The New Generation of Palestinian Solidarity is More Impressive Than It Realizes – CounterPunch.org

Israel is desperate to “Kill the Children” their Education and their Culture. Ethnic Cleansing is an Israeli Zionist necessity.

Dialectics are at work, and all the desperate attempts to stop the passage of time into truth will fail. All we need is our integrity.

Stay strong. Keep your vision. From the River to the Sea – PALESTINE is getting so very close to free. The US has basically abdicated it’s global leading role to defend this racist state. It has finished off the impotent UN, with all of the massive danger that this represents, a no-longer unipolar order soon will no longer contain a Jewish supremacist state.

Higher Education Cannot Train a New Generation Without the Humanities | The Smirking Chimp

 With no history, no sociological analysis, no works of art as ‘touchstones,’ a newly educated populace will offer little or no resistance to those who want to obliterate the ‘vermin’ who oppose ruling elites and their values. Who, then, will raise questions about who we are and where we are headed?

Ocasio-Cortez’s critics babble and bluster … but can’t ignore her | Arwa Mahdawi | World news | The Guardian

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez: ‘I guess WSJ Editorial Page takes pride in their ignorance of our nation’s history of slavery, Jim Crow, & mass incarceration; willful doubt on the decades of science on climate change; targeting of indigenous peoples, and the classist, punitive agenda targeting working families.’

Ocasio-Cortez hit the bigoted nail on the head with that. After all, what Turner was essentially saying in her op-ed was that minorities should respect a system that doesn’t respect them. That Ocasio-Cortez, who “doesn’t come from a rich and powerful family”, doesn’t have an Ivy League education, and has Puerto Rican heritage, should be grateful she is allowed to exist in America, let alone succeed. And that AOC certainly shouldn’t mess with the laws of nature and history that mean rich white men, and a few rich white women, are our leaders and superiors. Turner, and conservatives like her, are terrified by Ocasio-Cortez because she symbolizes a new generation who aren’t going to shut up and be grateful, but are intent on changing an unequal system.
