I will stand up for Palestinian human rights and firmly against bigotry aimed at Jews. They are the same job

89. Could you answer the question I asked you?

It was: 'Also, what other instances are you talking about where a country has occupied another people for decades? I need to know what sort of company Israel's amongst '

I assume the *you* in yr post is not aimed at me? Because if it is, you would be very wrong, and I'd be more than happy to go through it point by point. After the strange response about academia and my studies, I'm not too sure. And speaking of academia, is there an acceptable level of attention that should be given to Israel? I studied ME politics and the creation of Israel, including Zionism is part and parcel of that area of study. You haven't given any rational explanation of why that's a 'fixation' rather than the study of countries in a specific region. I also did a unit of study on my own country and its violent, colonial history of oppression and slaughter of the indigenous population. How is that any different than studying Israel's past? Is there a word limit you'd impose on people so they don't cross over this imaginary 'disproportionate fixation' line? If you need me to explain why there's a lot of Western attention on Israel's treatment of the Palestinian people, then I can do that.

Off to dust off some of my old books written by post-Zionists. Or is post-Zionism seen by you as antisemitic as well? After all, it's all soooo fucking simple, right??
