I have just discovered the work of investigative journalist david.sheen.com He shows how the extreme far right is at the centre of the Israeli government. One of his videos shows quotes from the Rabbis who teach at a prestigious Israeli army college. They support slavery, murder of non-jews, including babies, and say hitler was right in his views (around inferior races-of course they don’t believe he chose the correct race to demonise). It was terrifying. The west is arming and supporting this ideology.
SOLUTIONS: Let's put down the Dersh-Devil for a minute.... ;).... I can't help but wonder about WHY the Palestinian/Israeli "Land" Issue has never been "solved" since 1948 = 70+ years? How many previous attempts at a (fair & equal) 2-state existence went straight into a bonfire of rage? Why? Clearly, there are those --(be it individuals around the world; Terrorist Groups; and/or rich-powerful-corrupt leaders, nations) -- who do not want to solve the Arab/Israeli problem for their own sick twisted psychopathic agendas. And THAT is what needs to be targeted before peace will come on Earth... Maybe Big Pharma can invent a pill that dissolves these psychopaths blood lust & lust for domination, control, power over others or the lack conscience text-book psychopaths have? SOLUTION: (1) Why can't the Arab Nations... (like Saudi Arabia & Quatar-- who are amongst the richest in the world...) be challenged to pay each & every Palestinian citizen over $1million per person to set up their own houses, towns, financial stability, etc., anywhere in the world? Both these uber-rich countries wouldn't even notice a penny missing. What would happen if they put out the money? Same war? Different players? If so WHY???? (2 ) So the Terrorists (amongst others) want to exterminate the Jews just like Hitler did? So hypothetically... pretend that the Terrorist's "Dream-Come-True/Heinous Hitler Hypothetical" nightmare "Terrorist Wish List" came true... via say... Aliens in UFOs suddenly came down & took every Jewish person off the face of the Earth." OK.... Now what??? Suddenly, now all blood-thirsty Terrorist Groups/Oppressive Leaders/Corrupt Power-mongers are "magically" going to morph into kind, selfless, loving, gentle peace-makers?? Seriously? These Terrorist Groups/Nations/Leaders/Individuals will just turn/pivot & point their weapons of death at you and me & any other group/civilization because they are PSYCHOPATHS who compulsively indoctrinate hatred towards everyone. And anyone who says that any group of people should be wiped off the face of the Earth... is (PSYCHOPATHIC/lack a conscience...) and are not able, stable or equipped to make ANY decisions about Humanity... let alone lead a Nation or peoples... The question to ask is: "How do we get the Neanderthals & the Apes to EVOLVE away from their PSYCHOAPTHIC behaviors of blood lust; violence lusting; lust for power, control, domination over others?
OK, if an oppressive State was bombing the shit out of your city, and had Occupied your city for decades, and killed many of your relatives, maybe even your mom and dad, would you accept money from another country to move to their country as a solution to the crimes against humanity that you have endured for your lifetime? Why don't the rich Israeli's pay for every Native American to move to London so they can have a "fresh start?"
Please address my hypothetical about Jews & the hatred against them for the last 3,000 years: "Hypothetically... say alien UFOs came down & kidnapped all the Jews off the planet.... OK...??? Now what??? Now suddenly those who hated Jews will "MAGICALLY" become loving, peaceful, selfless, gentle people?? (As if Hitler would have magically morphed into Saint Joseph after the last Jew was gassed, right??? Obsurd!!!) Those "Haters & Blood Lusting Psychos" will just pivot, turn & shoot the rest of us... PSYCHOPATHS will always demand POWER, CONTROL & DOMINATION over others... You could "argue" that the torture of the Palestinians -- (who kept refusing to accept a land/peace deal for years) -- has CREATED the psychopathy of those without a conscience who murder babies in their Jewish cribs... but I would leave that to Dr. Lee's assessment... But never forget... a man without a conscience... is capable of anything... If this issue REALLY was only & strictly about the Jews versus Palestinians "land issue" then it could have been resolved 70 years ago but each time the SOLUTION was offered... it was not accepted... by the Palestinian leaders??? Why? Why haven't the SOLUTIONS been accepted & peace made???? On appearance this seems like a war about land, (which helps cover up the ugly truth)... underneath the "land issue," it's also still ALL ABOUT PSYCHOPATHY: DOMINATE, CONTROL & POWER OVER OTHERS.... And BTW... howz this all working for the Palestinian people who are being slaughtered by the thousands...? And why isn't Hamas putting an end to the slaughter of their own people by doing the right thing & releasing hostages? I do not "take sides" -- I take lies & expose them via the "Sword of Truth"
OK last question: Why do Arabs hates Jews? WHY DO PEOPLE HATE JEWS? Why did Hitler hate the Jews??? It makes no sense whatsoever to me... Why the hate? And no, I am not Jewish.
