    this is just typical "international realism" bs. fascists are not ideologically coherent actors and nation-states do not act in a perfectly rational manner, they are compelled by the laws of inter-imperialist competition. furthermore, it has been understood forever that imperialists are split on the existence of israel, with one faction believing a zionist entity is the most efficient vehicle for furthering the US military's strategic goals for the middle east and another seeing the existence of Israel as a fetter on the creation of efficiant gulf neocolonies and the free flow of finance capital to the region.

    there is no one unified "imperialist" position on Israel, to believe that would be abandoning Leninism for Kautskyite "superimperialist" nonsense.

    Well yes im using realism because my point is the israel lobby is causing us to act in an irrational way. Which is the whole reason as to why there needs to be a lobby in the first place. This is the same case for the iraq war which the lobby clearly supported.
    As for your second point, obviously the latter is true because theres way more evidence than for the former. What has israel done except for creating more and more groups like hezbollah and hamas and preventing normalization among the gulf countries

    Actually pretty disappointed that sab and other mods have been letting it go on for so long. At this point Snowboy is a well known weirdo who starts beef with everybody across the forum.

    @sab You just gonna continue letting em rock my guy?

    imperialism is not "rational" and nation-states do not act as rational actors, they are compelled by the laws of inter-imperialist competition. the only rational system of human organization is socialism which has its own motivators separate from the imperialist system.

    I feel like I'm just repeating myself at this point so I would recommend reading Imperialism by Lenin and Ilan Pappe's work on the history of zionism at the very least so that this conversation could be slightly more constructive.

    The goal of zionists to establish a settler colonial state in the Palestine, and the US outpost for the Middle East are aligned

    The difference lays in the fact that Israel is still undergoing its settler colonial process while not facing the same contradictions that its imperialist allies did

    You are ignoring your own words, American Zionists. It’s not surprise Isrsel’s roots lie heavily in European zionists as well who could fit within the classification of “white”. America prefers a white ally in the region that’s share the same bullshit liberal values

    Iran, Saudis Arabia, UAE, they will gladly do business with them but they can’t motivate evangelicals or really have the same ideological push that Isrsel does at its core which is white supremacy

    Yall keep making this out to be more confusing than it is

    Crimes that would never be committed if we didn't support them in the first place. And at this point most ppl understand what israel does is usually with our backing and support

    I disagree

    Israel and Zionism may have needed western capitalist backing to continue their actions, but they’d find other ways to enforce their ideological goals on their own

    "geopolitics" is still unfortunately the framework people use to understand these things rather than global market forces

    What Pappe book would you recommend

  • Sep 29, 2024
    Sir Real

    What Pappe book would you recommend

    I read Ten Myths About Israel and really enjoyed it. I know The Idea of Israel is also one people cite a lot.

    he actually just published a book this year on the topic of the "israeli lobby" but I dont know much about it, im sure its probably decent tho.

    So telling people you wish death on their mothers and randomly accusing people of being rapists for not agreeing with the words you put into their mouth is "doing it right" to you...

    he also has a book he coauthored with Chomsky but the older I get the more I realize Chomsky's "best" work was merely him acting as a parasite on the actual brilliant thought of marxist researchers like Pappé and Edward Herman.

    Sab is also a horrible mod who bans people for completely trivial reasons or even friend favours while letting obvious alts and weirdo’s like this Snowboy figure spew as much bullshit as they like

    Bro. I clearly don't give a damn about them. I'm speaking from my experience, and many other's, dealing with that weirdo in this sxn and in music sxn. They're a terrible f***in poster who continues to instigate s*** with people cause they be acting like some teenage s***poster.

    Do your f***in job as a mod and quit caping for them. The f*** is wrong with you? I know you're better than this
