📽️ On the Makdisi Street podcast, Ta-Nehisi Coates points to Drop Site’s Jeremy Scahill and his interview with Rep. Ro Khanna to highlight how dominant political and media narratives restrict what even progressives understand about Palestine.
Coates recounts Scahill pressing Khanna on whether Palestinians have the right to attack soldiers and military bases of an occupying power. Khanna refused to grant the right, invoking King and Gandhi, even as he conceded that Israel’s US-backed assault amounts to genocide.
Coates reads Khanna’s evasions as ignorance rather than malice, arguing that he seemed unaware the issue of resistance to occupation has long been settled under international law.
“Our greatest weakness,” Coates says, “is just how little we know.”

Genocide apologists are calling my agent and publishers to fire me, to drop my books, disavow their association with me. Three articles in one week have been put out, and apparently there are more to come. If it comes to it, I wouldn't be the first to lose my livelihood because of these parasites, and I would happily join that club of honorable people who refused to be quiet and refused their "civility" speech parameters. I regret nothing in what I've said about these baby killing demons. I have never witnessed such a violent, sadistic, lowly lot as zionists and they deserve all the contempt and hatred in the world. Feel free to screen shot this one too and send it to my agent, publisher, or places I'm invited to speak. I'm living rent free in your rotted brains.
Israeli settler attacks in the occupied West Bank are organised, state-backed and aimed at forcing Palestinians off their land and blocking a future state, says Palestinian Foreign Ministry official Varsen Aghabekian tells Al Jazeera.
Israeli terror proxy says 1 Jewish live is a worth 10 million Palestinian and get over it, jealous!
Hey, American media: this seems like something worth covering in the news, I dunno.
A lot of politicians are going to be claiming to be “pro-Palestine” over the next few years to win their elections. One simple question can immediately weed out the Zionists in sheep’s clothing.
مردم بیگناهم، مردم صبورم، مردم شریفم، مردم داغدیدهام به چنین جنایتی که بر سر شما آوار شد گفتن «مداخله بشردوستانه».
به آدمهایی که زیر این خاک و خاکستر و آوار موندن گفتن بازیگر. عکسهای خیابون فردوسی یادتونه؟ شبکه اسرائیلاینترنشنال گفت صحنهسازیه؟ اینم هم فیلمش. حرامیها
Eyal Yakoby was outed by Time as an unregistered agent of Israel, paid for this content by the Israeli Foreign Ministry through Brad Parscale's Clock Tower X
No one person could produce industrial grade content like this
It's an obvious team effort scripted by Israel
This is not a horror movie.
It’s reality.
An Israeli court just froze the plan, not out of concern for the Palestinian prisoners, but because it might harm the animals.
Zios think they can continue to just make up history as they go along to suit their fairytale narrative. But history and facts matter, however inconvenient.
Jewish life in Al-Andalus under Muslim rule, especially during the Caliphate of Córdoba is well-documented as the "Golden Age" of Jewish culture in Spain (which didn't exist as a state by that name, by the way). Jews served as wazirs, scholars, poets, physicians there, NOT in Palestine as the post below claims. They did so just as Ashkenazi Jews had their distinct communities throughout Europe and throughout west Asia and North Africa. They were not, and never were, a single ethnic or "national" group (nations didn't really exist then).
When Isabella of Castile and Ferdinand of Aragon married, joining their armies to march on AlAndalus, it ended over 800 years of Muslim rule. Ironically, Jews left too, following their Muslim compatriots, because Isabela and Ferdinand's rule meant they would be forced to convert or be killed.
