Ross Douthat, in a column he wrote to try to get the right to distance themselves from Fuentes-style antisemitism, made the point that left-wing critics have always made: you can criticize Israel without being antisemitic.

It might be tempting to temper Trumpist Christian nationalism with moderation, but the moment calls for prophecy, not prosaicism. jonnyrashid.substack.com/p/boring-pol...

Since October 11, the first full day of the ceasefire, Israel has killed at least 87 Palestinians in Gaza and wounded 311, while 432 bodies have been recovered from under the rubble, according to the Gaza Ministry of Health. jonnyrashid.substack.com/p/a-ceasefir...
A ceasefire does not mean we should end our advocacy
The genocide in Gaza drew the eyes of the world; a ceasefire should not cause us to avert them.

Ross Douthat is correct that Trump's biggest vulnerability for turning the U.S. completely into a fascist state is that he won't be in power for long enough and he isn't popular enough. The New York Times allowed Ross to make a case for three terms for Trump and to offer a blueprint for fascism.

I'm not saying Hamas should be governing Gaza, but it's ridiculous to draft a ceasefire plan that requires them to be removed from governance. They are a negotiating party. No one would take that deal. The plan is just a way to further the genocide.

Liberals who lament the death of Charlie Kirk with the same words they do for lynchings are merely offering their shallow condolences. They lack any political or power analysis that might affect structural oppression because the status quo benefits them.

Surprisingly, I appreciate Ross Douthat's exhortation, but he fails to see that the things that divide us are not merely political. We have moved into existential territory, which needs a genuine response, not just less intensity. People's lives are at stake.

Why is it that when police kill an unarmed Black person, the media tells us all about that person's rap sheet, but when Charlie Kirk dies, the same press sanitizes him? Answer: white supremacy.
