Just thinking of that time in 2018 when Quincy Jones gave a couple of remarkable interviews with eye-popping details. RIP to a real one.
Here's the Vulture interview (1/2)

@disco___cat He has identified an important niche at a crucial time when many are struggling and is doing good work within it. His profile has grown and we are seeing the inevitable pushback.
For me, juvenile hyperbole like ‘immensely racist and sexist colonial project’ is forgivable.
If you’re ‘talking’ about interest, you can use either word because they’re homophones.
I’m sorry. Referring to talking when you mean writing bothers me a little.
@CPMacL2008 Strategically it does nothing to further the cause of the Palestinian people. It is an incitement to further conflict. Israel’s crimes are obvious, heinous and hardly need to be stated.
Implying (by omission) that murdering innocent people is sometimes ok - nope.
This ‘numbers game’ point is quite valid in a general sense.
However, in the present case, Hamas bears sole responsibility for the escalation.
Murdering innocent civilians is not ‘resistance’.
Israel has responded exactly as Hamas must have anticipated they would.
I find your anti-Palestinian racism appalling, if unsurprising.
The historical ratio is 40 Palestinians murdered by the illegal occupier for every 1 Israeli murdered by Palestinians.
Yet your moral indication is only for the death of the 1.
Two things that are both true:
1) The Occupation and its routine cruelty towards Palestinians is at the root of the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict
2) Hamas is an evil organization that did not have to respond by murdering civilians, and bears full moral responsibility
unprecedented failure of israel intelligence—the most important component of the country’s national security.
utter desperation of gaza palestinians, with many seeing no options for their future but the launch of a suicidal war.
such a tragic situation, with huge human suffering to come.
