Reminder that Black people cannot be racist. Muslims cannot be antisemitic.
Both are marginalised groups that are capable of bias and microaggression, but they do not wield the tools to enforce systemic and structural oppression.
I think a large part of the reason Black liberals hate the Palestine movement is because it exposes how far right they've shifted, and now white activists, artists, and politicians are to the left of them, stepping into radical roles Black people were once known for.
So I got 4/6 predictions correct.
Of the #BookerPrize 2026 Shortlist, I have read 4 of them. Currently reading "The Disappearers" and will read "Black Bag" afterwards.
3 solid choices. But I don't understand why "The End of Everything" made it.

The first step in generating consent to war and genocide is to dehumanise a population. Israelis did it with Palestinians, Americans did it with Afghans and Iraqis and now they are trying to portray Yemenis as no good druggies so no one feels bad when they massacre them
This says that a handful of Palestinians favored Harris over Trump, not a demand to vote for her. Palestinians aren't stupid. This fake ass survey was conducted while BIDEN was facilitating their extermination. Harris gave every indication that she would follow in his footsteps.
The reason everyone stopped caring about October 7 is because Israel just spent three years showing the world all the murderousness, sadism and racism which caused October 7 to happen.
- reads from teleprompter
- immediately starts with October 7th
- still won’t call it a genocide
- says he doesn’t know enough about what’s happening
- makes no apology to Macklemore or addresses dropping him from the tour
- doesn’t mention where his donation will be going to
- doesn’t encourage anyone to donate
- won’t say Israel is the reason Gaza is suffering
- won’t say free Palestine
- only cries when he sees people showed up to the concert because that’s what he cares more about.
Fuck him.
"Why do the Palestinians support violent resistance?"
Well, because every time they try using the international systems, it goes like this. Those systems are built to prevent their liberation.
What’s more likely? That you, a Jew who knows nothing about genocide, is telling the truth? Or that, I dunno, Jewish genocide scholars like Raz Segal and Omar Bartov and Human Rights Watch’s Aryeh Neier, who fled the Holocaust, which you did not, are? Real head scratcher.
