I have adopted Ta-Nehesi Coates position on the Israeli-Palestinan discourse where talking about the "complexity" of the situation is a red herring for avoiding the morality of it, which is *extremely* simple.

Michael Brooks, I hope you know that millions are playing your song.

yeah Oct7th is an act of "Liberation"

Israel supporters invoked "complexity" and "nuance" in bad faith for a long time. People called it out before Ta-Nehisi Coates.

“It’s always complicated when you want to take something from someone else.”

Yeah, I can understand maybe initially thinking it was super complicated, particularly years ago. Today, Netanyahu and his people has made it extremely clear in words and deeds. Apartheid and genocide is wrong, period.

Somebody wrote "there are no defenses of Israel's behavior towards the Palestinians that are not rooted in deflection" and I think that's about right. "Complexity" is one category of deflections

I watched a movie about the Israeli farm miracle and instantly understood how they were dewatering the West Bank. 30 years ago. I am grateful that someone with TNC's platform called a ♠️ a ♠️

Apartheid, like the death penalty, is always wrong. Nothing gets better until the settlements stop.
