Gaza is also an image of the past. What's happening in Gaza isn't anything new. Or haven't you been paying attention to the barbarity of humanity?
Edit: "In Palestine, Israeli necropolitics produces subjects marked for surveillance, containment, displacement and extermination." Same old, same old..
That was also my immediate thought. My rationalization for letting it stand is that wars are an integral part of the collapse process. A graphic reminder about how real wars look like never hurts.
However, one example and one reminder is quite enough.

You're not wrong but that seems like a tenuous rationalisation to me. It's a slippery slope. Can we post anything to do with war here now? What about protests? Are any protests fair game? Complaining about splinters (you can get splinters from cutting wood for fuel)? Cobbling (you might have to replace shoe soles due to walking miles to a water source every day)? Ad nauseum..
I've already seen enough footage to easily visualize all of that. The people of Gaza are almost like an experiment in generational trauma. If there's ever peace and the climate doesn't wipe out the region, it will take centuries to heal.
