Somehow I read that last guy’s name as Mickle Bickle

Just a reminder that Vice was founded by Gavin McInnes, who also founded the Proud Boys and explicitly mentioned wanting to use Vice as a hipster-to-chud pipeline.

Sure! This is a very illuminating article about the zeitgeist in the early 00s, including an interview with McInnes with the quote where he notoriously said “I love being white.”

derbis OP ,

They’re talking about “from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.” They routinely malign this call for freedom as “antisemitic,” and I haven’t been to one where this hasn’t been said. It’s part of their effort to conflate these things, not me being disingenuous.

derbis OP ,

No, it is not. You can look up the one state solution. At this point it’s inevitable, just a matter of how much grief we put ourselves through to get there.

derbis OP ,

And this is what is meant by apartheid. It was never a land without a people for a people without a land. There were always people there. This “safety” is predicated upon ethnic cleansing, and Zionism is now inseparable from that. The implicit suggestion is that Jewish safety requires Palestinian oppression. That is not going to work in the long term. And it’s not worked so far.

derbis OP ,

Are we to pretend things are not “highly volatile?”

derbis OP ,

There’s no longer a menu of options where we have the luxury of feasible or not feasible, preferable or not preferable. We are in a one-state reality now. All that’s left to decide is the degree of strife we’re willing to accept.

Why should the plaintiffs agree to settle at all? Looks like they already proposed an extremely generous settlement
