The Intervention
Palestine, Zionism, and Empire Article Series: Judeo-Nazis and "Liberal" Tears
Dec 12, 2023 Episode 78

We take a minute to work through two articles in depth which speak to structural rot at the basis of the Israeli liberal establishment. The first by Jonathan Ofir argues the depravity at the basis of the genocide of Palestinians is proof of a state death cult. The second, by Nir Hasson & Liza Rozovsky represents the decadence of the liberal position as it condemns the "excesses" of individual actors to justify the actions of state. In both, the genocidal logic of Zionism is laid bare but while one comes to grip with the ideology at its base the other makes excuse after excuse. Love me, I'm a liberal.

Articles:
"I Used to Think the Term ’Judeo-Nazis’ was Excessive. I Don’t any Longer" by Jonathan Ofir in Mondoweiss
"Hamas Committed Documented Atrocities. But a Few False Stories Feed the Deniers" by  Nir Hasson & Liza Rozovsky in Ha'aretz
"‘It Would’ve Been Better if They Shot Us’: Palestinians Recount Prison Abuse" by Imad Abu Hawash in +972 Magazine
"Nearly 500,000 Fled Israel Since 7 October" by The Cradle News Room
"Israeli Security Establishment: Hamas Likely Didn’t Have Advance Knowledge of Nova Festival" by Josh Breiner in Ha'aretz
