I am not even being slightly hyperbolic when I call "critiques" of Palestinian resistance straight-up fascism. You're talking about a colonized & dispersed people under daily threat of genocide. To "critique" their resistance is to say "well why don't they just roll over and die"

This Hamas strategy chilled me to the core, because it worked. They baited Israeli soldiers with speakers in alleys that play conversations in Arabic between kids. KIDS. Soldiers go to kill Palestinian kids--and Hamas ambush the soldiers.

You are not "left" of anything if the liberation of Palestine is not central to your politics. Especially if you're based in the US. America is neither "complicit" nor "silent" on the colonization of Palestine, i's an active perpetrator. Few issues are as aggressively bipartisan.

Anti-Semitism is repugnant and it genuinely scares me that Zionist propaganda tries to associate the genocidal actions of the Zionist entity with my Jewish comrades, with Jews everywhere, because undoubtedly some will believe this lie and develop anti-Semitic beliefs as a result.

The use of the words "genocide" and "fascism" to describe what is happening in Palestine is not another way of saying "it's really bad." This is the material reality that Palestinians are facing every day. A genocide is any systematic attempt to destroy a people's way of life.

Every "safety plan" I've seen that would allow public schools to reopen requires that kids behave in ways that no child has ever behaved in the history of children.

I love how every major American newspaper/mag's like "OUR JOURNALISM IS WHAT STANDS BETWEEN YOU AND THE DARKNESS anyway plz pay us $12 a month for political coverage that'll never talk to an organizer but will instead feature daily centrist clickbait & about 1 fascist op-ed/week"

Besides being complicit with colonial and fascist violence, "conversations" around which form of resistance is "legitimate" are always, always a trap. The moment you validate that framework, you step into a spiral of utter meaninglessness whose sole purpose is to distract.

Hamilton seeks to redeem the US by comparing colonists to refugees & economic migrants, reducing genocide & slavery to snazzy one liners, & reframing imperial & capitalist expansion as being "scrappy" In what universe do you think that's comparable to the laundromat movie

Everything Everywhere is the woke culture that usually the right produces—as parody… not since Hamilton has work so precious, plangent, morally superior and conceptually inferior debuted to such acclaim. conservatives say this is all pop art now; this film might prove them right

In terms of Egyptian cinema, I used to not stress this point because I wanted to be mindful of language barriers, but the Egyptian corner of Netflix gets bigger & bigger by the year so maybe it's time for some peeps to just admit they only care about "representation" by Americans

And the coverage isn't even *trying* to pretend otherwise. From the Post to the Times they're using the passive voice and calling Neely "unhinged" and "erratic" as if being publicly in distress is even on the same planet as tangibly threatening another person's life

The man who killed Jordan Neely wasn’t protecting himself. He was empowered by a cultural movement that has normalized regular citizens deputizing themselves as judges and executioners in the name of white supremacy. Infamously this also happened in another period of US history

Honestly, you can't in good faith two-side most modern conflicts between countries with standing armies, yet everyday someone describes a dispersed, stateless and colonized people as "clashing" with a nuclearly armed state with one of the most well-funded militaries on the planet

@dzancbooks @zeinsadedin But you DO condone it. You selected this book. You are attempting to make a profit off of it. You are actively involved in promoting a rabidly right-wing and extremely dangerous portrait of Arabs/Muslims.

I only applied to two PhDs this year, when I first hit send one of them was a hard top choice TM and the other was a "let's fuck around and find out" situation. I grew to like the latter more and it ended up being an acceptance me while the other wasn't. It's giving sub7anallah
