grazie.
luoghi che mostrano la trasformazione in atto, e ne mostrano senza
filtri l'oscenità.
la realtà è ben oltre i nostri rant, se così posso dire.
e quindi la domanda è "che cosa possiamo fare?" al di là dei rant in
mailing list?
come sapete questo del "cosa possiamo fare" è un chiodo fisso dei miei
messaggi.

*Watched, Tracked, and Targeted*
/Life in Gaza under Israel’s all-encompassing surveillance regime./
By Mohammed R. Mhawish, a Palestinian writer and journalist from Gaza
Dec. 3, 2025
In the days before we reached the Netzarim checkpoint in Gaza in early
April 2024, my wife and I rehearsed a stripped-down version of
ourselves. We had already lived through six months of war, but this
would be the first time we stood before Israeli soldiers. After seeing
journalists killed, hospitals bombed, and bullets ripping through
children, we believed that how we told our story could mean everything
— for our lives and our chances of getting out.
We would tell the truth. But we would keep it to the parts least
likely to invite suspicion: that we were a displaced family obeying
Israel’s orders, which often came via air-dropped flyers and
anonymous, automated phone calls, to evacuate south after our
neighborhood in Gaza City was left devastated by months of
bombardment; that Asmaa was pregnant; and that our 2-year-old son,
Rafik, was weak from malnutrition. We planned to avoid identifying
ourselves as journalists. And we would say nothing to betray that we
intended for this journey to be the start of our escape from Gaza,
that we planned to exit into Egypt through the Rafah crossing. I
practiced my answers until the words felt cold. I was prepared to
speak only as a father and husband trying to survive.
We walked through a shell-scarred stretch of road by the
Mediterranean. The stroller wheels scraped against broken concrete;
drones hummed above. My /hawiya/ — the green Israeli-authorized ID
Gazans carry — was in my pocket. After about two hours of walking, we
arrived at Netzarim. A coastal stretch where families once walked the
beach, it was now a militarized corridor of tanks, berms, and
scanners. Two tanks sat ahead of us, snipers stood above the mounds of
debris, and a line of soldiers grew clearer with every step.
At the checkpoint, soldiers herded the crowd into groups of five. I
kept my eyes on Rafik. A soldier motioned us forward toward a camera:
a dark orb behind glass on a tripod, a red light blinking beneath its
lens. While Asmaa gripped our son’s hand, soldiers watched a screen
behind the camera. Asmaa and Rafik went first. We stared into it and
held our breath, waiting for their thumbs-up — the signal soldiers had
used for people to move on. Others were pulled aside.
