From the article: "These word games, not calling a genocide a genocide, not calling a disinvitation a disinvitation, are prevalent nowadays – media are mischaracterising murders as “deaths” and forced starvation as “famine” – and they all belong to the same genre of lying, of the libidinal pleasure of falsifying the narrative, which is an exercise of power which is what refusing reality also entails."

Such a good piece with so many strong takeaways. I'm going to be chewing on the relationship between granting/rescinding speaking invites to staunch anti-Zionists and the nature of projection for a while.
