The Gazan slaughterhouse signifies more than mass murder of Palestinians. It's where delusions of western civilisational superiority have finally died. Witness Adorno's dialectic of Enlightenment - mechanised genocide ushering in a new age of barbarism, all in the name of "civilisation" & "freedom".
