Zionism Wasn't Always Racist. The Trouble Began When Russians Took Over
An interesting article challenges conventional narratives surrounding Israeli political culture, positing that its emphasis on force and expansionism is significantly rooted in the brutal political landscape of late Imperial Russia.
Examining the impact of the Second "Aliyah" (colonial expedition) and the subsequent dominance of Russian-Jewish political ideologies within the Zionist movement, the author argues for a reassessment of historical influences beyond typical analyses of religious messianism or colonial models.
The piece contends that a critical examination of this largely unacknowledged Russian inheritance is crucial for understanding contemporary Israeli policy and for envisioning alternative trajectories.

@OklaBot Holy shit, I just realized as a result of anthropogenic climate change, we are quite literally seeing a repeat of the Dust Bowl from the last century. I read about this in textbooks, yet something that should have remained ancient history is now seemingly coming back from the "historical dead" so to speak. #oklahoma #dustbowl #dustbowlfarmer #dustbowlmigrants #historyrepeats #historyrepeatingitself #historyrhymes #historicalstruggleforeducation #historicallessons #historicalanalysis
