Adam Shatz intellectual profile goes really well with Nathaniel George's paper on Charles Malek. These are different figures, but there is a clear genealogy between the two and how they fit in two different eras of American politics. academic.oup.com/ahr/article/...

Will the Lebanese government insist that the ceasefire applies to Lebanon, as has been clearly stated by the Prime Minister of Pakistan & the texts thus far revealed, or will they continue to acquiesce to Israeli aggression & the forced displacement of 1.5 million citizens?

Susann Kassem's account of life for displaced southern Lebanese during the one-sided ceasefire in @merip.bsky.social is a sensitive record of the interregnum between two Israeli invasions. The state & much of society sacrificed a whole community to Israeli fire & de facto occupation. Link ⤵️

Zionism is finally gaining the reputation it deserves. Time to cut all relations with genocidal state: diplomatic, economic, military, cultural, academic, touristic, etc. Anything less is partnership in the crimes of genocide, apartheid, colonialism, occupation, and aggression.

This is a thoroughly fascinating article on Lebanon's Charles Malik - still canonized today as a founder of global human rights - who embraced violently racist anti communist counter revolution in the 1960s and 70s. Open access!

In @historians.org American Historical Review, an article by Nathaniel George explores the life and beliefs of a Lebanese diplomat, espousing the idea that counter-revolutionism and anti-colonialism equally shaped the history of the Global South. academic.oup.com/ahr/article/...

While great effort has been invested in analyzing the role of revolutionary intellectuals in history, much less attention has been paid to the counterrevolution and its guides. This is especially the case in the former colonial world in the era of decolonization, where anticolonial politics are often portrayed as having been the default position. Lebanese philosopher and statesman Charles Malik was a candid opponent of what he theorized as the “great Asian and African revolution” against imperial rule. Instead, he advocated consciously counterrevolutionary politics that sought to purify the corruptions of “collectivism, materialism, and secularism” brought forward by an age of anticolonial and socialist revolutions. Primarily known as a principal author of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, it was in the Lebanese arena that his global political commitments were most directly expressed. This included his decisive role in securing US military intervention during Lebanon’s 1958 civil war, and more fundamentally in his founding role in the Front for Freedom and Man in Lebanon (FFML), the counterrevolutionary, Christian-supremacist alliance in Lebanon’s international civil war (1975–90). Malik’s praxis highlights an overlooked philo-colonial trend in the era of decolonization: native advocates for continued imperial sovereignty over a dependent and rigidly stratified nation-state without equal citizenship. Malik’s ideological and material entanglements on multiple scales foreground the defining part of counterrevolutionary networks in shaping the global history of twentieth century and its inheritance.
