"AIPAC and the influence of AIPAC and it's been disastrous to our decision making because politicians are ... thinking is this going to get me elected is this going to get me campaign contributions. So there's AIPAC which is the obvious offender but there's also the arms industry... the arms industry has an intense Lobby in Washington and so when you have the arms industry combined with a pro-Israeli Lobby it's a very very lethal combination"

At first i'd suggest we exclude this "Doc" from the thread and then maybe we can discuss certain issues, but not tonight anymore.

Thank you for this awarding conversation. I've learnt a lot from your profound assessments of the Syrian situation and its context from various perspectives and analytical levels. 👏

One more thing: I'd really like to subscribe to your podcast, but i'm not on spotify and i don't intend to do so. Therefore, i'd really appreciate a good old RSS feed, rather than an email notification.🤗

At Zionists' Gaza watchpoint:
"It was quiet. The sounds of those buried under rubble don’t reach the observation deck. No torn and wrecked bodies could be seen, no sunlight reflected in pools of blood, and no strips of clothes snagged on exposed bones fluttered in the strong wind. We were as close as we could be but so separate and so safe from it. It was sanitary and septic, picturesque."😱

Has anyone ever calculated the #climate-damaging #footprint of these appalling #COP gatherings?
The only output of these pointless meetings - apart from PR for the biggest #fossilfuels producing countries - seems to be a considerable amount of additional #greenhouse gas emissions.

"best campaign" in full support of #Gaza_genocide 🤢

Antony Loewenstein argues that we are on the way to a "Palestinization of the world" in which #Palestine and notably #Gaza is figuring as a laboratory and blueprint for fascist and ethno-nationalist regimes which are expansively developing all over the world.
A dystopian perspective which doesn't lack evidence of becoming a reality in the foreseeable future.😩

no wonder, as the so called reality is in large parts a real abstraction of what is happening. Karl #Marx called it #fetishization, mentioning esp. the "commodity fetish", the "capital fetish" and the "money fetish". From a wider perspective, it's possible to discern analogically a "state fetish", a "law fetish", a "democracy fetish", etc.
Maybe in the future (or is it already now) we will be talking about an AI-fetish.
