@NimerSultany @Alonso_GD And what is most egregious, settler colonialism is not only entirely apposite to Palestine, IT IS ONGOING, fully & flagrantly contemporary, unlike the paradigm cases of Australia, Canada, US et al Dispossession, expulsion, elimination continue, occur daily.

[Professor Sinigaglia @steppescott55]

@NimerSultany @Alonso_GD The purported debunking/discrediting of the settler colonial analytic framework/paradigm is structured similarly to parallel 'anti-wokery' efforts-- polemical, uninformed critiques of established critiques (BLM, CRT, trans studies etc). Critique assassination.

[Professor Sinigaglia @steppescott55]

@HenMazzig @GalGadot Her "haters" are the decent and just in solidarity with beleaguered Palestine. The State of Israel and the ideology of Zionism are an industrial factory of hatred.

[Professor Sinigaglia @steppescott55]

@MiddleEastEye You could not make this up. The only thing shredded here is Israel's own diplomatic standing-- which it has itself been busy shredding for months (decades). Even among a long history of buffoonish, cartoonish UN presentations, this stands out.

[Professor Sinigaglia @steppescott55]

@protosemite @JewishCurrents Recuperating the history & ferocity of Bundist/anarchist/leftist Yiddish-language anti-Zionism has never been more urgent. Particularly when it contextualises & complexifies Palestinian counter-violence. Superb intervention, superb translation.

[Professor Sinigaglia @steppescott55]

@NimerSultany This is really a refusal to call a Nakba a Shoah-- either the 1948 Nakba, the ongoing 2023-24 Nakba, or the 1948-2023 'Cold Nakba'. Limiting applicability & distinguishing political from legal genocide operate to enforce Shoah-Nakba non-comparability (not equivalence).

[Professor Sinigaglia @steppescott55]

@Amarmustafa_ @amymcquire It's not just impunity, it's a conviction on the part of Zionists/supporters of the Israeli state & its policies of rectitude and virtue in the service of wrongful & vicious acts and views. See Saree Makdisi, Tolerance is a Wasteland.

[Professor Sinigaglia @steppescott55]

@IlhanMN It is indeed "insanely dangerous" & your condemnation is courageous and commendable, all the more so amidst the silence. The responses condemning your condemnation are themselves "insanely dangerous"-- vile, violent, racist, misogynist.

[Professor Sinigaglia @steppescott55]

@BreeNewsome Demand for 'safe space' on campuses sometimes hard to distinguish from insistence on White privileged space, a space insulated more from challenges to Whiteness than from antisemitic threats. Jewish/Zionist safety or White fragility?

[Professor Sinigaglia @steppescott55]

@mattduss Ilhan creates the perfect storm, she is the ideal intersectional target: she unites against her Islamophobia, antiBlackness, and misogyny. She is a lightning rod for everything vile and vicious in contemporary US discourse.

[Professor Sinigaglia @steppescott55]

@yarahawari If you substitute "state" for "regime" and "government", Sanders' remarks gain accuracy & trenchancy. Zionism and settler colonialism are not policies

[Professor Sinigaglia @steppescott55]

@HilzFuld As a Jew, I am proud.
Proud that my brothers and sisters are breaking the decades-long stranglehold of Zionism on Judaism and Jewry.
Proud they are courageously and defiantly standing up to fascism, ethno-supremacism, and genocide, even when it wears a blue mogen david.

[Professor Sinigaglia @steppescott55]

@BreeNewsome The reflexive & (generally) false accusations of AntiSemitism in mainstream & social media are themselves, constructively where not intentionally, antiBlack. AntiBlackness is everywhere in the weaponisation of AntiSemitism but no one calls it out.

[Professor Sinigaglia @steppescott55]

@NohaAboueldahab @NimerSultany @Reuters @andmills when the history of these horrors is definitively compiled & analysed, we will be left to reckon with genocide & racialised/colonial violence as biotechnologically (+ digitally, cybernetically, dromologically &c) compounded, intensified, augmented

[Professor Sinigaglia @steppescott55]

@BreeNewsome and Mizrachim had no interest whatsoever in Palestine historically, although they were the Jewish communities most geographically proximate to it

[Professor Sinigaglia @steppescott55]

@BreeNewsome and by 'recruiting', I mean creating conditions which led to the precarity of Syrian, Iraqi, Algerian, Moroccan etc Jews and then directing their (induced) migration to Israel.

[Professor Sinigaglia @steppescott55]

@BreeNewsome When it succeeded in colonising Palestine, it recruited Jews of colour (Sephardim/Mizrachim) to ensure settler numbers, culturally & legally whitening them vis-a-vis Palestinians.

[Professor Sinigaglia @steppescott55]

@BreeNewsome No getting around the Whiteness of Zionism & its belated & tactical inclusion of Jews of colour. It was an Ashkenazi project, premised on a Eurocentric concept of diaspora.

[Professor Sinigaglia @steppescott55]

@PrinceHAK33M @yall_black The colour line doesn't run between Jews and people of colour, it runs inside the Jews.

[Professor Sinigaglia @steppescott55]

@PrinceHAK33M @yall_black Most French Jews are North African and Arabic-speakers. Ashkenazi hegemony in the US & Israel has resulted in the whitening of Jews. See Lewis Gordon, Ella Shohat.
