The West is projecting its postcolonial guilt onto Israel, and the far-left brings this logic further by calling for the destruction of Israel, supporting Hamas and rehashing Soviet propaganda. Coates belongs to the latest category.
Unlike White leftists he is not projecting his guilt onto Israel, but he transposes the sins of White supremacy onto this country.
That’s funny, as until the middle of the 20th century, Jews were persecuted (and exterminated) as they were considered to be "non-Whites". They were called Semites/Orientals/ Asians. Jews were ultimately forced to settle in Palestine. A few decades later only (it began in the late 1960s), the descendants of these Jews who were kicked out of Europe because they were deemed not white enough, had been reinvented into the embodiment of White supremacy!
It just proves one thing: Jews remain the scapegoats of the West (and Coates’ knee jerk far-left posturing is typical of Western radical leftism)!
Coates is nothing but a racist fool. His entire way of thinking is wholly dependent upon a contrived narrative of victimhood. He cannot give an inch lest the house of cards come tumbling down. He is a distinctly unimportant thinker, who will be irrelevant 10 years from now.
I read many books on these topics, eg Christopher Simpson, John Loftus, currently reading one by Rochelle Saidel. The jist is that the US Department of State is ratlined-nazi territory, full of third reich rescuers and sympathizers. Full of people (now disciples) that engaged in money laundering and financial sponsorship of the 3rd Reich.
Great men such as Charles R. Allen that worked *against* this were typically called 'communists', whether they were communists or not. And there were leaders of organizations that worked against this that *were* openly communist. And of course the US government made HUGE efforts in the 50s and 60s to root out communism wherever it existed, but no such effort was made to root out the nazi rot in the US government, whereby men that had lead pogroms against Jews in Latvia, Lithuania, Belarus and elsewhere were welcomed to the US--all while this government that welcomed them taught the rest of us that 'communism' was the danger to us.
But this feeds into my current point: West and Marc Lamont Hill are not dumb or deceived. They are on the take from our nazi establishment. The Israel issue is the easiest to see who will compromise their integrity to get paid, to be featured in US media as a 'left wing freedom fighter'. But this is not any Soviet plot against us. It is a plot and policy of our own leaders.
I feel like Coates has the need to see every conflict as a foreign domination/ liberation narrative. So he ignores or reinterprets whatever facts don't fit, then pegs one side of every struggle as an evil oppressor and the other as a victim in need of liberation in order to have something to continuously fight for.
You are such a breathe of fresh air. Strange that now that the BD in BDS have failed to Biden admin is sanctioning Israeli citizens. One woman simply protested supplying Gazans with food and medicines while her son is risking his life in the very same place! She cannot access her bank account nor can her husband.
There's a much larger market for books by Black intellectuals that oppose Zionism than the opposite. A pro-Israel book by a Black intellectual is a tough sell. Intellectuals have to eat, too. Dig?

Great read. Thank you

The same Islamofascists who throw gay people off buildings still sell slaves from sub-Saharan Africa in open markets in Libya.
C’mon people….use your brains. These guys are not your friends. Seriously, WTF…
If you’re a Commie, say you’re a Commie. But this kind of crap is not progress.

Oh wait, new look, blame the Jews. Bringing attention to himself for all the wrong reasons. Grifter.

We need more voices of sanity like yours.
Let him go there and see how long he lasts
How drearily unsurprising.
Great article Sir, thank you for your work.
