Coates expresses the simplicity of opposing apartheid so well. Israel’s defenders twist themselves in knots to come up with the reasoning for (or denial of) apartheid, but there is no defense. There is no current or historical fact that can make it acceptable.
I cannot get past CBS News' Tony Dokoupil telling Ta-Nehisi Coates he's an extremist for writing about Israel's segregationist regime. Then asked him, a child of Black parents who were raised in Jim Crowe America, why he doesn't support Israel's apartheid. GENUINELY bizarre interview.

Jews are dragging humankind into a total catastrophe. By doing so, the modern world is signing the death warrant of Western civilization
My dad read me and my brother the whole Lord of the Rings when I was about 9. It was great. In high school I read it again while high. Great again!

I'm confused. Did I miss all the previous wars that were successfully stopped by campus student protest in the old days?
I do not have the bandwidth to blog a full rejoinder to Zeynep's latest NYT piece. So I'm gonna write it as a quick thread instead. Her thesis is that the effectiveness of mass protest (particularly campus protest) has waned, and social media is the main culprit. www.nytimes.com/2024/09/21/o...
It’s time for organizers to invent a new model.
