Bringing back this piece from 2011 to show how entrenched anti-Palestinian racism is in the American press. Rubin is still writing for the Post.

Why the Washington Post won't fire Jennifer Rubin

The paper's ombudsman admits Jennifer Rubin would be fired if she promoted anti-Israeli rather than anti-Arab bile

This is explosive. We need an immediate investigation of the State Department. We also are in desperate need of a coordinated FOI(A) campaign on both sides of the ocean.

My latest on the dehumanisation of Palestinians by US politicians.

No, President Trump. Calling someone 'Palestinian' is not a slur

Donald Trump's use of 'Palestinian' as an insult against Joe Biden exposes how rife anti-Arab sentiment is in American public discourse, writes Alex Foley.

This legal opinion makes it clear that the risk of complicity in genocide for states and corporations hinges on their awareness "that genocide was about to be committed or was under way." News like the US State Department falsifying reports, then, take on additional significance.

The events of yesterday in Gaza and the pathetic response from Western leaders highlights the urgent need for a large-scale and coordinated FOI/FOIA campaign by experienced FOI investigators. Does anyone know of groups doing this work?

The crucial context for the rise in fascism throughout the West is the extent liberals have already used Palestine as an excuse to erode civil liberties. They have laid much of the groundwork in their hubris, never expecting these laws to be turned against them.

Why do our right-wing friends act like this? Beirut is a beautiful and multicultural city. Israel doesn’t want destroy it. We scrupulously avoid hitting Lebanese infrastructure and civilians. Why do we pretend to be more evil than we are? It plays into the hands of our enemies.

The driving psychological force for the median Democrat donor/supporter is the need to believe they are moral, good people. And when this belief is threatened, they typically erupt with anger and violence.

Everyone claims to hate this soulless, whitewashed design aesthetic, but I would argue it's the aesthetic we deserve. The predominant neurosis of our time is narcissism, and we all secretly want blank slates to project upon that have no character of their own to challenge us.
