The Grinch tries to locate a single American who doesn’t belong in The Hague’s detention facility.Photo: Getty ImagesWe hope that all The Intercept’s readers are enjoying peace and contentment with their families this holiday season. That’s because human joy is anathema to us, and it is our institutional policy to locate such emotions and destroy them.We’ve previously tried to obliterate your Christmas happiness by bringing up the children living in fear of our killer drones and how capitalism is killing us all. This year we’d like to point out that in any just universe, everyone from the U.S. to the European Union would currently be imprisoned in the international prison at The Hague in the Netherlands. We’ve all committed many crimes, but the most salient today is our complicity in the ultraviolence of the past several months in Israel and Palestine. This includes complicity in the October 7 attacks by Hamas, in the same way that white Americans who failed to upr...
