To wit, Palestinians voted overwhelmingly for Hamas. What has been said is to encourage people to ask a question: does Iraq war was the best policy to protect the interest of American power?
Experts say the question is not about Palestine's right to resist, but about holding Israel accountable for its crimes. These are mostly, but not exclusively, of armed resistance movements.
But the real problem is not that the Left points out “imperialism” and heinous polices emanating from the United States. Every writer’s word must be open to scrutiny and questioning — and where the writing is suspect, it must be open to challenge.Although progressives may have disagreements, in the end, what is important is solidarity for the rights of the oppressed.
It is clear that these policies has not been in the “imperial” interest of the United States. I focused only on what he wrote.
I think the province of Quebec should separate from Canada and Tibet from China. Today, using ethnic divide to weaken the targeted countries for partition and creation of non Arab states in being played everywhere from India to Africa.
Primarily because of Levy’s (and Hass’) reporting, Israelis cannot say ‘we did not know’. Basques from Spain, and so forth and so on.
The equality of people(s) is a fundamental principle. The tail/dog is like the chicken/egg…but it’s clear that these tactics are those following imperialistic principals using the most sophisticated weaponry the world has ever seen.But Israel’s interests are no different than any other imperial power (in Israel’s case they are confined to a region). I don’t think it is black and white.
Israel: that’s one sick puppy and the US has a pathological relationship with this sicko. My position on this has absolutely nothing to do with the Middle East, Zionism or Leftism. Certainly US occupation of coutries throughout the world and the low and high intensity warfare the USA has unleashed over the past centuries is not “Zionism” unless you are changing the meaning to be something much broader than anyone here has indicated.I don’t think Zionism (aside from its value as a shorthand description of Israel’s policies and existence on stolen land) is the issue; any more than racism or terrorism are the issue. Holding on to populations and land mass is done primarily for hegemonic reasons.Is there a particular pre-condition which determines the legitamacy of separation? Zionists, at least what seems to be the general referral here, are simply using the US model of exceptionialism.
The nature of innuendo is that it is murky. If *only* they could have done something!
thnxThe rhetoric is to lead the less aware to see the current foreign policy in the United States as just another line in the United States long history of oppression. But if you take your eye off that ball for a moment you’ll see the US has been and continues to do this elsewhere.Let’s be clear headed if nothing else. I believe that the work you wanted to use was Brutality. they r in turkey because they had been conquered.
One feeds the other. By demonizing Hamas in his writing, Levy gives succor to the Israeli extremists strangling Gaza, even though he does not agree with the criminal methods. If does, how.”First this presumes war/invasions are always ultimately in the best interest of the perpetrator – try Vietnam.
As for the guilt of the US being stratified I do not believe that either.
They have the moral right to resist occupation. I am concerned with the Zionist-serving writing of Levy that defies Palestinian aspirations. The US has shown itself do be capable of pulling the reins in on Israel (there is an annual allowance of some $3b give to Israel to keep this little malignant game going and something just shy of that to Egypt.) While I won’t argue that what we see in Gaza is clearly a human evil, it hardly represents ALL of human evilness. thnxAs an American warrior I have been accused of many things, but Bestiality is a first.
It is a brilliant tactic because to bring up any such analysis is by definition “anti-Semitic”.
Much of Canada’s oil, and I think that of Venezuela’s is not as rich and requires much more refinement than what we’ve been getting for the ME. In fact, they believe that resistance has its own characteristics and spatialities.
'Right to Resist' Afik's 'Brutal Occupation' If history is any guide, O'Keefe will call the murders of Afik Zahavi and Mordechai Yosefov "the Palestinians' right to resist".
Government officials in the US, Canada, and Europe spoke the same lame phrase, “Israel has a right to defend itself,” as if the slaughter being carried out by a world military power against a starving population could be construed as some kind of defense. I clarified what I meant by RoR in the other thread – you chose to ignore it so Ill repeat it here. These and many more are merely a manifested outcome of power and domination.
