Israel blogging

Posts on this subject are obviously fraught, so first:
  • I keep an index of resources
  • the moral question is simple:
    Palestinian liberation is right & necessary
  • the history is complicated:
    I have a survey which addresses many common misunderstandings
  • the praxis is complicated:
    antisemitic entryism into the movement for liberation is subtle, pervasive, and unacceptable

David Atkins at Hullabaloo describes the futility of blogging about the subject of the Israel-Palestine conflict.

  1. Incoherent, hateful backlash.
  2. There are no good guys here.
  3. There’s nothing we can do about it.

Certainly the Facebook discussion around my previous blog post bears this out.

Much wisdom here. I wish it were otherwise.
