Everyone is quiet about the Uyghurs because all governments are learning from the perfect police state established to oppress them in order to follow the model when desired.
we ought to bring into presence what is forced into absence by symbolising it (and, for that matter, all absences), thereby imbuing it with meaning and not taking it for-granted and making it final.
Resist forgetfulness - that is the imperative!
Khair, Eid Mubarak!
The absence - of the one on whose behalf this sacrificial act was undertaken - stands itself as a testimony to the very spirit of and as an embodiment of the idea of sacrifice. By our creative defiance, +

We are at a point in Gaza where our genocide goes unnoticed as a routine event, and the daily massacres fail to make any news headlines. The world has simply normalized and tolerated our annihilation.
As he was departing, Sheikh Sahib e.r performed that duty which perhaps no one can fulfill in their entire lifetime — that is, distinguishing between right and wrong (truth and falsehood).

This (https://t.co/vsbyqxllFG) is, by any measure, an extraordinary article: Prince Turki Al-Faisal is a son of King Faisal and ran Saudi intelligence (the GID) for over two decades.
He is writing that the plan of "the US-Israeli war on Iran" was "to ignite war between us [Saudi Arabia] and Iran," so that Israel could "impose its will on the region and remained the only actor in our surroundings."
This further confirms that, contrary to what many have asserted, the notion that the Saudis were quietly backing the war on Iran was a myth (alongside the recent fact the Saudis denied the U.S. access to its bases and airspace: https://t.co/Q5xiUT7rCA).
From the horse's mouth they're literally saying it was as much a war on them as it was on Iran!
Pretty crazy when you think about it: this is Saudi Arabia saying that their real enemy in this war was the U.S. and Israel. Hard to overstate how significant a rupture this represents.
Now of course they could be saying so because, seeing how the war turned out, they're trying to retroactively position themselves on the winning side (at least strategically, by saying they didn't take the bait), or trying to justify domestically why they absorbed hits from Iran without retaliating.
And, of course, it's not like they're presenting Iran as some sort of ally here: Prince Turki explicitly calls them a "neighbor" that caused "pains."
But still, the end result remains: the Saudi establishment is now committing, on the record and in plain language, to a framing in which, while Iran is a "painful neighbor", the U.S. and Israel represent the deeper strategic threat, having tried to engineer their destruction.
If you had any lingering doubt that this war accelerated the collapse of U.S. influence in the region, this should settle it.
