Abstract
This article situates the recent killing of children in Gaze by Israeli forces with images of racial violence and neglect that extend from the murder of Emmett Till to the Bush government's failure to care for the victims of Hurricane Katrina. The article argues that all three events are held together by racialized logic of disappearance and disposability implemented under the logic of the modern racial state. It poses the question of why the images of suffering against innocent children in Gaza have not provoked the same public outcry as did the representations that followed the Till and Katrina events.
