From the link...

"But no one could have predicted that it would take less than 100 years for us to forget one of the most heinous atrocities committed against one people group in modern history — the Holocaust."

Mike of Snoqualmie said...: Climate "tipping points" are the wet dreams of the climate-industrial complex. The climate hysterics keep predicting a tipping points, only to see the prediction fail spectacularly.

One such prediction was that all the glaciers in Glacier National Park would be gone by 2020. The National Park Service even put up signs. The quietly took the signs down in 2019 because the glaciers stubbornly refused to melt. Oops. I guess they didn't read Al Gore's book, so they didn't know what was expected of them.; 12/10/23, 6:53 PM

The Crack Emcee said...: It sure is a good thing nobody's demanding evidence of all that "widespread raping" the Zionists claimed Hamas was up to on Oct. 7, because nobody's seen it.

The reporters who've seen the Zionist's super-secret video of that day say, despite Zionist claims of rapes and atrocities, it doesn't show anything special. Which makes sense, because Hamas' goal was getting hostages to trade, not fulfilling white dude's sexual fantasies. I did hear about Zionists raping Palestinian kids, though.

Haven't seen any babies put in ovens, either. Or decapitated. Nothing about babies occurred. It was all lies. From really great people.

Now they say about half of the dead were killed by incompetent Israelis. And half of who Hamas killed were soldiers. So all of this post-Oct 7 killing is really over about 300 civilians who were legit victims of Hamas. 20,000 innocent Palestinians have died, so far.

Netanyahu is already seen as finished - but only after this project is also finished - so it could take a while.

But it makes sense: If morons keep conflating anti-Zionism with antisemitism, then all the deceit, fascism, and murder that Zionists are engaged in will be conflated with Jews in general, and nobody will trust them, or anything they say about anything.

The Crack Emcee said...: NEW YORK TIMES: '‘Buying Quiet’: Inside the Israeli Plan That Propped Up Hamas

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu gambled that a strong Hamas (but not too strong) would keep the peace and reduce pressure for a Palestinian state.

In other words, he's always been lying about a two-state solution. And he negotiated with "terrorists." And he made them strong.

Please make sure to include all this in all future statements about the purity and clarity of the Zionist's murderous enterprise.; 12/10/23, 7:30 PM

The Crack Emcee said...: "As far back as December 2012, Mr. Netanyahu told the prominent Israeli journalist Dan Margalit that it was important to keep Hamas strong, as a counterweight to the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank. Mr. Margalit, in an interview, said that Mr. Netanyahu told him that having two strong rivals, including Hamas, would lessen pressure on him to negotiate toward a Palestinian state.

The official in the prime minister’s office said Mr. Netanyahu never made this statement. But the prime minister would articulate this idea to others over the years."

Lies are catching up with the Zionists.; 12/10/23, 7:39 PM

But get ready for the American insanity that will come with 2024.

More than likely, the defeat of Trump and the American working class in 2024 will be a global effort, just like COVID in 2020.

2023 is 1859. 1940. 1962. 2010. 2019.

Oh, the evidence is there, all right. Here’s one report, from CNN:

https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2023/12/06/middleeast/rape-sexual-violence-hamas-israel-what-we-know-intl/index.html

Here’s an excerpt:

The evidence of sexual violence presented during the session at the UN was ample and overwhelming and came from different sources.

While [Simchat] Greyman spoke about his experience from the search and rescue operations, Yael Richert, a superintendent with the Israel Police, shared information gathered during the investigation so far.

She said survivors of the terror attack told investigators they witnessed Hamas terrorists perpetrating sexual violence against the victims. She quoted testimonies of several individuals all of whom either directly witnessed sexual violence or saw clear evidence of it.

There’s more in the article, for people whose stomach can handle it. And there are other articles on the web for those who wish to find evidence of rapes on October 7th.; 12/10/23, 8:23 PM

rcocean said...: Still reading book "Romney the Reckoning", and wondering about the man who almost became POTUS. Odd how Mittens poses as the "devout morman" and attacks the morals of others, yet has no problem is supporting every war that comes along and the bombing of civilians. Or destroying worker's lives at Bain captial. Not to mention, lying to his voters about what he stands for.

