Palestinianism is a dumping ground.
A catch-all container for every resentful ideology, every broken theory, every radical cause.
Marxists, postcolonialists, jihadists, queer activists, anarchists, environmentalists, anti-capitalists, and antisemites, they all pour their agendas into it.
It’s the perfect host, just vague enough to absorb anything, just angry enough to justify everything.
Muslims use it to legitimize jihad and martyrdom under the guise of resistance to occupation.
Marxists use it to revive class warfare under the guise of anti-Zionism.
Postcolonial theorists use it to attack the West.
Intersectional activists use it to link Palestine to trans rights and racial justice in a grotesque logic of shared victimhood.
Academics use it to inject critical theory into international politics.
Antisemites use it to camouflage their hatred as humanitarianism.
Palestinianism is where incompatible ideologies suddenly find unity.
What binds them isn’t a coherent vision of justice, but a shared enemy: Israel, the West, the Judeo-Christian world, the structure, the order.
Palestinianism has become the dumping ground where failed ideologies go to be reborn.
@CinemaTweets1 Incredible movie. Just caught it the other day, after having thought I watched it and mixing it up with something else. The tension, the score, the cinematography - just an unreal movie. You expect Blunt’s character to have some breakthrough moment and it doesn’t happen.
@diptrich@DrEliDavid It will never be Dubai because Palestinians can’t stop from getting in their own way. If they recognized Israel’s right to exist and accepted a peaceful solution, they would be generations ahead of where they are now. Instead, they’ve set themselves back another hundred years.
@yaelbt I think I lost brain cells listening to those dolts speak. To think they wasted 6 hours of time on that is dumbfounding, though they probably didn’t have anything better to do. I’m sure Israel is watching closely at what Long Beach, CA thinks!
#Russia should be recognized as a terrorist state. You can't call what they do anything other than terrorism. Killing civilians, children and women, with cruise missiles...
The corpse of a child and the leg of her mother, who died today in #Vinnytsia from a missiles attack.
@apmassaro3 let’s also remember that UKR was was one of the only countries that actively flew in to help stranded foreigners in Afghanistan. No one should question the resolve of the UKR people. #StandWithUkriane

When you think of the Edmonton Oilers... names like Gretzky, Messier, Coffey and McDavid come to mind. Joey Moss is right there with them. He is a Canadian legend and a true inspiration to all of us. My thoughts and prayers are with his family. Rest In Peace Joey. 👊🙏
