It’s early for Kentucky to move on from Mark Pope BUT if they did you have to think they’d call Arkansas coach John Calipari. Ace recruiter. Knows the SEC. Has made back-to-back Sweet 16s in two seasons with the Razorbacks.

I’m willing to take the unpopular position that many of the pro-palestine activists are antisemitic, and that some of their statements that Israel is violently repressing the Palestinians are correct

In Margate. My cheeks are red. I am shaking. I popped into an exhibition that turned out to be the insane fever dream of an artist called Matthew Collins: ‘Drawings Against Genocide.’ The exhibition is described as ‘drawings… raising consciousness about hell…. Israel is the pure encapsulation of it. Zionism is this terror state’s ruling ideology.’ Shocked by the use of Nazi imagery - the room is full of the Star of David pasted around figures meant to be Israelis and the Jewish ‘lobby’ spewing blood, to say nothing of blonde yummy mummies wearing ‘globalise the intifada’ shirts, I spoke to the artist to share my reaction as a Jewish person. He was instantly aggressive. As soon as I started to say I was shocked and threatened by what I was seeing because it was Nazi imagery, the artist started yelling at me that I didn’t mean anything I was saying. Anytime I tried to speak (calmly) he said: ‘you don’t mean any of what you said, you’re just repeating ‘hasbarah talking points’ because ‘you’re defending a genocide’. On and on he yelled, in my face. I said: ‘if I was a Black person…’ but couldn’t finish the sentence because: ‘you’re not are you?’ On the Nazi ideology point he said: ‘yeah. Why do you think it’s there. Israel are the Nazis’. His breath was disgusting. The crowd began booing and closing in around me, making to shoe me out. I said: ‘fine, get the Jew out’ and he yelled more across the room at me, ‘repeatedly jeering ‘call the police, go ahead, call the police’. I said I would, and the community security trust, which features as a devil in his exhibition. This was met with even more jeering. ‘Yeah, call the CST’ was the last I heard before leaving. Someone snapped pictures of me while I was being shouted at. Short video shows the artist. The longer video, of our final almost surreally disgusting exchange, didn’t record.

@LxLxFredo @DialecticDemon @Inhumansoflate1 He blocked me, called all 3 million Cuban Americans nazis and then accused me of pearl clutching. And cynicism. I’m like the least cynical guy out there. I just don’t think we should overgeneralize/dehumanize mass swaths of individuals because of their ethnic background.

@stooksman @Inhumansoflate1 Sucks your concern for Cuban humanity was agrieved when a streamer said some words about Miami Cubans and not the starvation siege perpetrated by our racist govt

@stooksman @Inhumansoflate1 Oh damn bro what next are you gonna "center Jewish voices" about the genocide in Palestine? Do you know what the right wing expats want to happen to Cubans? Do you know how they speak of Cuban socialists? Do you know they are celebrating the blockade and starvation? Fuck off.
