We Need An Exodus From Zionism

/

The Guardian
April 24, 2024

I’ve been thinking about Moses, and his rage when he came down from the mount to find the Israelites worshipping a golden calf.  The ecofeminist in me was always uneasy about this story: what kind of God is jealous of animals? What kind of God wants to hoard all the sacredness of the Earth for himself? But there is a less literal way of understanding this story.

SAMSON AND CASSANDRA (April 16, 2024)

/

My Mother once told me the story of an emaciated woman in the Warsaw Ghetto who would wail from her window sill that all the Jews in the ghetto would be killed. She came to be called Cassandra, after the prophetess of doom in Greek mythology. Everyone just assumed that she was mad. My Mother […]

WHEN IT’S OKAY TO NUKE A COUNTRY (April 12, 2024)

/

Historian Benny Morris supports Prime Minister Netanyahu’s resolve to attack Rafah (“Israel’s Security Depends on Rafah,” NY Times, 11 April 2024). Normally home to 280,000 Gazans, Rafah now also contains 1.2 million internal refugees swept into the city during Israel’s massive ethnic cleansing the past six months. It’s probably the most densely populated spot on […]

“THE INSIPID FLATNESS OF OUR PRESENT BOURGEOISIE IS TO BE MEASURED BY THE ALTITUDE OF ITS ‘GREAT INTELLECTS’” (Karl Marx, CAPITAL)

/

The last time billionaire Bill Ackman was heard from, he perpetrated the most brazen assault on academic freedom in our country’s history. He engineered a coup that toppled Harvard president Claudine Gay by publicly threatening to withhold megabucks in alumni contributions if the Board of Trustees did not dismiss her. What was Gay’s crime? She […]

ISRAEL’S MORAL DILEMMA (April 5, 2024)

/

This morning the New York Times reported the findings of the IDF “investigation” into the WCK killings: “grave mistake … errors in decision-making.” It’s a mystery why the Times ran this redundant story. It had already determined what happened yesterday BEFORE the “investigation”: “mistakes and misjudgments.” How did the Times know this ahead of the […]

STARVE OR LEAVE

/

Let’s cut to the chase: of course Israel deliberately targeted the WCK relief convoy. Not only do all the material facts point to this conclusion. There also aren’t any grounds to doubt it; the heavy burden of proof falls on Israel to demonstrate that it was not a premeditated strike. On October 8, 2023, Israel […]

GENUS IMBECILUS BORRELIS

/

In a recent debate moderated by Lex Fridman, a nullity seated beside Professor Benny Morris expounded on the nuances of the Genocide Convention: “I think it’s called dolus specialis, it’s the most important part of genocide, which is proving it is a highly special intent to commit genocide.” This writer innocuously and uncontroversially interjected: “That’s […]

“YOU CAN RUN BUT YOU CAN’T HIDE” (boxer Joe Louis) – The Lex Fridman Debate

/

In a recent debate moderated by Lex Fridman, I challenged Professor Benny Morris to answer my detailed book chapter on his scholarship (“History by Subtraction,” in my book Knowing Too Much). The point at issue was simple and straightforward: Morris has repudiated his original historical conclusions without demonstrating why his old evidence was wrong or […]
