As a rule, I shun online beefs. They’re so asinine. But I did get involved in this. It was a note in this thread. I think the note is self-explanatory. Update 2 April 2004: This is the note as I wrote it, unedited. But I do wish to stress that Freddie was absolutely right to point out the utter ridiculousness of pottery made by Palestinian kids offending people; the incident, and its lack of traction in the general story about British Jews being “under siege” is noteworthy.
The only time the Palestinian “movement” has been anything other than religiously grounded in Islamic supremacist ideology was when the Soviet Union rewrote the “narrative” to appeal to Western intellectuals in the faddish anti-colonial, anti-imperial liberationist language then current.
That being the history, it should surprise no one that, good Marxist that he is, DeBoer continues to follow the party line - long after the Party itself has ceased to exist. It’s zombie politics at its best.
Ha! Enjoyed this post. I have tried to read deboer but I always get a sniff of the smart marxist in the air and stop. Exactly like you said - I just fuck right off. People used to say “I wouldn’t cross the street to watch Jane Fonda cut her wrists”, which is actually what they want her to do, but they really just don’t give a damn what she does. So with Marxists. They think the declaration of their Marxistness is oppositional, brave, they hope stunning. But it is just the most boring will to power nihilism imaginable. Masturbatory self regard.
Palestinian liberation can kiss my toches. The chimera of a two state solution has cost untold hundreds of Israeli lives. Whatever Judea and Samaria are now is the best "two state solution" they'll ever get - and it's a damn sight better than what they had under Jordan until '67
