I would read about it!

Balfour was a government minister with the weight of an imperial power behind him. Why the need to use hyperbole?

Varför kopiera högerns talepunkter om Hamas och antisemitism? Det är bra att somalierna är solidariska med palestinier, sen kan man ha en nyanserad diskussion om Hamas. Ni inser väl att högern använder samma logik för att strypa stöd till palestinska organisationer och UNRWA?

Här lite info, tydligen heter den Fair: www.expressen.se/nyheter/sver...

Maybe Bolt? There is also another app called Fare. You can also use Taxi Stockholms app

Feels a bit like circular reasoning when you’re using the phrase ”tankie.” I mean, there are also completely valid criticisms of Mamdani and his approach to Palestine that have nothing to do with what you’re describing.

Nah, I think they’re just two different guys. Also only the Richard dude is a congressman, Max’s father (Sydney) was some sort of advisor to Bill Clinton during his presidency, so they’re both democrats I guess

You’re wrong though, his father is Sidney Blumenthal. The guy in the video is Richard Blumenthal

Om det är tyst som graven kanske du slutar surfa på sociala medier ;) åtminstone bluesky

Would be interesting to know more about the Druze in Jordan. I know the FM Ayman Al-Safadi is Druze for example

I only read your post, so I don’t know much about you, but it seems like you don’t consider the fact that (1) the actions of Arab armies does not justify killing civilians (2) ethnic cleansing started before 1948 (3) ”transfer” has been a goal of Zionist leaders since Herzl. See link.

Maybe you should study the Nakba through perspectives that don’t align with your beliefs? Then you will understand the other side. You can for example check out the NGO Zochrot and their testimonies:

I’m just wondering, how do you regard WINEP? I am usually wary of stuff I read from there due to their connection to Israel (no hate against A. Zelin, he writes good stuff).

Saw the same thing in Riga, it was a Radisson

Sorgligt hur mycket skit som Mellanösternvetare får utstå, Sverige skiljer sig tydligen inte från flera andra västländer i det avseendet.

Today's European far-right does this deliberately - supporting Israel is part of global right-wing nationalism, which provides cover for antisemitism against Jews at home and revisionism of their own fascist pasts. If you see "pro-Israel" as synonymous with "anti-antisemitism," you won't get it.

Do you have any tips on good books on Afghanistan that one can read instead?

Thank you for a good article professor. It is also the first time I see you directly adress anti-Palestinian racism. Please keep on highlighting this, as it is very connected to the issues you have mentioned.

I know you write mostly about Ukraine, but please don’t forget Palestine 🇵🇸 🇺🇦

I get your point about pundits. Though from a EU perspective, I do think the individual sanctions and court cases against regime officials (including in Sweden) show that, institutionally, a lot of attention is given to the regime’s crimes. Hopefully, there will be similar measures against Israelis
