So much San Franciscan culture is computer nerds refusing to learn about anything before 1990 and tediously relitigating entire intellectual histories except in their annoying reddit dialect and cadence.

They call this “working from first principles”

Genuinely kind of insulting that America took the term “czar” (climate czar, immigration czar, etc.) and then used it to describe an appointed official who advises the executive…which is the literal definition of a boyar.

These remarks comprise the most pro-Jewish analysis you'll find anywhere today, including from Jewish organizational leadership—so of course a serial liar at the Atlantic has to call them Hitlerian.

Just a note that, by this point, the most conservative estimate for people killed in the Gaza genocide (around 70.3k) is higher than the largest estimates for the Rohingya genocide (around 43k), Yazidi genocide (5k), and the Bosnian genocide (60k). It’s at about the same level as the East Timor genocide (85.3k) and Italy’s genocide of Libyans (83k). If we go by the most maximal number given for deaths, 335.5k (as stated in an article by Devi Sridhar in The Lancet), the Gaza genocide outnumbers the deaths in Stalin’s Great Purge (about 248k), the killing of Assyrians by the Ottomans (200k), the Herero and Nama genocide (110k), Isaaq genocide (200k), Saddam’s campaign against the Kurds (182k), Maya genocide (166k), Tamil genocide in Sri Lanka (253.8k), and killing of Serbs in WWII (around 248k). At that point, you’re in the territory of the Rwandan genocide, Bangladesh genocide, Darfur genocide, and the Armenian genocide

NYT ran the fraudulent “Screams Without Words” Hamas Oct. 7 rape story as front-page News. Meanwhile, an article with actual evidence of unspeakable Israeli rape and sexual violence against Palestinians is relegated to the “Opinion” section:

Israel just approved another 28 million shekel investment toward transforming the Palestinian village of Sebastia into a biblical Disneyland accessible to Jews only. The ministers cannot help themselves but admit that it’s all about strengthening the Jewish hold on the land.

the most interesting thing about this story is not the survey itself—which is a year old and has since been retracted over huge problems with the sample—but that media outlets keep trying to push stories of a massive religious revival among the young in absence of evidence

[Ben Lorber @BenLorber8]

If they thought Zionism served British imperial interests, they expressed concern for Jews. If they thought it didn’t, they expressed concern for Palestinians.

The Western imperial core has a long, long history of playing selective concern for these groups off each other.
