I was out with intelligent & engaged non-Jewish colleagues last night and not a single 1 of them had heard the term *liberal Zionism*. That speaks volumes about a lot of things.

I’m getting the sense that it’s important for the Oilers to declare that they’re a man’s team.

My position is that you’re smart enough to both take what’s useful from that NYT piece on Hamas and also continue to assign appropriate responsibility to Israeli policy for the ongoing crisis. I really don’t give a shit that genocide supporters had an orgasm over this today.

For those who might be interested, there is a great new piece by @mclaughlinsoc.bsky.social on Gad Saad and his portrayal of Canada. It is available for free online at the Conversation. theconversation.com/is-gad-saad-...
theconversation.com
Is Gad Saad is building a culture-war hero persona by distorting Canadian reality?
Some Canadians may agree with Gad Saad’s portrayal of Canada a leftist, woke hellscape. But many don’t, making him a highly unreliable narrator on Canada as he moves to the U.S.

A lot of criticism of the critiques of Israeli policy is entirely warranted. Also, this doesn’t obviate the urgent ethical & intellectual need to critique & denounce the role of historical Israeli policy in undermining any potential for an Israeli-Palestinian political agreement.

The Israeli state is the only regional rejectionist that’s not been widely recognized as a rejectionist. Let’s hope that is changing.

In this case, the WH correspondents dinner is a perfect representation of a system in which the people follow the journos who receive both recognition & ridicule from a corrupt & vile authoritarian leader while passively enabling & legitimizing the system and its manifold consequences.

When we’ve been raised, & our institutions have been organized, to see all Israel’s done as correct & all Palestinians have done as incorrect, & when this has been reinforced since 2000 & especially after 10/7, the response of many Jews to the Nakba exhibit is entirely expected.

Vance, Carlson, Kent, & even Trump are saying truthful things on Israel, anti-semitism, & Israel-US dynamics, & it does reflect what many think but never dare to say, but these sentiments are wielded instrumentally for 1 reason or another, & these folks will never help Palestine.

The NHL & NHLPA statements on Babs are exactly what you’d expect from authorities who’ve dealt with a guy who’s got a record of doing stuff that’s not so very good but who are not in possession of any info that would permit them to sanction. No penalty. No exoneration.

The moment the US government takes action that forces Israel to negotiate with and arrive at a just political resolution with the Palestinian national movement will be the only true moment when American policy in the Middle East changes and when America breaks with Israel.
