You’re attacking your own common sense the way your enemies attack theirs!
It’s truly dumb for radical feminists disappointed with the left’s support for gender ideology to turn their disappointment into a radical skepticism of everything the left stands for. It is dumb and lazy.
@AlexThomp Turning the tragedy of Gaza and the Democratic party complicity in Palestinian mass killing into a problem of “Jewish feeling” is the hallmark of zionist gaslighting. Fuck off
It really begs the question: where are all those liberal Jews that dominate academic faculties everywhere in the country? Why are they not protesting such new Orwellianism happening in their institutions? If polls are to be believed a huge numbers of those are either losing affiliation to Israel or believe Israel is committing war crimes! Why are they as silent as the tomb?
@ProfDBernstein@LMdiplo So Jews came to invest in the desert and improve life of Palestinians? Wait I tho they came to create a Jewish homeland? How is that improving Palestinian life since to get to the “Jewish” part of the goal, many of them had to be killed or ordered to leave?
@curaffairs All that clip tells me is that Norm will only ally himself with himself. The other party has to be an exact mirror of his position otherwise it is no good!
@JillFilipovic Yea the world should instead rely on the efforts of your liberal Zionism to end the genocide! Seriously who needs them when the unequivocal campaign to end the genocide by the likes of you is so effective!
Brilliant interview Krystal. I really appreciated the way you challenged BEN Ami and showed how liberal Zionism in the end simply collapses into Zionism proper. Here are further questions one can ask the Ben Ami’s of this world:
1- So you say you want two states? Are you willing to dismantle settlements built on the West Bank and Jerusalem and move all the Jewish residents of those settlements back to Israel? What if they resist? How much state violence are you willing to use to force them to move? What about Jerusalem? Are you willing to divide the city? Two capitals for the two states?
2- how do you imagine such a Palestinian state will survive? Is it going to have a military? Is it sovereign within its own territory? Israel has historically demanded the defanging of any military challenge of its actions. You seem to agree with demilitarizing Hizbollah and Hamas. Will you also assume this state demilitarized? How is it sovereign? Will it not be simply a better run colony of Israel?
3- How do you propose Israel becomes beholden to the two state format. It is notorious for violating every treaty it has ever entered into. Who/how do we force Israel to submit to what it agrees to?
4/ you say Arabs are equal in Israel: what about the Jewish right of return? Who are these Arabs equal to when the Jews have the right to replenish themselves as a people with the right of return and Arabs not? Why can’t they too have a “right of return” or alternatively why not abolish the Jewish right of return so Israel is the state of its current citizens like any other country? Aren’t Arab citizens then competing both materially and symbolically with an infinite number of Jewish citizens who have a title to this land more than they the indigenous people of the land?
@KimIversenShow Kim- I was just watching your live video on YouTube and then it suddenly disappeared! It’s gone! I can’t find it anywhere! What happened?
@janeclarejones I feel you Jane! Crazy land! Weird constructions that invert reality to hide the underlying racism and cruelty. It takes a lot of mental gymnastics to see the Israelis as victims but here we are… crazy land
I can’t tell whether it’s their racism (taking the form of anti antisemitism) or is it their hatred of the left (where advocacy for Palestinians sit). And their hatred of the left is old and inbuilt.
It is probably both where one reinforces the other. This hatred is so extreme it creates a Split View of the world in their minds that has no bearing on the reality of Palestinians.
