    In the study of Zionism, there are actually some really interesting parallels between Marcus Garvey and Theodore Herzl. But Herzl never had J. Edgar Hoover as a nemesis.

    Only zionists can call a mediterranean climate area a “desert” like the known deserts of italy and greece

    Why do Zionists act like Isreal was “carved out of the desert” from nothing? Palestine has been inhabited by people for thousands of years. Some of the oldest continously inhabited cites are in the Levant.

    I mean i get its there nonsense propaganda, but it’s so ignorant of just obvious things - like you know thousand year old cities

      It is part of the dehumanization of the native population. “They were all primitive and savage and now look how we’ve civilized the place.” To propagate the myth of a land without a people, just the same as the Native American or the Native Australian populations who have been conveniently ignored so you could displace and/or kill them.

        I never realized it but you’re right that it seems extremely reminiscent of the myth of the untouched wilderness of North America or Australia. It’s like “Wow! It’s so empty and ready for settling!” when there’s whole populations and societies who have lived there for thousands of years and carefully cultivated the environment. Both still have to go through a long, struggling genocide to settle the area so you think that would dispel the myth right there, but for some reason it still persists for all 3 areas, even today.

      The whole project is anchored around delusional worldbuilding, the point is to erase thousands of years of history and construct a simulacra dreamt up in the fever dreams of 19th century European orientalists

      Palestine was fertile olive groves and wheat fields since antiquity. Is Italy a desert as well?

      Its like euro settlers in the americas calling native civilizations “a vast empty wilderness”

        It is simultaneously the land of milk and honey promised to them by god and also a lifeless desert with no prior inhabitants, except them 3000 years ago they were there first, err I mean exclusively.

    The kind of racism a certain subset of white women have shown to POC men over their views on Palestine is legitimately terrifying. This is the kind of thinking that got Emmett Till lynched.

    I love this. Ta-Nehisi Coate’s going from a liberal darling to persona non grata amongst the nastiest and most deranged liberals. The tide is truly turning, lol. Most people are gonna be ride or die for him, not for Kamala or Joe. I read him when I was a liberal, he does the job of getting you almost to the finish line on a lot of policies and ideas.

    When Liberia was founded, the “Americo-Liberians” subjugated local Africans and placed them on the bottom of the social hierarchy even after “equality was formally mandated and the True Whigs’ dominance in politics lessened. It was one of several galvanizing factors of the Liberian Civil War.

    So the fact that she made that comparison is interesting…
