It’s amazing how liberating the sadistic torture, rape and slaughter of 1500 Jews can be. It really gets the juices going.
Now that Hamas has shown how to do it, everyone wants to get in on the fun.
I'm 42. I've never seen such a shift in opinion towards Israel & Palestine in America. The bar is low but the fact so many, especially young people, no longer buy the usual talking points, are aware of the occupation, & actually see Palestinians as humans worthy of freedom - wow!

We are really back to classic antisemitism: the war against the Jews is the war against evil altogether, and defeat of Israel will bring universal liberation.
Indeed, Palestine crystallizes nearly every contradiction within the current order...
Moreover, the question of Palestine is not merely a question of national oppression, but poses Israel’s uniqueness: a condensation of Western colonial and imperial power,

Palestinians were offered a state in 1947, in 1993, in 2000 and in 2008.
The only claim the Palestinians had to “concede” was the existence of a Jewish state alongside theirs, on *some* of the Land of Israel.
But they couldn’t, because their only cause is Israel’s destruction
Other vanquished peoples have accepted defeat and effectively conceded their claims in the face of overwhelming power. The unusual thing about the Palestinian people is that they did not resign themselves to their defeat. How you feel about this fact then determines a lot. 5/

Let’s call this “Holocaust supersessionism”: the belief that the Holocaust represents a new revelation that only incidentally involved the Jews; and that the Jews have proven themselves faithless readers of the Holocaust by believing it has special significance for them.
Jonathan Glazer’s statement about “the Holocaust being hijacked by an occupation which has led to conflict” is clearly nonsensical (and it boggles me that he wrote it in advance), but it’s a sentence that could only be written when one has inculcated the idea that Jews and their

Of course, they *need* for this war to be genocide and the Jews Nazis — otherwise, the monstrousness of Hamas would be unprovoked and unjustified, along with their harassment of Jews, and they can't have that. So they must say the lie over and over again, until they believe it.

And so the enemy, being weak, has arranged the chessboard in such a way that in order to protect our own lives we must kill an unacceptable number of non-combatants. In this way, it makes our moral scruples into a fatal tactical liability.

That “there is no military solution” is a lesson that must be impressed not on Israel, but on the Palestinians, who overwhelmingly support violence against Israel and Israelis even though it brings them unending misery.
We don’t need to deny the evidence & extent of Hamas's atrocities on 10/7—even with credible reports that some may have been killed by Israeli forces—in order to insist that there is no military solution & what’s happening in Gaza isn’t justified. Denialism doesn’t help the cause
