Conventional Wisdom: The ICJ Ruling on Israeli Settlements
The International Court of Justice has again deliberated over the thorn-bloodied subject of Israeli-Palestinian relations. Its latest advisory opinion, sought by the UN General Assembly early last year, was unremarkably conventional though nonetheless affirming: a finding that Israeli settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem, along with “the regime associated with them, have been […]

Liberals Create Yet another “Support Israel’s Crimes” Position
A genocidal Jewish supremacist political culture rewards, well, a genocidal Jewish supremacist.

Fanon Goes to Palestine
Decolonization is always a violent event. – Frantz Fanon From Fanon’s The Wretched of the Earth, I substituted Palestine and Palestinians for “colonized” and Israel and Israelis for “colonizers.” For the Palestinians, to be a moralist quite plainly means silencing the arrogance of the Israelis, breaking (their) spiral of violence, in a word ejecting them […]
