september 18 2026 smoky clouds haiku against the drowning noise of other words cccviii smoky clouds inspired by the israeli award winning documentary naza a hebrew acronym for the military term collateral damage which purports to reveal the systems behind israel s calculated mass killing of palestinian civilians in gaza where tents were a tornado twist of smoky clouds neverending story september 17 2026 fyi haaretz september 17 2026 netanyahu vows to revoke israeli citizenship over alleged idf defamation in response to naza film netanyahu said that he would also work to increase twentyfold the amount of damages people can sue for defamation against idf soldiers we will hit them both in the pocket and in citizenship because they have no place among us this collision between state narrative and systemic exposure brings me back to the words of us senator hiram johnson in 1918 the first casualty when war comes is truth for more detailed responses see special feature post selected poems for reflections on israeli gaza genocide documentary naza and fyi 972 magazine september 10 2026 naza exposing israel s killing machine in gaza written by directors yuval abraham and rachel szor over the past three years we conducted night time interviews on the rooftops of tel aviv with 24 israeli soldiers who played an active role in israel s onslaught on gaza most of them were intelligence officers working behind screens and participating remotely in the mass killing of palestinians their testimonies form the basis of naza a new documentary we directed this is a film about a system it focuses on orders policies and patterns of operation not deviations from them the conclusion that we draw from the testimonies is clear the mass killing of palestinian civilians in gaza was not a tragic byproduct of a war against hamas as it is commonly portrayed in israel but a premeditated calculated and intentional act this is why a un commission the world s leading human rights groups and palestinian israeli and international scholars have described it as a genocide added against the drowning noise of other words cccix attack drone in smoky twilight a mule drawn flatboard wagon with wounded gazans an attack drone flying past silences everything below added against the drowning noise of other words cccx yom kippur after the shofar s long blast the ark s curtain pulls closed forty miles away smoke column after column climbing without end in gaza fyi the final absolute closure of yom kippur is signaled by a single long blast of the shofar the tekiah gedolah this blast formally brings the fast to an end representing the final click of the lock only after this blast is the physical curtain of the ark pulled closed and the community transitions into the evening service and havdalah added against the drowning noise of other words cccxi wordbombs row upon row of nearly empty seats beneath harsh lights the war criminal s wordbombs echo back from walls to strike

also known as the crown of thorns is a pretty succulent plant that can bloom almost year round even indoors according to a religious legend the crown of thorns worn by jesus christ at the crucifixion was made from the stems of this plant therefore its common name it thrives in bright light requires minimal watering and is highly drought tolerant making it easy to care for added against the

makes use of aesthetics in a continuum of time that is permanent and impermanent the process more important than the subjective specificity of object bias found in most anglo western haiku like poems his poetry demand to be interpreted by the informed reader they do not tell all are not based on an aha moment and have no definitive ending more importantly they give meaning and voice to the unsaid
