選舉掃描
距離 2014 年底大選約莫還有三個月的時間，但自今年初起，選舉新聞已經大舉佔領各類媒體。雖然年底舉辦的大選包含六都直轄市市長、其他縣市長及議員等，但媒體矚目且曝光度最高的仍是台北市與新北市首長的爭奪戰。新北市的候選人仍是依循傳統藍綠分庭抗禮，就選戰本質來說並無太大新意，而台北市長選情及候選人相較之下則讓人想要看看「究竟這些人要怎麼玩下去」。

帝國主義暴力
隨著迦薩戰火持續延燒，我們這些在台灣關心世局的人，也開始用心發掘時事與現狀的連結，以及從中可能獲得的教益。因為兩地的處境儘管不盡相同，卻具備同一個確切無疑的脈絡：台灣人和巴勒斯坦人都缺少一個在國際上受到承認的國家。

Imperialist Violence
With conflict raging in Gaza, many of us concerned with Taiwan have grasped around the back of our minds for a connection and possible lesson. For while the situation on the ground share little resemblance, both contexts share one indisputable quality: both the Taiwanese and Palestinians lack an internationally recognized state.
