Who's (not) speaking about the deradicalization of Israeli society? About reforming a country that largely supports a far right government that spits on international law and touts apartheid as democracy, the racist selectivity of which underscores its intention to continue on its current course?

They may well recognize implications that there are no journalists in Gaza to reproduce western vilification, dehumanization, and delegitimization of Palestinians. It is deeply problematic, and it will certainly be part of what critical studies of our time will - and should - scrutinize.

Nedsablinga av demokratiet ser ut til å gå like raskt som økonomien til en trad wife i møte med skilsmisse.

Nå som en av -ismene blir kriminalisert, og det *ikke* er fascismen, er debatten om sosialisme, liberalisme og fascisme langt på overtid, skriver jeg i dagens spalte i Dagsavisen
Nå er vi alle terrorister
Når sosialisme blir stemplet som terrorisme av verdens mektigste stat, er det på tide å minne om Rosa Luxemburgs ord: Valget står mellom barbari og sosialisme.

American journalist Dorothy Thompson on dictatorship in the USA from 1935:

(From “The American Fascists” by Linda Gordon)
“No people ever recognize their dictator in advance. He never stands for election on the platform of dictatorship. He always represents himself as the instrument of Incorporated National Will…When our dictator turns up you can depend on it that he will be one of the boys, and that he will stand for everything traditionally American.” —Dorothy Thompson, 1935

Over two years of genocidal onslaught draped in the old propaganda wardrobe where one set of the emperor's new clothes follows another, a lot of people learned to tune into the voices of Palestinian scholars, journalists, representatives rather than gobble up criminal state leaders' "peace plan."

The answer is because there is a clear difference between those who earnestly support a two-state solution, and those who say they theoretically support it in some undefined future horizon that never arrives, as a way to avoid dealing with the apartheid reality of the present.

Charlie Kirk ble et offer for konflikten mellom to grupper på amerikansk høyreside, ikke mellom venstresiden og høyresiden, skriver høyskolelektor Temesgen Kahsay.

The last political column I was allowed to write in the @washingtonpost.com was a criticism of Obama.

His people took issue with my piece, but we were respectful.

Now he is tweeting in support of me.

This is how free political speech and respect for debate *actually works*.

Or used to work.

A complete collapse of political norms around virtue and ethics since 2016. This celebration of cruelty and violence, and the encouragement of the public to take joy in violence against others, is very unhealthy for society.

I suppose there is a technical reason why the past tense is used and not the present tense. There is nothing to suggest that #Israel has stopped or is anywhere near about to do so. #Gazagenocide

Gaza: Top independent rights probe alleges Israel committed genocide
Senior independent rights investigators appointed by the Human Rights Council alleged on Tuesday that Israel’s actions in Gaza constitute genocide, a charge flatly rejected by Tel Aviv.
