WIST Quotations has moved!

A quotation from Dante Alighieri:

«
Men should not be too smug in their own reason;
only a foolish man will walk his field
and count his ears too early in the season;
for I have seen a briar through winter’s snows
rattle its tough and menacing bare stems,
and then, in season, open its pale rose…

Why Kamala #Harris’ #biracial identity upsets Donald #Trump so much -

There is a multitude of #problems with Trump’s comments, from his #presumption that he has the expertise and jurisdiction to #judge someone else’s #identity to his argument that Harris lacks the #racialbonafides to merit the #Blackaudience members’ allegiance. But the former president’s #ramble offers another important conclusion: Trump simply doesn’t understand #race.

The "Costs of War" project, based at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island, estimates that the total death toll in post-9/11 wars – including Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, Syria and Yemen – could be at least 4.5-4.7 million:

Blair is one of the Western leaders who shares complicity for this appalling death toll: mondediplo.com/2003/07/01ramon

On , , :
"For Jewish Zionists, the shock induced by Hamas’ breakout and attack is compounded by a sense of rage and indignation that Palestinian fighters momentarily turned the tables, piercing through Israel’s years of military siege and occupation. This [is] “the loss of the prerogative, only and always, to be the one who transgresses the sovereign boundaries of other states, but never to be in the position of having one’s own boundaries transgressed” — arguably explains why Israelis were so quick to describe Hamas’ attack as Israel’s 9/11. It explains why the reflexive response, like the U.S. after 9/11, was to exact revenge not only for the Israelis killed or held hostage but for the colonized and the occupied to dare to fight back against the oppression; to dare to transgress the besieged boundaries of Gaza and claim freedom and life."

Mondoweiss · On Zionist feelingsThe feelings and fragility of Zionists are used as a rhetorical shield to deflect from the reality of Palestinian genocide. I refuse to provide reassurances to placate and soothe Zionist political anxieties.
