COMMENTARY: By Viet Thanh NguyenIs this the IDF in Gaza or the West Bank, or the US military in Afghanistan or Iraq, or ICE in Minneapolis? But the fact that it’s hard to tell whether it’s the IDF or the US Army or ICE is the whole story. Both the United States and Israel are imperialist and settler colonial projects which support each other. The United States spends trillions to be a hegemonic power and tests its weapons in places like Iraq and Afghanistan. The tactics of occupation and the blurring of lines between the military and the police in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Palestine are all reflected in the appearance, weapons, and tactics of ICE.
