The genocide in Gaza has taken on a life of its own.

When Hamas made the decision to attack young Israeli revelers on the 7th of October, no one — not even they — could have envisaged the seismic consequences it would have on western polities and the very things which successive generations have come to take for granted: freedom of speech.
