The mask of “liberal democracy” falls with a bang
18 minutes readPEPE ESCOBAR—Palestinians in East Jerusalem don’t have Israeli nationality. Most have Jordanian passports. Yet now even Palestinians with Israeli nationality are rebelling – in most cases in very poor towns in the center of the country. Young generations simply have no reason to believe they belong in Israel.
As for Israeli secular leftists, they have been “neutralized” and carry no political power, as they were incapable of integrating the working masses, which in turn were completely captured by hardcore religious extremists.

KATIE HALPER—Andrew Yang’s recent dehumanizing and pandering statements (https://twitter.com/kthalps/status/13…) in support of Israel as it engages in ethnic cleansing have rightfully earned him criticism. But, as Abby Martin already pointed out, Yang has a history of awful statements on the Boycott Divest Sanction (BDS) movement, in particular, which he misrepresents and equates with Anti-Semitism. In this clip, Abby mentions her amazing documentary, Gaza Fights For Freedom and predicts that it will be taken down by YouTube. While that hasn’t happened yet, it is certainly being suppressed.

METALLIC MAN—Chinese haven’t even gotten all that much from America.
Sure, some Chinese studied in America, including in STEM, before 1949. People like Qian Xuesen. Also humanities people like Hu Shih and Soong Mei-ling (Chiang’s wife) and Hsiang-Hsi Kung.That class of humanities graduated people from Ivy League who entered higher echelons of KMT eventually lost the war and fled to Taiwan or America.
Also, for STEM, Europe was much better (to learn from and be educated in) than America especially in the early 1900s.
Chinese students would have benefited much more from studying STEM in Europe at that time. Unfortunately, it was the situation that arose after the suppression of the Boxer Uprising in 1900 (by Eight-Nation Alliance) that resulted in the Chinese studying in America over studying in Europe. Modern China, especially the practical aspect of it, was far more influenced by USSR and Japan.
