@asadabukhalil From what I’ve seen and read of his, he can’t seem to fully let go of the mythology, even as he knows and demonstrates that the imagined past was never there

The major fallacy of Omer Bartov’s new book, Israel: What Went Wrong?, is his framing of the ongoing Israeli genocide wars and aggression not as a direct outcome of Zionism, but rather as a distortion of both its early and later forms.

@Alonso_GD Weon, hay lo que hay, Biden en EEUU empezó el genocidio en Palestina y la gente aún insistió que se votará por el, seguramente se aplica ese mismo estándar del ‘lesser evil’ en Perú también, o no?

Hemos pasado de la izquierda clamando que el etnocacerismo no es realmente de izquierda en 2020 a la izquierda llamándote facho neoliberal si cuestionas una alianza de la izquierda con el etnocacerismo... ay Perú

@TheRealVarnVlog @centristmarxist Those tweets actually made me face palm, I hope that there are some ‘take aware’ from their episode on the matter, but the tweets are just ridiculous
English
@centristmarxist I opened my mouth to say something and all that comes out is bile. The fact they attempt to gaslight people that they are not just sub-Fox news pundits who use theory to mystify disgruntled grad students deeply offends me but the fact they make their game this obvious doesn’t.

@DastDn 1. Russia is not ready to move on Europe. It’s bogged down in Ukraine and it will take a decade to rebuild its industrial base and military
2. The US is no longer protecting Europe, just trying to extract as much as possible on its way out.
English
1. Europe is not ready to defend itself from Russia. Whether they have the will aside, they have not yet armed themselves.
2. US has not been defending Europe since WW2 just due to brotherly love. We've done so to deny an adversary hegemony over one of world's wealthiest regions

@J_Myles_TIR @Matthuber78 Finkelstein is one of my parasocial sensei’s, I don’t quarrel with facts, I know that the arpeggio for what’s my age again is a poor attempt at learning JAR by green day, but Matt’s point still stands
English
@PoisonTherat @Matthuber78 There is no Blink without Green Day. Green Day built the road that Blink coasted on. "Pop Punk" starts there. Some say other bands like Bad Religion, but Green Day is where punk iconography gets a Hot Topic make over.
English
Imo, Chibber is fundamentally interested in propagating a popular socialist 'mass politics' -- Blink 182 level popularity would be great actually!
But yeah, he will never satisfy the niche concerns of academic Marxists who want to go on & on about value-form theory or whatever.
Nate Holdren@n_hold
Jacobin posting Vivek Chibber like Spotify playing Blink 182. Sad!
English
@J_Myles_TIR @Matthuber78 I challenge you to name a band in that genre that’s more influential than blink, it’s a fact(and we don’t quarrel with those) that Green Day is bigger in terms of record sales and overall popularity, but blink has the stronger influence and cultural impact

@PoisonTherat @Matthuber78 Dammit Matt! Blink 182? We couldn't do any better than that?

@J_Myles_TIR I will be taking my cue from anti flag’s ’die for your government’, as should many westerners in particular too

How do expect people to want to die for their country if you won't acknowledge them and literally break their bones when they say mildly dissent? #LandOfTheFree #ThisIsAmerica

This is such a such an important video that the mainstream media CNN FOX News etc can never ever stream it I truly wish all the Americans had watched this video See how these sold out traitors shows 0 respect and gives 0 value to Marine Sgt. Brian McGuinness for sake of Israel

This regime, which is the most totalitarian in the entire region, actually commands complete loyalty and subservience from Lebanese journalists, economists, entertainers, academics and writers. It must be because of the presence of the tallest tower.

@TurnLeftMediaUK @HeidiBachram Ignore these people, either charlatans or demented

Hang on.
This poster makes no mention of Israel or even Jewish people. It simply says that killing children and civilians is bad?
@HeidiBachram why is this "offensive" to you?
Surely you should agree with these statements, even if you think Hamas are responsible?
Heidi Bachram@HeidiBachram
My Jewish friend told me she went into Oxfam in Brighton to complain about this offensive poster. Staff were hostile, refused to give the name of the manager and threatened to kick her out of the shop. I can see why the former boss says Oxfam has a “toxic antisemitic culture”.
English
@varnvlog The best ‘faith’ interpretation of Chomsky’s friendship w Epstein is that he thought whatever criminal issues he had, just to let the ‘justice’ system deal with it, and continue the friendship irrespective of the outcome there, but then you think of the crimes and go ‘no’
English
Another case in point. Remember this man spent two years of political capital on the corruption in the Twitter files.
davide🚩🔻@criticofpolecon
I realized this awhile ago, but I hope people see that there are certain members of the "anti-woke" etc crowd that will never see it. Trump could put ppl in camps and they would still say the left is hyperbolic...oh wait.

