The rules of the institutions that define our lives bend like reeds when it comes to Israel – so much that the whole global order is on the verge of collapse

Israel’s war in Gaza is chipping away at so much of what we – in the United States but also internationally – had agreed upon as acceptable, from the rules governing our freedom of speech to the very laws of armed conflict. It seems no exaggeration to say that the foundation of the international order of the last 77 years is threatened by this change in the obligations governing our legal and political responsibilities to each other.

      he didnt win

      Feels like he got to sieze the definition, do all his atrocities.

      antisemitism is still a big problem

      To you, maybe. To zionists, that’s a feature!

      jews are still not safe anywhere

      Nobody is, dear. Safety does not grow in walled gardens, and we firebomb the commons pretty regularly.

      which version was not about explicitly being a fucking monster

      I forget their main advocates or if they were calked specific things, most of what i know about this was chatting with an old historian and an article i read a billion years ago, but there really were different ideas of it as recently as the thirties, like joining already extant communities somewhere. They were, like any 19th century european idea, never completely unproblematic, but some of them tried and at least read as genuinely well intentioned, and there was a lot of schismy bitterness as the meaning of thr word crystalized around hertzel’s thing. Now of course it’s one of tge most vile words in English, but he did not invent it. Mightve been the one who imported it to english.
