@PriyamvadaGopal Editor Gove described Mothin's hat as a 'Palestinian Beanie' in his editorial, literally inventing a fashion item to disguise the racism. The blood soaked axe wielded by Zack is surely an example of antisemitic blood libel (snd there's sexism elsewhere in the pic).
@mikekatz Your defence of Israel implicitly divides Jews into Good Jews and Bad Jews. I'm no expert on antisemitism, but I know that's a defining feature.
@samuelmoyn Before end of history bs he was big (I was a doc student 80s/90s). He's unsystematic and essentially unintelligible which isn't pragmatism, rather - like the work of dreams - it's a confabulation over the cracks in a project that is nonsense: western white imperialism
@RestIsPolitics 'Tony Blair rebukes Starmer ' according to the BBC at a private lunch for Jewish News. Is that helpful? Is Blair too solipsistic to reflect on his own life/decisions/history?
@AnzacAegis@SamBuntz It's made throughout the essay collection Fanged Noumena (eg Making it with Death, Meltdown). He hasn't done any actual work in almost thirty years, but it's all there, from back in the day.
On one side we have the genocide experts and all the major human rights organisations. On the other side we have the weirdo who wrote an article about how the IDF should be nominated for the Nobel. One of those instances where it's simply impossible to work out who is right.
@michaelgove Twenty-seven respected international expert bodies call it a genocide. The only possible reason you have for denying it's a genocide is to enable it. I am not sure you are better than that.
Let me tell you a story about the Palace of Westminster and British culture
In 1792, August Charles Pugin, a French Huguenot refugee, fled to the UK. While he converted to Anglicanism, his son, Augustus Welby Pugin, refused. Turning to Catholicism instead.
these are two separate articles, both written two years into the genocide. barney ronay has no ground to nitpick at anyone's supposed 'hypocrisy'. fuck him and everyone at the guardian who stands by him
@dieworkwear The picture of the bandstand is Arnold Circus in Shoreditch, London, my home. It's an area where there is absolutely no call for rugged out-doorsiness (although we all dress as though there is).
