Trump seems determined to barter away other people's homes, whether in Ukraine or Gaza. It reminded me of my research into memory and displacement after World War II, so I wrote this essay, with a little help from Ukrainian, Polish & Palestinian poetry. open.substack.com/pub/uilleamb...

Bertolt Brecht, "In Dark Times," translated by Tom Kuhn and David Constantine

In finsteren Zeiten

Man wird nicht sagen: Als da der Nussbaum sich im Wind schüttelte
Sondern: Als da der Anstreicher die Arbeiter niedertrat.

Beinart goes a long way in this cogently written book to explain our current moment, in which fascist Revisionist Zionism has become perfectly acceptable in the Jewish establishment and routine for some Jews to condemn others (even to death) for their opposition to Zionist Statist theology.
Being Jewish After the Destruction of Gaza comes out today. It's about how the organized Jewish community came to elevate the rights of a state above the rights of the people who live within it. And how Palestinian liberation can be our liberation too peterbeinart.substack.com/p/my-new-book

#tdih 1948 Plane crash in Los Gatos Canyon.

Newspapers did not name the 28 Mexican laborers who died.

"Deportees" ballad by Woody Guthrie led to belated recognition.
