"Everyone compares Trump to Benjamin Netanyahu, and indeed there are many similarities, but no one compares the Democrats in the United States to the center-left in @israel."

"In the United States and in Israel, the liberals evoke sympathy, and are terrifyingly hollow.
"In the United States and in Israel liberals supposedly oppose the war in Gaza, and their opposition is a story of ideological emptiness and moral failure, hypocrisy, and sanctimony."

"Harris lost not only on account of Gaza, but the Democratic administration's conduct on the war certainly didn't help her at the polls."

"Voters do not like trickery and pretense."

"Peace cannot come from inside Israel because the vast majority of Israelis (and Zionists around the world) know a parallel history, one that erases the Nakba, apartheid, and a litany of injustices against Palestinians."

"We’re debating […] dead moral questions, and for the same reason we always do: because that debate allows us to ignore the ones that might lead us to a different place than the celebration of our own liberal righteousness."

Sorry for avoiding indicating that it was a citation from Matt at Vashti. I just corrected my error above.

Vashti "aims to pursue an ongoing inquiry into what it means to be a Jewish leftist".

Here is a piece by Jacob Engelberg: "Can film unteach Hasbara?" https://vashtimedia.com/2020/11/19/issues/review/can-film-unteach-hasbara/

"Alexandrowicz’s perhaps quixotic hope that images of the occupation might force ardent supporters of the Israeli state to question their ideological positions is dashed by Maia."
