Boston Tea Party: angry colonists storm a ship and dump all its crates of tea in the harbor, harming no one but making a political statement;
10/7: a band of bloodthirsty fanatics break a ceasefire to torture and murder around a thousand people, taking many others hostage, while weeping with joy at finally getting a chance to spill Jewish blood.
It's always bracing to see what confirmation bias and intellectual conformity do to a brain—Trevor Noah joins the rest of our elite culture class in excusing a massacre rather than standing up to an ignorant fanatic who has the same skin color and plays for the same team.
I'm reminded of the summer of 2020 when American journalism replaced truth and fact with "moral clarity"—why and how is it that EVERY time some person or group proclaims to represent and incarnate a higher moral standard, they end up shortly either excusing or perpetrating the worst crimes? The Social Justice vanguard has the same "moral clarity" as the Jacobins or the Bolsheviks—they want to destroy all their political opponents (or at least watch them suffer) and call this Justice.
And if the price to be paid is only a few thousand dead Israelis, what's that to them? Jews are always the first one under the bus on the road to the Brave New World.
Great comment. They just hate Jews. They should just admit that. They are too stupid to realize the Jews are the canary in the coal mine. Their Apparatchiks will be the first to meet the guillotine.
Great article. And yes, quite hard to believe that questions need to be run by the "Race and Culture" unit. How can that fit in in a supposed news organization?
Dokoupil had the temerity to suggest a saint of the woke religion might be wrong.
Coates (like his fellow quarterwit Ibram X. Kendi) has alws been an imbecile. Gotta wonder whether he realizes how "Palestinians" would treat Black folks given the chance •_____•
It is beyond surreal to contemplate where and how we have come to such a place we now find ourselves in this world.
For a once generally highly educated people, especially steeped in the study of history, particularly the lessons to be gained by the triumph of good over evil, there have always been those controversial and upstart factions from without, poking at and antagonizing the system developed and derived from such study.
But all of a sudden, (or it just appears to be suddenly), those very upstart, antagonistic factions have managed to become the system itself, whereby all previous reason, logic, intellectual honesty and even common sense itself has been altogether thrust aside, in favor of embracing and enforcing an ever growing cascade of delusional theory and dogma in their place.
In short, we now find ourselves living in a society being wholly supported and implemented by a system comprised of people who have lost their ever-loving minds!
As his relevance is waning, Ta-Nehisi Coates is an obvious fraud and just another narcissist. He brings attention with tired race hustling tropes, he's just another propagandist. He does not deserve any agency.
Funny how all you “heterodox” thinkers happen to fall in line with the military industrial complex and elite wings of both major political parties on this one.
Wait til you learn that "the occupation" refers to all of Israel and its 10M citizens, and that the "resistance" will be bloody.
Even if what you say is true -- and I don't agree -- why is the US playing both sides of the Iran/Israel war?
The US could more easily draw down from the Middle East to focus on Asia by simply selling Israel weapons and letting it defend itself. The Abraham Accords were starting to build an alliance of Israel and stable Gulf states that could oppose Iranian hegemony.
Instead the Biden admin pressures and contains Israel while funding UNRWA (Hamas collaborators), UNIFIL (Hezbollah collaborators), the Lebanese army (useless), Qatar (Iran's money launderer), Iran (lifting sanctions and releasing tens of billions of dollars to the mullahs), and removing the IRGC and the Houthis from the terror list.

Thou Shalt Not Criticize a POC is the First Commandment of the Social Justice faith.
And Social Justice is the sacred belief system of our elite liberal classes throughout the West, with the MSM their Vatican.
Noah and Coates are both grossly ignorant of history and are grifters who play the race card because nothing sells for them
