@marclamonthill Blood libel passing for a call for justice, Prof. Hill.
Rule of thumb: Anyone who finds kind words to say about a charismatic Black leader who admires Hitler, calls Jews "termites" and cultivates a neo-fascist militia like @LouisFarrakhan, forfeits any claim to moral credibility.

@marclamonthill

@marclamonthill @LouisFarrakhan Let's recall that @marclamonthill is on record supporting an dpraising the bravery of Palestinians who commit violence against Jews.

So his defending Erekat is nothing but par for the course.

@marclamonthill

@marclamonthill @LouisFarrakhan Let me be blunt about it. @marclamonthill 's conception of justice is the self-evidence of Jewish culpability. In this he's no different from a 1950's white Southern man, a friend of KKK leader, enraged by a young Black man looking at a white girl, to a point of murderousness.

Now read this, and answer my question in the end: Am I wrong? /2

Tacitus said "It is part of human nature to hate the man you have hurt.". Look at European support for Palestinian blood libels to understand what he meant.

There 's a darker side to his insight.

It's part of human nature to hate the man who rendered you a great favour. /3

Let's look at the latest manifestos of Black American antisemitism this way:
When Jews started to gain intellectual power, political influence in the 20th century, they used their new powers of persuasion to assist and stand in total solidarity with struggling Black Americans /1

The Blacks' civil rights movement and fight against racism became the projects of all American Jews.
FF to 21st century: Black Americans dominate in political and intellectual cyrcles, media and academia. Their progressive project of anti-racism seems irreversibly tethered /2

to turning Jews -anywhere- to "White Supremacists" unentitled to the usual considerations democracies grant besieged minorities.
Acco. to this new ethos, the Holocaust was white-on-white violence, nothing Black Americans ought to factor into their "justice" calculations./3

@marclamonthill

@marclamonthill is not "attacked" and noone doubt his scholarly credentials, as a Prof. of Media, Urban Studies, African-American Studies. Being disputed is his claim to have published a scholarly book on Israel, a subject on which can't be regarded as an "expert." /1

@marclamonthill

@marclamonthill claimed that he has a degree in Mid-East Studies. But will not reveal for some reason where he got it or who his proffs were. He believes that his word shd be enough to remove any scepticism.

Like you, @RashidaTlaib I had a grandmother of great wisdom. /2

She kept a vegetable garden and learned that even if you see a rosette of leaves, upon pulling it from the ground, there won't be necessarily a carrot root attached to it. Any numbe rof reasons can account for it. /3

@sarahtweets8t @NomoreBDS @JasonJPaul @30Crowned @marclamonthill @ian_pudding @YoniMichanie Basically, true. Except @marclamonthill is not "anti-Israel", as in: critical of this or that policy. He goes far beyond mere criticism when:

1. He openly calls for taking away from Jews their sovereigny and freedom as in "From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free" /1

@sarahtweets8t

@sarahtweets8t @NomoreBDS @JasonJPaul @30Crowned @marclamonthill @ian_pudding @YoniMichanie 2. He decides to recategorize certain Jewish ethnicities in ways that are strange, a-historical and flatly rejected by the very Jews he seeks to disappear into some other identity that better serves whatever theories he has about Jews. /2

@sarahtweets8t

@sarahtweets8t @NomoreBDS @JasonJPaul @30Crowned @marclamonthill @ian_pudding @YoniMichanie It's textbook antisemitism: 1. remove rights from Jews 2. categorize Jews to make them disappear from their own history and world's history.

Both these aims are not academic but have some very definite political goals, th elikes of which we have seen in history. /3

@JoeNBC

@JoeNBC @Morning_Joe Scarborough, ever since watching "The Darkest Hour" ,TV melodrama series "The Crown" has been fancying himself "Churchillian". His writing skills have gotten more purple as his self- adulating fantasies deepened.
Some Churchillian wisdoms to live by.

No event bears direct resemblance to historical events. Lady History is playing mind games. Causes come dressed in pretty garbs and adorned by pretty statements, and we don't recognize them for what they are. It takes a Churchill (or an Alan Bloom) to see where they are heading.
