The situation is far worse than it was nine years ago, thanks to Israel's own lifelong nukes obsession, the fanatical Kahanist turn of the Israeli Parliament, and Congress's complicity. A nightmare scenario I've long feared may be coming.

The most disturbing part of this is that only when he criticized Jewish people was the student disciplined. He could freely call for the death & disappearance of Black people via rescinding the Civil War amendments & apparently that’s just good scholarship.

The U.S. helped oust Iran’s government in 1953. Here’s what happened.
