an organization whose primary driving force is Islam

What Islam? A collection of beliefs? A set of believers?

The defining contention of materialism is that ideas are not the primary driver of history. Hakim’s post says, without qualification, that Islam is the driving force of the resistance.

The backflips folks are doing in this thread (including obliterating the very distinction between the ideal and the material, which is revisionism) to reconcile these two blindingly obvious, incompatible things are incredible.

That is a materialist analysis of the situation lol because that is what the Palestinians themselves are saying

Self-report (unadorned by any commentary or context, even) is ‘material analysis’ now? What?

no matter how different a homophone’s intensions, they all sound the same to me

Based on these victims’ ages and the fact that they weren’t in prison, can’t we infer that they were in the IDF?

They probably couldn’t have been Greta’s friends then

Sorry, haven’t really followed this. Is the idea of ‘the long Corbyn’ that somehow he’s responsible for alleged anti-Semitism outside his tenure or time in leadership?

He’s on a half-informed anti-idpol/politically incorrect kick for the past few years, and combined with his tendency to really stick it to people and actions that he feels lack integrity, it sometimes leads him to engage in insults and boomerisms that ultimately undermine his valid points. It’s a real shame because he still has a lot of value to say and he’s getting in his own way when he does that.

I love how the questioner in that clip just smiles, nods and walks away instead of further replying, like ‘damn, you got me’. He doesn’t seem mad about it either— he looks like maybe it’s really given him something to think about.

thank you for your work!!

I have some visual difficulties and the subtitles on the ‘human animals’ statement were tough for me without bolder black lines or a dark translucent background for the subtitles.

Nonetheless I think your clip was quite effective!

A little bit to my surprise, ol’ Norman Finkelstein, in his media appearances since this latest development in the occupation, has refused to condemn Hamas. In his interview with Chris Hedges yesterday, he explained this decision with reference to slave revolts in the US, John Brown, and the Haitian revolution. I think it’s a sound comparison.
