"My inescapable conclusion has become that Israel is committing genocide against the Palestinian people. Having grown up in a Zionist home, lived the first half of my life in Israel, served in the I.D.F. as a soldier and officer and spent most of my career researching and writing on war crimes and the Holocaust, this was a painful conclusion to reach, and one that I resisted as long as I could. But I have been teaching classes on genocide for a quarter of a century. I can recognize one when I see one."

@cxiao a pox on the Bible. There is so much that is obscene and immoral in it. Also, “Those who can be convinced of absurdities can be convinced to commit atrocities.” (Paraphrasing the quote)

Far too little too late coming from the NYT. We're entering the phase where everyone is trying to lay the groundwork for the claim that they were always against this. Fuck humanity, I'm glad the earth will boil us alive.
