    Only someone who doesn’t live in “the Levant” could claim that Palestinians in the land don’t ever tell Jews here that they will need to “go back to Europe.”
    It is common to refer to Jews and the Israeli state as “crusaders.”

      It's also common to call a spade a spade, what of it?

      You could always just stop behaving like crusaders...

      I actually didn’t say anything about if Jews here are or are not colonialists/crusaders/whatever. The fact that Palestinians would refer to Israel as a crusader state is more than understandable to me.
      I pointed out that he is totally off on his reading of the experience, desires, or understandings of many of the Palestinians that live here, and he shouldn’t make ridiculous sweeping statements about Palestinian attitudes that are untrue.
      It doesn’t help the left, you just come off as out of touch.

      Jews bought lands. Majority of Jews from Israel came and were expeled from arab countries and have their lands confiscated. Jews never stoled Arab private lands until 47. Arabs did also inside Israel ​@@adamclevi

    There was a lot of depth in this discussion. Maybe because the panellists were intellectuals and not politicos?

    A refreshing change from the subjective dogmatism that is espoused by most "leftists" and their self congratulatory narcissistic" resistance" praxis. Much was intellectually explored from many perspectives but mostly what remained was a sense that - beyond the very easy target of exposing regressive "leftists" - although there was a general agreement of what one was AGAINST in many aspects the political hot potato of clarity of what one is FOR was absent. Yes, the point was made - too tangentially for my liking- that the left of the west must put its own house in order first but it is simply not enough to preface discussion of what that actually means by casually saying "Socialism" in most sentences. I do not hesitate to write that i doubt any of the panellists could reach any semblance of agreement of what Socialism and its necessity is let alone how to set on the road to it . Therein lies the essence of the problem among the "left" especially in the West where there is still far more opportunities to rebuild Proletarian Socialism. Fakhry was on the whole exempted from my criticisms above.

    Fakhry made excellent points, especially about the two scenarios of genocide or ethnic cleansing. The left does have a duty, not to make decisions for the Palestinian or Israeli people about their political candidates post-war, but they have a duty to fight against the alt-right policies in the USA that is destroying the left and to chose our own candidates better (preferable ones that are anti-genocide or at least called for a cease-fire).

      By "alt-right policies in the USA that is destroying the left", what do you mean?

    Studabaker actually managed to completely dwarf Sennesh in utter pablum and banality, incredible achievement.

    מה הקטע עם המשקפיים העגולות?

    @tmsphere 3 месяца назад +2

    Sennesh just wishes to leapfrog the Apartheid and colonialism question. Like a group born into 3rd class status and codified as human animals could just automatically benefit from their occupiers "socialism" which they have no way to get to themselves in the first place. Oh where have all the benevolent colonialists gone?

      There are at least 3 panelists with glasses, so that really doesn't narrow it down. Do you have a timestamp?

    Did not expect to hear about marksism ..
    I come from soviet union
    So i have seen communism from inside
    Not a good idea for US
    Marks was smart
    But his idea never came to life
    No were
    Its always starts as big bright
    But ends in dictatorial bunch
    The problem comes from structure
    Complex to explain
    (Long)
    But
    For US the problem is the beginning
    It will 100% collapse into civil war
    Reason is :
    In communism idea must come before everything else
    US has diverse society of ideologicaly incompatible elements
    The moment you start forcing bigger ideology
    There will be chaose
    The worst part is economics
    1) how will you take posations from people
    Distribution - leveling people to equality sounds good in theory
    But it looks a bit different in reality
    2) in communism you have to clean conflicting element
    This means conflict with religion
    In islamic world
    Marksism used as a tool but in the end
    Communists are converted into islamists
    Long rote
    Same end
    Communism is much more oppressive then it looks
    Else it collapses
    If you want to take advantage from
    Socialism
    You should learn from israel
    And china
    Kibuts is socialistic construct inside capitalistic high hierarchy
    It works well
    In chaina
    They split city of communism city of capitalism
    The communist cities have high production
    Capitalist cities have high engineering
    And business men coalification
    But
    If you look at people lives
    Well
    You should listen to stories of people that left one city and moved to another
    Where second was communist
    Interesting stories.
