Another example of anti-Semitic Vichy Democrats. Senator Chuck Schumer, D-Wall Street and D-Israel. He intends to attach to a must-pass bill the IRAC definition of Antisemitism, the one whose examples point to virtually any criticism of Israel as anti-Semitic. This, of course, is Antisemitic: tens of thousands of JEWISH students support Palestine and abhor IDF genocide, as do many of their elders (including, of course, this writer). So Jews can be prosecuted for supporting human decency and abhorring genocide. See this sickening NYT piece, which presumes all Jews support IDF genocide. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/11/19/us/politics/israel-gaza-democrats.html
I also term Zionism as a form of anti-Semitism. My rationale: 1. The Semitic people include both Jews and Arabs. Zionism, with its settler colonialism, apartheid, torture, and genocide, is aimed primarily against Arabs, who are semitic 2. European imperialism has been invading and murdering the Middle East since the Crusades. Zionism comes from Europe. It is a new way to invade and conquer the Middle East, and be able to say "Look, it's not us Europeans this time. It's the Jews. Hate them, not us. 3. Zionism is the most organized, well-funded, and nuclear equipped force of anti-Semitism in the world today. 4. Apart from the Holocaust, the Zionist state of Israel is the worst thing to ever happen to the Jewish people.
Yes, it's a fascist movt. But more than the sum of its parts. A fascist RULING CLASS PARTY of a VIOLENT SYSTEM is in power. Yes, mos def, Millions of MAGAs who want & support THE agenda/form of rule. NOW. Yet, though not our priority, some can be 'peeled' away. There are good examples of this with former Nazis & Skinheads in this country & beyond. Others voted guided by USA selfish gene/rank individualism; US BRED PRODUCTS of ignorance, anti-intellectualism, dumbing down of culture, lack of critical thinking, etc. and backward thinking on any number of ideological questions. TRAINED not to think or see beyond their doorstep - unless, of course Charlie Chaos comes banging at the door, awakening the Comfort Family from its sleep. Those can and will be influenced by Good Trouble, changing the terrain, to come to the side of the DECENT. I think of RevCorps leader Michelle Xai's story of political awakening, leaving ignorance regarding abortion and woman question behind. Hell! BA went from IKE to MAO. Difference is, we're out of time, staring at the abyss. but Lenin's point applies in what can be learned in a VERY SHORT period and BA again on we can't see a qualitative leap until it happens. We CAN entertain scenarios of probabilities and possibilites and try and write as much of the future as we can with as little editing as possible. IDEAS becoming a material force. And human beings' ability to transform into a REVOLUTIONARY force through embodying and making it.
I'm going to try to follow up on this tomorrow...there's plenty more to dig into on this topic.
