Where are the anti-racists now? Pt 2: Genocide denialism as racism
<p>The de facto position for anti-racist liberals is to argue that the situation in Israel/Palestine is <em>complex</em>. One cannot come to a conclusion about the situation that puts blame squarely on one side or another, because, as I’ve heard directly, even though Israel does bad things too, Hamas is Evil with a capital Beheaded Baby’s Evil Eye. This indecisiveness is due largely to the idea that the settler colony of the United States is a redeemable project, even as a force of good in the world. But understanding Israel’s genocidal actions and intent against its Indigenous population and the US’s full-throttled support of Israel’s aggression against Palestinians will allow us to look deeper into America’s (and Canada’s, etc.) ongoing genocide against its Indigenous and indeed Black peoples.</p>
