"Neutrality" is a tool of censorship

All forms of knowledge creation and meaning-making are shaped and crafted by power relations and the justification for those relations. A common way to shape knowledge and meaning is to reframe the denial of atrocity by those in power as a "debate." This tactic creates a rhetorical "Schrödinger's cat" in which the atrocity is simultaneously happening and not happening, according to who you ask. It turns the material reality of the situation into a hypothetical thought experiment that the audience is invited to debate forever, with any conclusion being cast as "biased."

For a well-known example, oil lobbyists tried to suppress the scientific consensus on climate change for decades, and a significant amount of media aided in this by shaping all reporting on climate crisis into a "controversy." Reporting construed economically motivated denial as another "point of view," and positioned their own journalism as being "neutral" and "objective" in presenting "both sides."

This "neutrality" constitutes a social reality in which, to be regarded as "neutral" one must never speak plainly about the facts of the atrocity. It is censorship through more subtle and manipulative means. It is a tool of power.

At time of writing, the opening sentence of the Wikipedia page defines the Gaza genocide aptly as "the ongoing, intentional, and systematic destruction of the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip carried out by Israel during the Gaza war."

In response, the Wikipedia co-founder Jimmy Wales locked the page and made this statement: “At present, the lede and the overall presentation state, in Wikipedia’s voice, that Israel is committing genocide, although that claim is highly contested. This is a violation of [Wikipedia Neutral Point of View] that requires immediate correction." See how the tool of neutrality works to facilitate genocide denial? He reduces evidence and global consensus to a "claim" that is "contested." He insists that anyone speaking plainly about the facts of genocide in Gaza "requires immediate correction."

What are Gazans to do with this? What does it mean when your own life is called a "violation of neutrality" and if anyone listens to you they can no longer be trusted as "unbiased"?

We must reject neutrality and support our fellow human beings who are surviving this genocide right now.

My dear friend Fadel (@fadel-danii) is one of the people enduring the Gaza genocide as we speak. His campaign was verified and shared by @90-ghost and @a-shade-of-blue, and was vetted by @gazavetters (#197 on the gazavetters spreadsheet).

Fadel's life is not an abstract hypothetical to be debated. He is a son, a brother, a student, a community member, and a friend. He is generous and thoughtful and a good listener. He struggles with chronic pain from his injuries and dizziness and fatigue from his disability.

He needs surgery after surviving the bombing of his home. He needs funds to afford his monthly medication as soon as possible.

Donations also help his family to afford the wildly fluctuating cost of food and clean water. His family endured extreme hunger for much of this year due to blockades. Donations were sustaining some recovery from malnutrition for a little while, but the previous deletion of his GoFundMe set him very far back.

He's had to restart funding from scratch, and his family has been without clean water and enough calories for days now.

Please sit with Fadel's words for a moment.

Your donations make a real, tangible difference in his life. You have the ability to share food, water, medicine, and care with him.

Please take that ability seriously.

Guys, donations are very low, and I desperately need money to buy my monthly medication as soon as possible and to have my surgery.

Unfortunately, over 1180 people have shared my post, but I haven't been able to raise enough for my monthly medication yet. I don't understand why there's so much neglect. Please support me and help me buy my medication as soon as possible, and help me have my surgery as soon as possible, please donate.

please donate

Thank you so much to everyone who checked on me after my absence from Tumblr yesterday. My health deteriorated; I fainted and was taken to the hospital. It turned out my blood count was very low, at 6.5. This is due to my delayed purchase of medication this month, malnutrition, and anemia. So please support me. I am very tired and feel dizzy all the time. Please help me so I can buy my medication and some good food to get better. Please support me. Please donate.

Please help! It means so much! Reblog and donate if you can!

Please help my friend Fadel!! I'm really worried about him.

Please help Fadel, his health is in danger. His campaign is vetted by Gazavetters, you can see more in his bio. He's been struggling with his health for a long time so please help

Please donate and share!!