In fact, he seemed quite proud in his private journal about how he fooled the Republican rubes into thinking he was some sort of Conservative and cared what they thought.

The other facet of Mittens, is his lack of any creative thinking or independent thought.All his opinions come straight from the WSJ/WaPo/NYT Op-ed page. There's little nothing he supports or dislikes that they would disagree with. Even the words and labels come from them.

And while there's some talk in the book of Mittens reading "The Federalist" he spends almost all his time on politics or watching sports. I get the impression that Mittens, like so many of our Pols, doesn't really THINK in any real sense of the word. Everything the establishment has fed him, he accepts.

gadfly said...: I see that Crack Emcee has spent much time in Israel's kibbutzes near Gaza and has personally determined that there was no killing, raping, or capturing of Jewish settlers therein by Hamas terrorists. For sure parents were not slaughtered in front of children and young children were not beheaded to horrify parents.

Crack Emcee knows in his heart that Hamas wouldn't start a war it couldn't win and those hostage releases were all fake news as were the burials in the attacked kibbutzes. All Hamas wanted was a reduced population in Gaza City and more international funds flowing directly to Qatari bank accounts owned by Hamas leaders. Their rockets smashing into the Iron Dome get to be expensive as well as ineffective.; 12/11/23, 3:28 AM

Sociology Meetings
When Jukka Savolainen wrote about it in the Wall Street Journal I couldn't quite believe it, so I had to go look. Indeed, on the website of the American Sociological Association describing its 2024 annual meeting we have the official "theme" of the meeting

"..sociology as a form of liberatory praxis: an effort to not only understand structural inequities, but to intervene in socio-political struggles."

"To intervene." "Political struggles."

American Sociological Association. My emphasis.
For a long time, people have made fun of the "social sciences" including economics as pretend sciences. We have "physics envy," they said, but will never really measure up. Well, a lot of social sciences are not pretending to be sciences anymore!

There is a lot of attention to the political conformity and censorship going on on campuses, but not enough I think to the similar problems of professional societies and journals. Professor Savolainen for example doesn't feel particularly "included" these days.

Hopefully, the explosion into public consciousness over the last few weeks of just how rotten and politicized academia has become will make this sort of thing look pretty embarrassing by springtime

She earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in history from Yale University in 1988, where she served as the head of the Yale College Democrats, and a Juris Doctor from the University of Virginia School of Law in 1995..

Crack:

"You’re crossing the line. The facts are established."

Respectfully, I am not and they are not. I haven't seen any evidence and an LA Times investigation says it isn't so. Just people, like yourself, saying it exists. The claim is "widespread rapes". There should be widespread evidence.

"We all saw the video of the woman whose sweatpants were covered with blood. What the fuck is wrong with you?"

We saw no such thing. We saw a woman with soiled pants. Why? We have no idea. People also crap their pants when scared. Pus, the claim is "widespread rapes" - not one woman. There should be widespread evidence.

"You can hate the Jews, but you can’t deny the facts."

Why do you keep slandering people as hating the Jews? (There should be a name for that now, it's becoming so common.) I'm getting most of what I know from Jews who are disgusted that Zionism is tarnishing Judaism. Damn, you went squirrelly quick.

Jaq said...: Here is a story from the region, handed down over thousands of years:

And there went out a champion out of the camp of the Philistines, named Goliath, of Gath, whose height was six cubits and a span. And he had an helmet of brass upon his head, and he was armed with a coat of mail; and the weight of the coat was five thousand shekels of brass. And he had greaves of brass upon his legs, and a target of brass between his shoulders. And the staff of his spear was like a weaver's beam; and his spear's head weighed six hundred shekels of iron: and one bearing a shield went before him. And he stood and cried unto the armies of Israel, and said unto them, Why are ye come out to set your battle in array? am not I a Philistine, and ye servants to Saul? choose you a man for you, and let him come down to me. If he be able to fight with me, and to kill me, then will we be your servants: but if I prevail against him, and kill him, then shall ye be our servants, and serve us.

