Strange. It means deepening your dependence on a country that has led yours into a disastrous conflict without caring about your interests.












The alpha and the omega of genocide is collective guilt, which is also the alpha and the omega of racist libel. It is the coding of a people as inherently guilty regardless of their actions, regardless of counter-evidence, holding them responsible for the alleged actions of individuals. International lawyer Philippe Sands, in his important book East West Street, perhaps goes too far in rejecting Lemkin’s concept of genocide in favor of Lauterpacht’s concept of crimes against humanity. But he nonetheless grasps the central problem: when it comes to guilt, it is individuals who should be held accountable, not collectives. Antizionism does the opposite. It codes Israel, Israelis, and all those marked as “Zionists” as one evil collective. Its claims of genocide are not accusations against specific individuals or organizations. They are codings of this collective as inherently evil. Even if some individuals within Israeli society are guilty of incitement to genocide, the claim that this legitimates the genocide libel—and antizionism’s own genocidal ideology toward Israel—would be equivalent to claiming that genocidal violence by Tutsi elites in Burundi in 1972 against Hutus somehow justified the Hutu genocide against Tutsis in Rwanda in 1994. Antizionism itself is genocidal and morally objectionable. Israel as such cannot be evil. Israelis cannot be inherently evil as a national group. This is racism. And there is no reason to engage with “arguments” whose only content is bigotry.








"There are some countries whose leaders don't support free speech. I'm not at liberty to say which. Let's just leave it at North Korea and CBS." The Islamic Regime has cut internet access for 90 million Iranians. But you’ve got nothing to say about that, you odious fool.
