Substack, April 1, 2004, and Canadian Dimension, April 2, 2002

All the perfumes of Arabia: Israel’s human targeting software and the banality of evil, Substack, April 15, 2004, and Canadian Dimension, April 18, 2024.

My earlier Gaza articles are listed here and here.
