Germany has been one of the worst Western countries for whitewashing Israel’s genocide in Palestine. Now it wants to do it with AI.
Germany Is Using AI to Erase Pro-Palestinian Speech

I wrote a piece for Jacobin about the misuse of antisemitism scholarship for authoritarian projects and the role German antisemitism scholarship plays in the dehumanisation of Palestinians and the justification of the genocide in Gaza.

I think this is correct to some extent, Democrats who share a lot of opinions with traditional Republicans on MENA are going to try and & those fleeing the GOP as it undergoes groyperification, but also I don't really think there's that much thought behind this by Clinton. She's just pro Israel.

The “big tent” analogy means jack shit because Newsom’s wing of the party would/will move heaven and earth and rather burn the party down than concede on a wealth tax. The big tent never works in favour of the left.
Gov. @gavinnewsom says he disagrees with Mayor @zohrankmamdani about the need for a wealth tax on billionaires, which he is “adamantly against” - says Dems are a “big tent party” with both views.

Es gibt einen leider viel zu großen Teil im liberalen Kommentariat und der Wissenschaft die glauben, dass a) Meinungsfreiheit da aufhört wo die Kritik bei ihnen landet und b) nur sie die wahre Stimme des Volkes hören können. Bei Nixon hieß das die "silent majority", 30 Jahre davor hieß es anders.
Siehe da, Jörg Baberowski, der Studenten aussperrt, Plakate herunterreißt und unliebsame Journalisten mit Kontaktsperre belegt, mit einem Manifest zur Meinungsfreiheit als Spitzentitel bei Beck. Stimmt der Kompass noch, @chbeckliteratur.bsky.social?

What people never got into their head was that a Two-State Solution was from the beginning a state that is a state in name only. A state which does not control it's own borders nor airspace and is entirely dependent on the magnanimity and generosity of Israel.
I've always been pro-Palestine but one of the things that soured me on "two-state solution" fetishists was hearing them talk about their vision of a Palestinian state. Basically they require it to be demilitarized and clearly subordinate to Israel, which is to say - not sovereign.

Any person who believes that Iran is in any way an existential threat to the USA or Europe for that matter shouldn't be taken seriously about anything of any topic for the rest of their lives. Also, would Sorkin like to elaborate on Israel's "success" in the region?

Die Vorstellung dass eine religiöse Minderheit im Geheimen am Hebel der Macht sitzen und die Welt kontrollieren, gab es in Deutschland schon. Nur damals waren Juden das Zentrum dieser Verschwörungstheorie, heute sind es Muslime.

No eugenics was bad because it was founded on faulty genetic reasoning about shaping the genetic character of future generations which were known from its inception. Its practitioners knew about genetic averaging and chose to pursue their programme of selective breeding which was doomed to fail
