Israel blogging

Posts on this subject are obviously fraught, so a few things up front:

• the moral question is simple: Palestinian liberation is right & necessary
• the praxis is complicated: antisemitic entryism into the movement for liberation is subtle, pervasive, and unacceptable
• the history is complicated: I have a survey of it which addresses many common misunderstandings on all sides
• I keep an index of resources — my posts and others’

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.