Guys, I'm very sick. I have a severe cold, a high fever, and I'm nauseous all the time. Please think about me, look at my situation. I don't deserve this.

A common way to shape knowledge and meaning is to reframe the denial of atrocity by those in power as a "debate." This tactic creates a rhetorical "Schrödinger's cat" in which the atrocity is simultaneously happening and not happening, according to who you ask. It turns the material reality of the situation into a hypothetical thought experiment that the audience is invited to debate forever, with any conclusion being cast as "biased."

For a well-known example, oil lobbyists tried to suppress the scientific consensus on climate change for decades, and a significant amount of media aided in this by shaping all reporting on climate crisis into a "controversy." Reporting construed economically motivated denial as another "point of view," and positioned their own journalism as being "neutral" and "objective" in presenting "both sides."

This "neutrality" constitutes a social reality in which, to be regarded as "neutral" one must never speak plainly about the facts of the atrocity. It is censorship through more subtle and manipulative means. It is a tool of power.

At time of writing, the opening sentence of the Wikipedia page defines the Gaza genocide aptly as "the ongoing, intentional, and systematic destruction of the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip carried out by Israel during the Gaza war."

In response, the Wikipedia co-founder Jimmy Wales locked the page and made this statement: “At present, the lede and the overall presentation state, in Wikipedia’s voice, that Israel is committing genocide, although that claim is highly contested. This is a violation of [Wikipedia Neutral Point of View] that requires immediate correction." See how the tool of neutrality works to facilitate genocide denial? He reduces evidence and global consensus to a "claim" that is "contested." He insists that anyone speaking plainly about the facts of genocide in Gaza "requires immediate correction."

What are Gazans to do with this? What does it mean when your own life is called a "violation of neutrality" and if anyone listens to you they can no longer be trusted as "unbiased"?

We must reject neutrality and support our fellow human beings who are surviving this genocide right now.

My dear friend Fadel (@fadel-danii) is one of the people enduring the Gaza genocide as we speak. His campaign was verified and shared by @90-ghost and @a-shade-of-blue, and was vetted by @gazavetters (#197 on the gazavetters spreadsheet).

Fadel's life is not an abstract hypothetical to be debated. He is a son, a brother, a student, a community member, and a friend. He is generous and thoughtful and a good listener. He struggles with chronic pain from his injuries and dizziness and fatigue from his disability.

He needs surgery after surviving the bombing of his home. He needs funds to afford his monthly medication as soon as possible.

Donations also help his family to afford the wildly fluctuating cost of food and clean water. His family endured extreme hunger for much of this year due to blockades. Donations were sustaining some recovery from malnutrition for a little while, but the previous deletion of his GoFundMe set him very far back.

He's had to restart funding from scratch, and his family has been without clean water and enough calories for days now.

Please sit with Fadel's words for a moment.

Your donations make a real, tangible difference in his life. You have the ability to share food, water, medicine, and care with him.

Please take that ability seriously.

Guys, donations are very low, and I desperately need money to buy my monthly medication as soon as possible and to have my surgery.

Unfortunately, over 1180 people have shared my post, but I haven't been able to raise enough for my monthly medication yet. I don't understand why there's so much neglect. Please support me and help me buy my medication as soon as possible, and help me have my surgery as soon as possible, please donate.

please donate

Thank you so much to everyone who checked on me after my absence from Tumblr yesterday. My health deteriorated; I fainted and was taken to the hospital. It turned out my blood count was very low, at 6.5. This is due to my delayed purchase of medication this month, malnutrition, and anemia. So please support me. I am very tired and feel dizzy all the time. Please help me so I can buy my medication and some good food to get better. Please support me. Please donate.

Please help! It means so much! Reblog and donate if you can!

Please help my friend Fadel!! I'm really worried about him.

Please help Fadel, his health is in danger. His campaign is vetted by Gazavetters, you can see more in his bio. He's been struggling with his health for a long time so please help

Please donate and share!!

