Since Hamas launched its assault on October 7th, 2023, the group has become synonymous with evil in large parts of the Western media. Condemnation has come at the expense of critical engagement with the group’s actions, objectives, and history, leaving a vacuum that has been filled with racist assumptions and conspiracy theories.
Tareq Baconi is a Palestinian scholar whose doctoral thesis on Hamas was published in 2018 as a book, ‘Hamas Contained’. The book drew on interviews with the organisation’s leaders and their archives. Tareq’s goal when writing it was to ‘get out of the way’ and let the group speak for itself. Tareq’s newest book, ‘A Fire in Every Direction,’ is a memoir about growing up as a queer Palestinian man in Amman. The title is a reference to Tareq’s activist mother, who fought for Palestinian liberation from exi...

- Justice secretary David Lammy claimed ignorance about the Palestine Action hunger strike in UK prisons when confronted by activists and an inmate’s family member on Friday evening.
“I don’t know anything about this,” he said when Shahmina Alam, the sister of one of the hunger strikers, showed him a printout of a letter he had been sent urging him to intervene.
Alam’s brother Kamran Ahmed – one of seven people refusing food – was hospitalised on 25 November after joining the strike on 10 November. She has said she fears for his life.
The hunger strikers are calling for immediate bail, the closure of an Israeli weapons firm in the UK, and the end of the ban on Palestine Action.
Lammy’s claim that he was unaware of the strike will be unconvincing to many, especially as it comes after Labour backbencher John McDonnell tabled an Early Day Motion urging the justice secretary to ensure the inmates’ “human rights are uphel...

- Did you know that the standard of Google searches has actually gotten worse over recent years? Once you think about it, it makes sense. Highly effective search means fewer searches overall. And fewer searches mean less ad revenue. The financial basis of Alphabet, which is Google’s parent company, is, of course, digital advertising. Which means that undermining the quality of the company’s cornerstone product actually makes money. That’s how crazy the modern internet has become. There are, as the saying goes, many such cases.
Cory Doctorow, this week’s Downstream guest, has a word for this phenomenon: ‘Ensh*tification’. He’s written a book about it, too. In front of a live audience at EartH Hackney, Aaron Bastani sat down with him to discuss it, and the implications of an internet that just gets worse.
