Interview with Pulitzer Winner Nathan Thrall on Israel’s System of Domination
Thrall discusses Biden's weapons "pause"; the ceasefire talks; anti-Netanyahu protests; Israel's crackdown in the West Bank; & the conflation of legitimate criticism with antisemitism.
Thrall says debates over the future of a Palestinian state are an enormous distraction from Israel’s system of domination that has lasted for over half a century & isn't going anywhere.
Seems TechDirt's take on Biden's TikTok ban is similar to mine;
"Enacting this legislation has undermined this long standing, democratic principle. It has also undermined the U.S. government’s moral authority to call out other nations for when they shut down internet access or ban social media apps and other online communications tools."
"Apartheid South Africa was kicked out of the UN General Assembly. Try that with Israel. Israel has been defying their will for the longest time."
Some Arab countries' stances have been shameful. They have a lot of leverage - massive investment in the US economy, hosting of US bases, selling oil in USD, making USD the reserve currency in the world.
They can withdraw their ambassadors, etc. But there’s no will.
