In the mid-sixties, Egypt was the largest radio broadcaster in the world second only to the US with a large tech infrastructure, broadcasting anti-American, antisemitic, & anti-Western propaganda to all corners of the globe. At the time, the Egyptian propaganda apparatus /1
was being managed by Nazi fugitives hiding in Egypt like Johann Jakob von Leers, who used to be a chief propagandist in the Third Reich, later called himself Omar Amin after he converted to Islam and worked as an advisor to Nasser. Much of these historical details are lost, /2
but people don't know that the monstrous antisemitic fascist human impulse didn't simply die in Europe in WWII, but actually infected the Middle East and went into hiding in the intellectual spheres of the left, Third Worldism, Islamism, Arabism, etc. Israel was and still /3
fighting the Hitler after Hitler.

This is a really bad bill that shows the terrible way the US is heading. The bill is not about Islamophobia, already a concept with a dubious history of trying to suppress conversations critical of Islam and Islamism, in the US, but /1 cnn.com/2021/12/14/pol…
Islamophobia in foreign countries. The bill requires the State Department to report on " acts of physical violence or harassment of Muslim people" in foreign countries. If this was about the Uighurs in China, it should have been just about China. But now, is every /2
violence in which Muslims are a side would be considered Islamophobia? Look at who is introducing it, this mechanism will be used against and heavily target Israel. Will violence in Egypt or UAE against Islamists be considered Islamophobic? /3 congress.gov/bill/117th-con…
الم يحين الوقت حتى يحترم الفكر الإسلامي عقولنا وانسانيتنا؟ ام اننا سنظل في مستنقع الظلام والتصوف الفكري هذا للأبد؟ هل يمكننا ان نتوقف ان نتعاطف مع ألام واشجان الناقد الادبي الموتور سيد قطب ونتحدث بصدق وامانة عن كتاباته دمرت عقول وازهقت ارواح؟ /1 alaraby.co.uk/opinion/%D8%B3…
ان مؤلف "معركتنا مع اليهود" و"صراعنا مع الرأسمالية" والذي زرع الحقد والعداء للسامية والكراهية والعداء للحداثة في قلوب اجيال يستحق فعلاً مكانة مركزية في التاريخ العربي والإسلامي لما اودى به التصوف الفكري وعبادة الذات المكلومة والرومانطيقية النظرية من دمار وخراب مازالت تصر عليه /2
الوثنية الإسلامية التي تمجد وتعبد "اصالة" ذات غير موجودة الا في هواجسهم وتجرديهم الفكري السيكوباتي. هذا التجريد الفكري الذي ادى لعلاقة صنمية مع "الذات" هي التي دفعت الاستاذ قطب، صاحب الآلام والصرخات والعذابات، لكتابة سطور مثل "فلنحاول ان نغرس بذور الكراهية والحقد والانتقام في /3
الحرب الثقافية المصرية
في منتصف السيتنات، اذاع التليفزيون المصري واحد من اهم اللقاءات في تاريخ الثقافة العربية الحديثة حيث مثل لحظة نهاية الانقلاب الثقافي الذي كانت تشهده الثقافة العربية ضد الوعي النهضوي الليبرالي التنويري ونهاية الحرب الثقافية المصرية بانتصار الفكر اليساري /1
اللاعقلاني والهيمنة اليسارية التامة ضد مبادئ التنوير والعقلانية الأوروبية التي تركتها الحقبة الإستعمارية. عقدت اللقاء المذيعة ليلى رستم بين طه حسين، والذي جسد جيل أدباء النهضة لما قبل الثورة والذين حملوا لواء العقلانية الأوروبية، ومجموعة الادباء الجدد الذين حملوا شحنة يسارية /2

I knew that @jvplive was a bunch of selfish privileged Jewish kids, but I didn't know they are so narcissistic, brainless, and lack any moral sense that they would popularize one of the ideologues of Arab fascism and antisemitism.
Ghassan Kanafani was a leading member and the /1
leading literary figure of the PFLP. He started his career in the 60s when he became a disciple of George Habash, a leading terrorist, idealogue, and the founder of the most fascist and totalitarian pan-Arab organization, the ANM. The ANM would break down later to warring /2
Marxist factions (as such movements tend to do) that would pioneer all kinds of modern terror way before Allahu Akbar became a thing. The ANM, conceived by Arab Christians who were heavily influenced by Marxist totalitarian intellectual traditions and thoroughly impressed by /3
Many of the carrying cardmembers of the American liberal elite insist that marching down the streets of Tehran shouting "Death to America.. Death to Israel" is all just performative social gatherings. That Palestinians calling for "slaughtering the Jews" is merely expressive /1
of injustice. I struggle to try to explain that those beliefs and ideas DO matter. But eventually, it did hit me, those liberals and experts say and think so because they themselves don't believe in anything anymore. American liberalism became a preposterous philisitnic /2
phariseeism of a nation of technicians who believe in nothing but means and techniques. They don't believe the Iranians or the Palestinians really believe in what they say they believe because they personally don't believe in what they say they believe. It's all mere /3
A 14-year-old Palestinian girl just stabbed a Jewish woman who was pushing a stroller and walking her children to school. Can critical theory and institutional racism help you understand this? Can apartheid and social justice explain it without entangling us is delusional /1
abstractions? For a Westerner whose mind is well molded in modern liberal habits of mind, there is no way to understand this weird mystifying incident. Reporters will write entire essays about this, academics will write papers without a single mention of "antisemitism," a word /2
that easily cuts through the matter and explains it. The most obvious characteristic of such terrorist attacks is that they are committed by children, and their childhood exposes the true essence of the matter, simple faith in the villainy of Jews as Jews. In antisemitic /3