Guys, I'm very sick. I have a severe cold, a high fever, and I'm nauseous all the time. Please think about me, look at my situation. I don't deserve this.

I am very tired and feel dizzy all the time. Please help me so I can buy my medication and some good food to get better. Please support me. Please donate.

Please help! It means so much! Reblog and donate if you can!

Please help my friend Fadel!! I'm really worried about him.

Please help Fadel, his health is in danger. His campaign is vetted by Gazavetters, you can see more in his bio. He's been struggling with his health for a long time so please help

Guys, I'm very sick. I have a severe cold, a high fever, and I'm nauseous all the time. Please think about me, look at my situation. I don't deserve this.

"Neutrality" is a tool of censorship

All forms of knowledge creation and meaning-making are shaped and crafted by power relations and the justification for those relations. A common way to shape knowledge and meaning is to reframe the denial of atrocity by those in power as a "debate." This tactic creates a rhetorical "Schrödinger's cat" in which the atrocity is simultaneously happening and not happening, according to who you ask. It turns the material reality of the situation into a hypothetical thought experiment that the audience is invited to debate forever, with any conclusion being cast as "biased."

For a well-known example, oil lobbyists tried to suppress the scientific consensus on climate change for decades, and a significant amount of media aided in this by shaping all reporting on climate crisis into a "controversy." Reporting construed economically motivated denial as another "point of view," and positioned their own journalism as being "neutral" and "objective" in presenting "both sides."

This "neutrality" constitutes a social reality in which, to be regarded as "neutral" one must never speak plainly about the facts of the atrocity. It is censorship through more subtle and manipulative means. It is a tool of power.

At time of writing, the opening sentence of the Wikipedia page defines the Gaza genocide aptly as "the ongoing, intentional, and systematic destruction of the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip carried out by Israel during the Gaza war."

In response, the Wikipedia co-founder Jimmy Wales locked the page and made this statement: “At present, the lede and the overall presentation state, in Wikipedia’s voice, that Israel is committing genocide, although that claim is highly contested. This is a violation of [Wikipedia Neutral Point of View] that requires immediate correction." See how the tool of neutrality works to facilitate genocide denial? He reduces evidence and global consensus to a "claim" that is "contested." He insists that anyone speaking plainly about the facts of genocide in Gaza "requires immediate correction."

What are Gazans to do with this? What does it mean when your own life is called a "violation of neutrality" and if anyone listens to you they can no longer be trusted as "unbiased"?

We must reject neutrality and support our fellow human beings who are surviving this genocide right now.

My dear friend Fadel (@fadel-danii) is one of the people enduring the Gaza genocide as we speak. His campaign was verified and shared by @90-ghost and @a-shade-of-blue, and was vetted by @gazavetters (#197 on the gazavetters spreadsheet).

Fadel's life is not an abstract hypothetical to be debated. He is a son, a brother, a student, a community member, and a friend. He is generous and thoughtful and a good listener. He struggles with chronic pain from his injuries and dizziness and fatigue from his disability.

He needs surgery after surviving the bombing of his home. He needs funds to afford his monthly medication as soon as possible.

Donations also help his family to afford the wildly fluctuating cost of food and clean water. His family endured extreme hunger for much of this year due to blockades. Donations were sustaining some recovery from malnutrition for a little while, but the previous deletion of his GoFundMe set him very far back.

He's had to restart funding from scratch, and his family has been without clean water and enough calories for days now.

Please sit with Fadel's words for a moment.

Your donations make a real, tangible difference in his life. You have the ability to share food, water, medicine, and care with him.

Please take that ability seriously.

Guys, donations are very low, and I desperately need money to buy my monthly medication as soon as possible and to have my surgery.

Unfortunately, over 1180 people have shared my post, but I haven't been able to raise enough for my monthly medication yet. I don't understand why there's so much neglect. Please support me and help me buy my medication as soon as possible, and help me have my surgery as soon as possible, please donate.