So Goliath is heavily armored.

And he [David] took his staff in his hand, and chose him five smooth stones out of the brook, and put them in a shepherd's bag which he had, even in a scrip; and his sling was in his hand: and he drew near to the Philistine.

We all know how it came out. Israel is playing into Hamas's hand. The more casualties among Palestinians, the better for their strategy, Netanyahu is their perfect foil. The US is losing allies in the Middle East while Putin is treated like a returning hero. Arab countries and Iran have allowed fully armed, weapons ready, Russian fighter jets to overfly their territory as a defense against any effort by the US, with all of those carriers in the region, to force down Putin's plane, and you know, arrest him for the "war crime" of evacuating orphaned children from a war zone being shelled, with cluster bombs, by the Ukrainians.

This slogan was repeated by Menachem Begin. Similar wording has also been used more recently by other Israeli politicians, like Gideon Sa'ar and also Uri Ariel of The Jewish Home. In 2014 Ariel said, "Between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea there will be only one state, which is Israel." The phrase has been used by the Israeli Prime Minister, Likud's Benjamin Netanyahu, in speeches. Similar wording has also been used more recently by other Israeli politicians.'

"Video of widespread raping, or it didn't happen."

Or, or, OR - get this - evidence the Zionists even handed out rape kits. Huh? See how evidence works? See how silly and obnoxious you sound?

"Video of Jews on fire or it didn't happen."

No, that did - except they were killed by Zionists using helicopter gunships. Seen all those photos of burnt up cars at the festival? That was their work - not Hamas.

"Video of dead babies or it didn't happen Video of 17,000 dead, or it didn't happen."

Video of something - not just Zionists saying THEY saw it. That's proof of nothing.; 12/11/23, 10:59 AM

I've never killed anyone and I can't stop being white.

If you're ascribing the sins of other white people to me, then we could be here forever as I tar you with the sins of blacks.

Be more specific. Think beyond your hatred of Israel and Jews.

If I said 'stop being black' you'd go even crazier than you are now.

You revel in being an ass. Is that your fetish?

The act was stale months ago.

Too bad there is no way to block individuals.

I lose IQ points every time I read his posts. But pushing his buttons can be fun to see how he will move the goalposts.

"Think beyond your hatred of Israel and Jews."

Antisemitism is the stupidest charge ever laid against me on this blog, and that's saying something, because I've been this place's all-purpose icon of hatred for a while. If you all had ever shown even a modicum of humanity yourselves, I might take it seriously, but that's never happened, so, whatever.

Hamas is a cult.

So is Zionism. As made-up as Mormonism. There's no "historic tie to the land" when they almost ended up in Uganda.

Hamas is a cult worse than yoga.

That's why the Zionists and Nazis use that stuff to kill people.; 12/11/23, 3:17 PM

Hey Crack, why do you think that's so? Is it many of us? Or is it you, singular?

BTW, you're not an icon; you're the person writing the posts on "this place." Why not use your place and leave us in peace?; 12/11/23, 4:16 PM

Because this is a gathering spot for old, white right-wing racists. Has been for a while. They're amusing.

"Is it many of us? Or is it you, singular?"

Oh no, I don't follow ANY of you around - I'm YOUR piñata. You guys talk about me on threads I don't even comment on. You imagine I'm on all of them. You've psychically determined my motivations, living conditions, state of mind, political positions, and more - and then telegraphed them to the world as fact. It's the most fascinating display of collective racism in the modern world I can find. Because there's nothing remarkable about me. I started looking at Zionism on Oct. 7. Listening to you guys, you'd think I never met a Jew and planned to kill one soon, instead of being a foster child with lots of Jews in my life, several jobs in synagogues on my resume, etc. In other words, you're a bunch of clowns - the sinister kind - but that's America.

'BTW, you're not an icon; you're the person writing the posts on "this place."'

Thanks for clearing that up for me, person-who-I-never-heard-of-or-saw-before. Your authority on all this is duly noted.

"Why not use your place and leave us in peace?"
