"Palestine, as George Orwell pointed out in 1945, is a ‘colour issue’, and this is the way it was inevitably seen by Gandhi, who pleaded with Zionist leaders not to resort to terrorism against Arabs using Western arms".

In Our Palestine Question, Geoffrey Levin shows how American Jewish critics of Israel were dislodged from Jewish institutions in the decades following the state’s formation. ‘The question of the Arab refugees is a moral issue which rises above diplomacy,’ William Zukerman, the editor of the Jewish Newsletter, wrote in 1950. ‘The land now called Israel belongs to the Arab Refugees no less than to any Israeli. They have lived on that soil and worked on it… for twelve hundred years… The fact that they fled in panic is no excuse for depriving them of their homes.’ Under Israeli pressure, Zukerman lost his job as a New York correspondent for the London-based Jewish Chronicle. Arthur Lourie, the Israeli consul general in New York, exulted in his firing: ‘a real MITZVAH’.

"At a talk in Brooklyn [in 1985, Primo] Levi, asked for his opinion on Middle East politics, started to say that ‘Israel was a mistake in historical terms.’ An uproar ensued, and the moderator had to halt the meeting."

• #Antisemitism must be vigorously challenged as a pillar of Eurocentric white supremacy.
• #Zionism is a specific political ideology and form of ethnonationalism that drove the establishment of the state of Israel and maintains the illegal occupation of Palestine.

"The primary goal of the IHRA definition is not to fight antisemitism or to protect Jewish communities from racist attacks, predominantly carried out by white supremacists; it is a mechanism to suppress advocacy for Palestinian rights. Of the definition’s 11 examples, seven deem criticism of Israel or Zionism to be antisemitic."

“I’m so worn out by the patriotic bile being forced upon us from the Right that anything remotely resembling nationalism makes me cringe. The flag, the anthem, chants of USA, all give me a PTSD reaction that causes feelings of rage, disgust, and shame.”

"It’s worth pointing out that Vance is not just a misogynist. He’s also embracing white nationalist talking points and a white nationalist agenda. Vance’s belief that biological reproduction is the main role of women in society is part and parcel of the far-right eugenic poison in which Vance and his main funder and advocate, billionaire tech asshole Peter Thiel, regularly marinate."

"The white nationalist right wants to seize control of reproduction in order to ensure white voting power and white supremacy. Superior (white) women are supposed to get down to the business of making babies; non white people are to be deported. Supersmart white men like Thiel, Musk, Trump, and Vance can then get back to the work of unchallenged patriarchy."

Of All the #Lies #Trump Told at the #RNC, These Are Some of the Most Brazen

Trump’s view of the world is a fantasy, & his ideas for how to fix its problems are magic.

"A Europe that just celebrated on the beaches of Normandy the 80-year-old D-day beginning of its liberation from war, nationalism and fascism now again faces fascism, nationalism and war.

Please don’t be reassured by European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen’s complacent statement that 'the centre is holding'….

"There’s still a large majority of Europeans who don’t want to lose the best Europe we’ve ever had. But they need to be mobilised, galvanised, persuaded that the Union really does face existential threats….

What we need is a combination of national governments and European institutions that between them deliver the housing young people currently cannot afford, the jobs, the life chances, the security, the green transition, the support for Ukraine."

..Maurice #Barrès and Charles #Maurras were the main thinkers of ethnic #nationalism in the second half of the 19th century.

Background:

"Five states had legalized abortion prior to the Roe decision: in addition to Reagan’s California, the procedure was also available in Alaska, Hawaii, New York, and Washington state. As researchers found comparing statistics from those states with similar states where abortion was still criminalized prior to 1974..."

In any case, as...

From the article:

**To have the truly open society they claim to want, liberals must press for elite intellectual institutions—the top businesses, newspapers and universities—to embody principles of liberalism instead of succumbing to censorship and groupthink.**

Paraphrased:
Liberals need to ask the elite to stop being greedy pricks and start being more liberal.

Got it.
This is what happens when you depend on the elite to formulate solutions to problems caused by the elite.
