Thermidor is when a revolutionary state starts to swing back towards the conditions of the pre-revolutionary system that it replaced. The subject matter of this blog deals with this phenomenon, but the topics also range from philosophy and rhetoric to entertainment and arts. In general it is a blog of my thoughts and experiences.

Gaza Blockade
So it looks like Israel is going to loosen the blockade on the Gaza strip. I guess even the Israeli government has had to admit that it is inhumane. What is surprising is how long it took them to come to this decision. The price of Israeli security seemed to outweigh the prospect of starving an entire city of its people's most basic of needs. I just hope the Gazans can now repair their sewage plant. I do not like to weigh in on who is worse the Palestinians or the Israelis, but I can say without a doubt that it is wrong to force people to live in their own sewage war or not. The health of the planet is a concern of mine, and when people are forced to watch their entire environment rendered toxic and unusable that is a crime. A crime in India and a crime in Israel.
