Official Germany's position on Palestine: a profoundly immoral morality play that claims to atone for the horror of German antisemitism by embracing colonial Zionism at the ongoing expense of Palestinians. Then silences Palestinians/allies for pointing out this hypocrisy.

For his notorious anti-Palestinian racism and Islamophobia, Benny Morris will be remembered the same way that historians of previous generations who scoffed at native peoples, dismissed their history, justified colonialism, apartheid and racial segregation are today seen by…

To think that Benny Morris was once respected as a serious historian. His racism is as anachronistic as the colonial violence he so ardently espouses.

Haters can't even get their facts right. I am not a 'so-called Islamic Professor' whatever that means. No attempt to argue intellectually or ethically. Just more racism.

This is exactly how Biden's unconditional support for Israel will drag America into yet another Middle East war. Israel is doing its best to goad Iran into retaliating for Israeli provocations, believing that this would draw the US into fighting Israel's battles