@History__Speaks @havivrettiggur In the case of Egypt, it is my understanding that Jews were expelled alongside many others because they were not Egyptian nationals, not because they were Jewish
English
Lacking historical evidence of ethnic cleansing in places like Morocco or Tunisia, people like @havivrettiggur point to the fact that the vast majority of Jews from these countries emigrated, arguing by insinuation that it MUST HAVE BEEN ethnic cleansing.
Okay, the same thing is true of Jews from (post-1959 Revolution) Cuba and (post-WWII) Bulgaria.* Vast majority emigrated. Are we now saying they were ethnically cleansed too?
When you have the ability to move from a poor country where you're discriminated against (Communist Cuba or Communist Bulgaria) to a rich country where you're an equal citizen (Israel, USA, etc), that is a strong incentive and most people will go. That explains this.
That doesn't mean that the countries in question don't bear responsibility for the mass migration; they do because of the climate of discrimination and bigotry that existed against the Jews. But it doesn't amount to ethnic cleansing.
And again, not denying that there were expulsions of Jews in Libya and Egypt. But I am denying the majority of Jews who left MENA countries were ethnically cleansed. Iran, Turkey, Morocco, and Tunisia together constituted the majority, and were clearly not cases of ethnic cleansing.
*Note that Bulgaria, despite its alliance with Nazi Germany, and its cooperation with the deportation and murder of Jews in Bulgarian-occupied territories in Northern Greece, Yugoslav Macedonia, and Pirot, protected Bulgarian Jews from deportation/murder during the Nazi Holocaust.

If you want some insight into how depraved people like Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell justified their actions to themselves, see this excellent piece by @bindelj in @compactmag

@buffsoldier_96 I don’t want what he’s smoking on this one….

Good luck with that!
But it reminds me of Bernie Grant, of all people, defending the monarchy as a civic institution that was warmer to ethnic minorities, a better fit for a post-imperial multicultural UK, compared to a potentially ethnocentric English republicanism.
Obadiah Mbatang@residentadviser
The only way people on the left can really sustain the multiethnic, melting pot (maybe even multicultural tbh) version of Britishness is by embracing the British Empire, monarchy and probably Xny. A stronger intellectual and historical basis than appealing to British Values.
English
@DougLain From what I’ve seen there’s a bit more than ‘who you have dinner with’, but what has annoyed me is this silly dance of ‘now I have to abandon everything Noam taught me/us’ that many are doing
English
With friends like these...
Here's how to excuse Chomsky's interactions with Epstein:
In a free country we all have the right to freely associate with whomever we want. A person's private choices, for instance, deciding who to have dinner with, should not be the basis for public shaming or ostracization, and it certainly has no bearing on the value of their intellectual contributions to society.
Nathan J Robinson@NathanJRobinson
Chomsky's interactions with Epstein were deeply shameful and impossible to excuse, but it's weirdly opportunistic to turn them into an argument that Stalin's Soviet Union was in fact defensible, just because Chomsky was critical of civil liberties violations by the USSR

@sopjap He’s not wrong though, you can’t expect the Bolivarian Revolution to undo 100 odd years of capitalist rule in 15 years

Sometimes having anarcho-communists do intel for US pedo empire has its perks - they give bad intel!

FROM THE EPSTEIN FILES Noam Chomsky assures billionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein that Venezuela under the Bolivarian Revolution "wasn't remotely like socialism."

Reminds me of WPATH and trans medicine. Once something is conceptualised as essential mrdical care, there is literally no reason it should be refused.

We seem to be stuck in a deeply unimaginative time in which the only choices are to unthinkingly preserve the post-WW2 international system or to unthinkingly destroy it

@EylonALevy you've totally lost touch with reality when you think refugee aid organizations are terrorists

Good riddance.
UNRWA is a terrorist organization.
Mouin Rabbani@MouinRabbani
Israel is demolishing the UNRWA headquarters in Jerusalem, with Ben-Gvir said to be participating in the vandalism. I anticipate a statement of concern from the EU before the end of the month.
