The West’s support of Israel’s ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people tells you everything you need to know about “Western values”.
Western values are dollars, euros, and cents.
The next time some white person from Europe or the US preaches to you about their values, laugh in their faces. Loudly. Make sure everyone around you hears what a sick joke they are.

Illumination in dark times
A genealogy of modern Western selfhood and a post-Western world"Smith ... outlines a genealogy of modern Western selfhood: a radically individual, hypermasculine character that was formed during the rapid nineteenth-century expansion of the white man’s world. “Bold, conquering, and altogether assertive,” it was “dedicated to action,” hostile to reflection, indifferent to community and the environment, and guilty of possessing, Smith writes, an “undeveloped heart,” a term borrowed from E. M. Forster’s assessment of the British elite." "
" “We must alter our very relations with the world around us.” This means giving up the exalted and exaggerated idea of the West that boosts a masculinist self-image but severely constricts thought and feeling. “We should welcome our era’s uncertainties,...the not-knowing of how the post-Western story will come out.” Smith’s final warning—that “we will not survive the Western notion of the individual much longer”—should resonate today, as nineteenth-century individualism reasserts itself in the degraded Nietzscheanism of Peter Thiel and Stephen Miller." >>

CW: "New antisemitism" 🧵
In 1967, the State of Israel attacked Egypt. Already, it was referred to as a ‘pre-emptive strike’. Since then, the Jewish State has occupied Sinai, the Golan Heights, the West Bank, East Jerusalem and Gaza. (see map)
For three centuries, this war has been the only one to bear the name of its duration: the ‘Six-Day War’, a name that glorifies the military impact (of the Zionist Sparta).
In 1968, several French intellectuals drew a link between the Six-Day War, anti-Zionism and anti-Semitism.
The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) is an organisation that supports the Israeli government and fights against diversity. In 1974, Arnold Forster and Benjamin Epstein of the ADL published a book entitled ‘The New anti-Semitism’, expressing their concerns about :
- an indifference to the fears of ‘the Jewish people’,
- apathy in dealing with prejudice against Jews,
- an inability to understand the importance of Israel for the survival of the ‘Jewish people’ (in their view).
Hence controversy in the United States (among professionals in public debate).
Later, Allan Brownfeld wrote that Forster and Epstein's definition of anti-Semitism trivialised the concept by turning it into ‘a form of political blackmail’ and ‘a weapon to silence any form of criticism of Israel or of US policy in the Middle East’ (in ‘Anti-Semitism: Its Changing Meaning’, Journal of Palestine Studies, vol. 16, no 3 (Spring, 1987), pp. 53-67).#IsraelArabConflict #SixDayWar #history #historyOfThought #proZionism #civilization #clashOfCivilizations #TheWest #imperialism #instrumentalisation #confusion #amalgam #antisemitism #newAntisemitism #MiddleEast #StandWithIsrael #islamophobia
