Sub-titled "On Social War, Israel, and the Alibi of the State" this essay by Shuli Branson argues against the notion of a "political solution" to the conflict between Israel and Palestine and instead encourages people to advocate for a "no state" perspective on the conflict.

It outlines some of the tools and solutions that can be used to make events more accessible and safe for people with various needs and vulnerabilities, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic.

This zine consists of "a list of recent direct actions in the belly of the beast, updated 11/23/23" undertaken in solidarity with Palestinians. The zine asks "What does it look like to actually disrupt the war machine at home?
