I think I write the words "containers are a leaky abstraction" on average once every two days.

Won't happen because the far right links the necessity of ethnic cleansing to "preventing antisemitism" and then centrists stop and go "ah, maybe he has a point" or at best "well, we would do it more competently"

Geneva conventions are dead. No such thing as war crimes anymore. Everything is legal if the good people are doing it.

Yeah, but this is how you get centrist Democrats to support your domestic programme. Issue linkage in action. The interesting thing here is the ideological blinders in IR and political science that prevent the usage of its own useful tools and analysis in the current moment.

A governing ideology not implicitly based on great replacement theory would be 20 points ahead.

This is a reply to a Palestinian filmmaker posting a link to a documentary about the genocide. This is the median liberal opinion: Brown existence is hateful, peacemaking is when you disappear from existence quietly.

Starmer 1939: Poland must show restraint and prevent escalation.

That clip of David Lammy chanting "power, not protest" over and over at folk I know at the Fabian conference rolls around in my head whenever he gives the latest mealy mouthed statement. He wasn't kidding, he just meant a fealty to white power.

Full annexation of the West Bank, starving and bombing two million people in the most horrific way imaginable, bombing the shit out of Syria, Lebanon, Yemen, Iran Starmer: 🤭 Iran: right square go you cunts Starmer: alright Iran, you’re destabilising the region, pack it in

Someone needs to ask Starmer, pointedly and directly, "does Iran have the right to defend HERself?" But nobody will because nobody who'd ask that would ever be allowed to be a journo in Britain. The Guardian's calling it an attack on "nuclear sites" while showing the smoking remains of homes.

Implicit in "this wouldn't have happened under Kamala" is that Kamala would have stopped the escalation by hugging the genocide closer and also not pursuing any diplomacy with Iran. Either way, I will get to enjoy the camps as the liberals so very much want me to as they normalise fascism.

When you not only arm the aggressor state but even refuse to identify its aggression, you are contributing directly to the escalation.

We're already in world war III, it's just it's mostly aimed at domestic enemies. Liberals trying to maintain the fiction American and Israeli fascism aren't intimately linked are part of the problem.

Brown people existing is a form of escalation. Must show restraint by dying and accepting dehumanisation in silence.

Famously, people attacked by an external group, especially Iranians, never have a reinforced sense of belonging or patriotism

Would not have survived any Republican government, and subsequent bipartisan consensus is overwhelmingly more in the GOP camp. The US is fundamentally untrustworthy as a negotiating partner.

The oppression of the entire Latino community of Los Angeles right now is difficult to convey. Normally vibrant local retail areas of East LA and SELA look like ghost towns this week. People are afraid to leave their homes. Parents afraid to go to work. It's US citizens too. Anyone with brown skin

Given how many of these articles we've seen in recent days it seems like Hasbara has decided, in the face of rapidly declining Israeli popularity, to just reset to the template they use when Israel hasn't done anything especially egregious for a while.

If Israel nukes Tehran Starmer will have to consider (but not implement) sanctioning a third Israeli cabinet member.

Not sure how meaningful this is given that this is predicated on Harris following Israeli preferences on not reviving JCPOA and also allowing the genocide to complete.

Knowing what I know, I don't see these strikes meaningfully putting Iran's program back (I suppose you can quibble about what meaningful constitutes for Netanyahu). Iran will strike back and odds of a political choice to leave the NPT/take other steps have gone up.
