"I argue that #antiZionism, like #socialism within the American Jewish world, arose autochthonously out of the desire of mostly working- and middle-class Jews to create a world that was far more egalitarian and also less racist and less antisemitic."

"To counter this insidious attempt at #Nakba memoricide by U.S. politicians and others, it is instructive to review the archives of U.S. diplomats stationed in #Palestine and surrounding Arab countries who witnessed the Nakba unfold and reported back to the #StateDepartment on the magnitude and gravity of #Israel’s dispossession of Palestine’s indigenous inhabitants." - #JoshRuebner

"Jiryis is a scholar; he witnessed the start of the Nakba and its consequences, and is not writing for those who won’t listen. If the anomalists appease the colonizer as they demean the colonized, Jiryis faces the colonized as he dissects the colonizer."
