We are living a 'long war' in which urban destruction is the dominant strategy. The 'long war' against terrorism and fundamentalist Islamism is fought as an urban war. If we take the equality of all human beings as our premise, then the attacks in Paris, Brussels and Nice are no more terrorising than is the systemic destruction of Palestine, Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria, and Yemen. But we do not have 'unity' marches for the terrorising destruction of urban life in these other geographies. [...]
