You sneeringly said someone should read a history book, they posted a picture of the history book on the subject that they had in front of them at that second, and you flipped your shit and pretended it was the only book she had ever read. Because you're not a serious person.
That appears to be you. Though. I haven't read that book. You say to have, and of all the books you read, you chose that one to support your point. Other than the Conner, what in the content specifically makes you point and is better than other books to the point that's the one you choose to share?
I’ll tell you books I’ve read on Palestine:
The 100 years war on Palestine
The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine
On Palestine
Three Worlds: Memoirs of an Arab Jew
The Question of Palestine
Justice for Some: Law and Palestine
The Palestine Laboratory
Image and Reality of the Palestine Conflict
Criticism of Israel is not antisemitic and criticism of Jewish people who are not Palestinian as being indigenous to the Levant is based on the probably at this point century long scholarly consensus about colonialism and how it operates
Some is antisemitic, some isn't. People have a right to say as they wish, but not a right to be free from their biases being shown.
I'm interested in this "long scholarly consensus" you refer to. Where did you find it? Did you review it for other academic critiques or views? Does it have a name?
Of Indigenous studies and colonialism? There’s whole departments - I think earlier there was a pretty good link up there that specifically addressed it in the context of Israel
But I mean just generically speaking- typically the people who come in, ethnically cleanse people from their ancestral villages, and enforce the superiority of one type of people over another- are the colonizers not the colonized
I could, and did, with the critical awareness of his bias. It's an interesting book, but it's not free of this bias. He pointed it out directly in the introduction. In the edition I have, he appears to have not footnoted these claims even though the rest of the book is rife with footnotes.
My biases are that we should all work forward specific measurable goals so that everyone can thrive in the way that is important to them.
What about you?
