For some reason, found it appropriate to warn viewers of of the antisemitic text “The Protocols of the Elders of Zion” below the full video interview with about the Jewish Bund.

The fact that anti-Zionism – even when expressed by proud Jewish artists, writers and historians – is interpreted as antisemitism is extremely problematic. Perhaps especially when it is an algorithm that does so.

Anti-Zionism is not antisemitism! To suggest that is antisemitic in and of itself!!!

Anyway, here’s a plug to watch the full episode of Kalam Podcast and Molly Crabapple on YouTube if you haven’t already!

Following the AIDS epidemic, Apollo began to notice in the early 00’s that g**s were gaining mainstream acceptance in the West. But it was a very specific kind of gay person, one who was straight passing and socially normative – someone who might even support the Iraq War and go on vacation to Israel.

As he began to study and understand Zionism, Apollo noticed a striking similarity between the language of Homonationalism and Muscular Judaism. Listen to the latest episode of and come on this theoretical journey with us.

KALAM DIGEST EPISODE 46 OUT NOW ON ALL PLATFORMS ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

The world economy is tanking due to Trump and Netanyahu’s war of aggression in Iran.

The Israelis killed Iran’s top security man, Ali Larijani. His legacy includes most recently orchestrating the deadly crackdown on protestors, successfully mediating with western leaders and writing no less than three volumes on the philosophy of Immanuel Kant.
