@JeremyAppel1025 Incorrect. And a take that I would call bad faith. You can believe what you want, I guess — but facts are facts. Look at the country from 1920-1947.

Zionism, by any honest reckoning with the historical record, is a movement to destroy Palestine, which by Jesse's definition makes it a racist hate movement.
Jesse Brown@JesseBrown
Miss California is lying or ignorant. Antizionism is a hate movement that harms Jews, Israelis & Palestinians. You don't need to be a Zionist (by any definition) to oppose it. You just need to have a brain. A movement to destroy a country, any country, is hateful & racist.

@legs_snail @sportsIesbian @E_CattlePerson @vip__dc @katrosenfield It’s a war. And the enemy has refused for eight decades — and other wars — to accept its defeat. Hence, chaos.
English
@MistahTroof @sportsIesbian @E_CattlePerson @vip__dc @katrosenfield well bombing them to smithereens clearly isn't working. perhaps israel could try not killing civilians or stealing houses for a decade or so and see if the terrorists calm down a bit.

People don’t really read fiction anymore and that is a problem; another problem, however, is that among the dwindling population of people who do read, there is a sizeable contingent who seem not to understand what books are for
English
@liteararytea This is a moronic post. Tell me — what has Hamas contributed to the world, while they’ve pursued a policy of genocide against Israel since 2005? Vs. Israel, which is a leader in tech and medical advances, among other things.
English
books are for normalizing the existence of a cancerous state by highlighting their cultural & intellectual “gifts” to humanity 🙄 I wonder if “what books are for” wouldn’t cause outrage if the pianist were a former member of Hamas, and if that wouldn’t have political implications
English
@readsbygabby It’s neither positive nor negative. So that’s one. And two: so what if she did? She’s an author. Authors can and should provoke thinking. You should try it sometime. It’s hard. But rewarding.
English
rf kuang speaking positively about israel ??? lets say sike please ??
English
@legs_snail @sportsIesbian @E_CattlePerson @vip__dc @katrosenfield False equivalence. And also? The Germans put Jews in ovens. The Israelis are at war with genocidal terrorists who want to wipe them off the earth, and who cannot accept that they already defeated militarily.
English
@sportsIesbian @E_CattlePerson @vip__dc @katrosenfield hypothetical: the year is 1941. you’re reading olaf stapledon’s latest book. one passage mentions “the cellist, a charming young German with a gift for Paganini in particular,” and swiftly moves along. the character is never mentioned again.
is that nazi propaganda?
English
@sportsIesbian @E_CattlePerson @vip__dc @katrosenfield The country that is pushing back against a genocide, you mean.
And your fucking purity tests — your moronic and dishonest and hateful purity tests — are the reason you have Trump as president.
English
@E_CattlePerson @vip__dc @katrosenfield yes, so we’re wondering why choose to namedrop the genocidal country with no commentary whatsoever when the pianist could have been from literally anywhere else
English
@matchaaleo How could you, RF? How could you describe the sky as blue? How could you do that? And publish between covers?
English
@franclaiir Guys! You need to know — she’s also a pedophile and eats small cats and didn’t campaign for Kamala! Flay her over a soaring flame.
English
oh yes forgot to mention this. rf kuang mentions Israel in the taipei story guys! I was taken aback and it was a largely positive mention so...yeah something you should know. it's a 2 page sequence with a Israeli pianist with religious and art themes
sylv/kaz@SACRIFlClUM
making your books sm about colonization but normalizing israel is insane to me idk im very disappointed lmfao
English
@djofairchild @SACRIFlClUM Oh my god how awful that someone would include something in a book that doesn’t gibe w/ my limited and specious world view!
English
@SACRIFlClUM is there any way you could dm me photos of those pages? this is really awful to hear and i want to see the pages before they’re inevitably edited and changed
English
@SACRIFlClUM It’s the prerogative of an author to challenge, to provoke, to get you … um … thinking. Like books used to do.
Of course, that’s not what Kuang is up to here.
Which makes this even more spectacularly stupid. And vile.
English
@XOsleepycryptid ‘Normalizing.’ You’re a moron. Both about fiction and about the world.
English
For people confused, this is about R. F. Kuang’s upcoming book Taipei Story, in which she normalizes an Israeli character in her current arc. People are already starting to comment on her Instagram about how disappointed they are with R. F. Kuang about this

@mtracey Absolutely. You are 100000 pct right. Bravo for this, Michael.
English
If anyone popping off "discourse" about Michael Jackson suspiciously omits that he was ACQUITTED after years of intense investigation and an incredibly exhaustive trial, by a jury pool selected from a relatively conservative area, you can pretty much just ignore their Discoursing

@wastelandregret @qunfuz2 Jesus. What a Nazi you are, if you think this is true.
English
@qunfuz2 She isn't listening at all; she knows deep down that Jewish life is more sacred than any other...she isn't listening. None of them are. Their refrigerators are full of expensive foods...why would they listen?
English
The far-right ethnonationalist Carlson is actually more humane, more logical and less racist here than his 'liberal' interlocutor. The culture she belongs to doesn't recognise the right to life and dignity of Arabs and Muslims.
gato fumante@KweenInYellow
Am I crazy or is the New York Times podcast lady actually trying to argue that insulting Jewish people is worse than the mass murder of children?
English
@qunfuz2 You’re misrepresenting her. I think it’s on purpose. Israel is at pains to protect Gazans. Look it up. Gazans are not at pains to protect even Gazans. They are entirely willing to sacrifice the young to serve the armed.
English
@washingtonpost You just know they’re spiritually women reading the worst shit
English
The number of men who read for pleasure has been plummeting for years. But this Maryland group, mostly in their 70s, is defying the odds.
“It’s worth taking the time to read books,” Dan Mozena said. Even if it’s in a friend’s living room. wapo.st/48wUluz

@KILLTOPARTY @washingtonpost He’s a man. What’s your problem?

@DOCTOR_RAGEBERG It’s called — sensible and smart. This is the only correct take.
English
I want to live in a world where this statement is political suicide and an outward sign of moral derangement.

What is going on in Gaza is heartbreaking and must be addressed but it is not a genocide.
English
@BreakfastQGame @PaulSkallas @nntaleb I think you’re being too hard on Christians. Though they do need to repent and make amends.
English
@MistahTroof @PaulSkallas @nntaleb See, this is why we can't tolerate them.
They hold grudges longer than anyone, and remember favors less than anyone.
They're the demon race, and all their contributions to the world are harm.
English
The tragedy is that to make Israel's actions acceptable the propaganda must change international norms: murder as a state policy, ecocide, genocide, Christophobia, killing negociators, fabricating history, Apartheid, setller colonialism, demonizing resistance, scholasticide,etc.
Martin Konečný@MartinKonecny
Israel quadruples its budget for international propaganda to $730m. That’s around the same as the entire EU Commission humanitarian aid to Gaza since Oct 2023, the largest donor of such aid (~€650m). forward.com/fast-forward/8…

@chadwickchad88 @PaulSkallas @nntaleb Ah. And there we have the proof. The rot inside the core. Goodbye, Hitler Jr.
English
@NathanJRobinson Because Israel — which you remain fanatically obsessed with — will not use it. Because Israel is a country that is allied with the U.S. Because Israel contributes meaningfully to progress and civilization.
English
love that all discussion around Iran and nukes just ignores that fact that Israel has illegal nuclear weapons and we're fine with it
