Just overheard my friend Cindy saying this insight today:

My translation of “Love Oklahoma” by Oleksandr Irvanets is out in the terrific (and highly appropriately titled) journal OKIE MODERN. As I write in my introduction, Oleksandr Irvanets’s whimsical ode to Oklahoma, which the poet had never visited, was written in 1992. 1/2

“The aspiring American saviors still cannot grasp why Iran’s rulers would rather destroy the world’s economy than surrender their hard-won national sovereignty to a sadistically imperialistic United States and its Middle Eastern proxies.” —Pankaj Mishra

The gap in my resume is from when darkness took me and I strayed out of thought and time. Stars wheeled overhead, and every day was as long as the life age of the earth. But it was not the end.

🔸Haaretz journalist Gideon Levy (@gideonle):

“An army who is preoccupied in a brutal occupation for decades now cannot behave otherwise. You cannot maintain such an occupation for so many years and remain human. Doesn’t work. Didn’t work in any other occupation in the world.

What will make people realize that we are growing monsters in front of our eyes? What will make them be convinced that we crossed any possible line?

You know there are six million uprooted people now in the Middle East wandering around from here to there. part of them lost their homes forever in Gaza, in Lebanon, in Iran.

Are we really proud to be a country which creates such a reality for 6 million human beings?

Isn’t it the time once to look at the
truth and say yes, we went too far. our
megalomanic dreams, our belief that only by force and only by military force
without any restraints will solve the
problems.

I was today in the West Bank. I’m there every week. There is no exceptions anymore. The pogroms of the settlers, together with the soldiers, together. Planned together, committed together. This is not an exception. This is an army of occupation who cannot operate otherwise but to become more and more and more brutal.”

Absolute must read. You don’t just need gas chambers to commit genocide. Level the homes, poison the water, erase the hospitals—make human survival impossible.

“All they will find is sand” isn’t a metaphor, it’s a strategic plan to erase a civilisation

genuine q: what was it about the 20s to 60s in the South that brought about a golden age of formally ambitious, enduring literature — carson mccullers, william faulkner, flannery o connor, tennessee williams, harper lee, eudora welty, etc.

"...we saw how practically the entire American Jewish establishment, their silence and approbation, revealed a moral collapse, a near-universal collusion and corruption, from which the Jewish world will never recover – and will not deserve to recover." https://t.co/DZQqdiubfU

The 1975 Boldt decision changed the world -- or fixed it, to some extent -- and its power reverberates today.

Oklahoma fans in Norman/OKC have been outstanding and pleasant. Great college town. Hope Michigan fans return the favor when the Sooners come to Ann Arbor next year ... they usually do.