You are not speaking through the mightiest "Sword" of all... The "Sword of Truth" which does not conveniently leave out the facts of reality... That's not problem solving on your part... that's delusional thinking... which SOLVES NOTHING.... You have not addressed any of my points nor SOLUTIONS about what is REALLY going on in this horrific, complex, multi-faceted never-ending (70+ years) BATTLE? Why not? I talk SOLUTIONS... not about "revenge" because when... exactly... has "Revenge" ever RESOLVED any problem whatsoever since the dawn of Mankind? October 7th 2023 happened... You can't erase reality... nor lie or dismiss reality or facts... about the last 70+ years of Palestinians being forced to live in Gaza under horrible conditions while Hamas takes the money & makes "tunnels".... ???? And "siding" with one side or the other also doesn't SOLVE THE PROBLEM... IT JUST ALLOWS PROBLEMS TO GET BIGGER & WORSE... Step up to the plate and SOLVE-THE-PROBLEM!!! Because He (or She) who solves the problem... truly... reigns supreme... Hamas attacking & murdering Jewish children... Did that solve the problem for Palestinians? Or make things worse/a nightmare?
So Arab Nations DO NOT have a MORAL RESPONSIBILITY to help their "Brothers" the Palestinians? The Two-State SOLUTION was destroyed each & every time it was offered multiple times by.... Arab Leaders like Arafat, etc. Rich Arab Nations like Saudi Arabia; Jordan; United Arab Emirates, etc., apparently have enough money to bankroll GOLF as in "Liv Golf" but they don't have the money to save the lives of Palestinian children & let them begin new lives in peace & prosperity???? What do you want? Death & Revenge? Or peace where children are not slaughtered because they are either Jewish or Palestinian? Hamas could put an end to this slaughter/war. Why haven't they don't that?
Re: Financially helping the Palestinians survive (or move away or stay) & live a life of peace, prosperity & no violence is a "bad thing?" Please explain your logic & how "Revenge" is a "better" solution?????
Why blame Dersch? He's a parasite, he's a scoundrel, he's amoral & a sellout. He gets $$$, fame & privileges (Lolitas) from his financiers to do all the dirty deeds. He has no conscience. He just follows the script.
But problem is the cowardice of American intellectuals. Lawrence Tribe at the very onset raised his suspicion of Oct 7 attack as a 'wag the dog' moment of Bibi. But then he backpedaled and withdrew his position. Timothy Snyder and Ruth Ben Ghiat, the so called great scholars on Fascism, do not have the guts to condemn Genocide in Gaza. The case of Snyder is really puzzling. In recent years, he has talked about international law, rationality in world order, threats of dictatorships, threats of Fascism etc etc. But now he has suddenly gotten mute. He has absolutely nothing to say on Gaza Genocide. He is a coward.
Dr Lee, much of the western intellectuals/scholars/thinkers etc are connected to universities & institutional positions. They care too much about their privileges - their professional career, their offices etc. If they speak against Israel, they will lose their media influence, university positions, professional standing etc. They will lose their privileges. That's why they don't speak the truth (unlike you who chose to speak at risk of your professional & academic career). Dr Lee, you know the cost of speaking up in your field & isolation it caused. Norman Finklestein has to bear similar costs.
So i don't blame Dersch. He's actually a small element in broader frame of things. I am more disappointed with cowardice of American intellectuals who are scared to speak the truth.
Totally agree. I recently looked at Snyder's substack entries because I was wondering what he had to say about the genocide that is happening in real time. He wrote something shortly after Oct. 7th and that mostly condemned Hamas. It's like all these intellectuals are suddenly uninformed and have little knowledge of the plight of the Palestinians. Same with CNN Christine Amanpour's interview of an Israeli official regarding the tunnels underneath the hospital (where they pretended they were searching for the massive Hamas Headquarters) and she was shocked when he said that the Israeli's built those tunnels in 1983. How the hell could I know about that when she did not? Like Jimmy Carter said in 2007, Americans don't want to know (about the plight of the Palestinians).
Snyder has done good analysis on Ukraine-Russia war and MAGA. But he doesn't go beyond that. One needs to follow a diverse set of people to get a full picture of the world. Some thinkers are good in one place but intellectually blind (for whatever reason) in a different place.
DeGaulle's analysis and prophecy on Israel is the strongest. DeGaulle was a philosopher and among the greatest statesman of last century. Americans are uninformed about historical facts & unfortunately they are left astray by so called intellectuals who maintain a conspiracy of silence on various issues. Christine Amanpour is a State Deptt hack. Don't expect anything from her.
So why not challenge all the Jew haters via the standard hypothetical? (Lets say the terrorists/psycho leaders/Jew haters/etc get their "Kill the Jews" sick, disgusting "wish granted" and suddenly, all Jews get taken off the planet by Aliens in their UFOs... OK. So now what? Suddenly now all the blood lusting terrorists & savage degenerates are going to "magically" morph into loving, gentle, kind, selfless, cooperative "terrorists?" All the terrorists/psycho leaders/Jew haters... will simply pivot & aim their AK47s at you and me.... I rest my case to all those Jew Haters...
Dr Lee, Dersch does what he gets paid to do by his masters. The problem is the entire institutional system that has propped up Dersh (& people of his ilk). How such a toxic character rise up in the institution is a reflection not just of Dersch but the overall institution. How he's given lucrative high positions, grants, influence etc is the question. And how the faculty and fellow scholars/professors of Harvard etc have tolerated such a toxic person for decades is the question. or we can also conclude that significant part of whole system of so called "prestigious" institution is also corrupted.

OK I will ask this question again if anyone wants to answer it: Why do some people hate Jews?
Propaganda. Find an out group and vilify them.
