IAEA And US Intelligence Dispute Israeli Claims About an Initial Attack by Iran open.substack.com/pub/samschin...

Ongoing series on explaining that there's still an org called the IAEA and they actually tell us when countries are in violation of the NPT. We should listen to them.

Of course bombing hospitals and killing civilians is utterly reprehensible. This is an indisputable fact. Right? Right? We all agree on this unequivocally. Right? Don't we?

Apparently we don't.

April 1994 open.substack.com/pub/samschin...

At 19, my Israeli cousins warned me that as a Jew in Israel, I had enemies everywhere and that it was best to kill them before they inevitably killed me.

Zionism and the "Lachryose Conception of Jewish History" open.substack.com/pub/samschin...

Jews from Arab lands have a very different history from European Jews and it is almost always overlooked. What does this mean for Zionism?

It's Upon Us to Fix This Terrible Rhetorical Mistake open.substack.com/pub/samschin...

There will be more attacks on Jews in this country. We can put a stop to them by correcting the rhetorical record.

It's Upon Us to Fix This Terrible Rhetorical Mistake
More antisemitic attacks are inevitable because of Israel's psychotic behavior, unless we put a stop to the absurd conflation of antisemitism and criticism of Israeli policy.

Sagacious analysis here from @yashalevine.bsky.social. I write a lot about I/P & anticipate the impending whataboutism. Levine rightly emphasizes the shooter's manifesto: "Israel" as perpetrator, not "Jews."

You've heard the plaintive refrain: "Why are they so obsessed with Israel? Why can't they complain about other atrocities?" I'll tell you why: Because the Gaza genocide is the WORST CRIME OF MY LIFETIME. We're 'obsessed' just as Zionists are obsessed with killing Palestinians.

A Higher Ed institution penalizes someone who speaks out against killing. I understand reprimanding someone who makes a speech encouraging mass murder. This is someone who wants that to stop. That's a bad thing to promote? Insanity.

To paraphrase the intrepid @michaelhobbes.bsky.social, the program of the "extreme right" can be reduced to one strategic exploit: Selling victimhood to privileged people. It serves White Christian nat'lists, as well as Zionists still using the Holocaust to justify murdering Palestinian children.
