Agree with you. Solution – Indian Govt. directly or preferably indirectly ( Chinese model) extend huge funding in American an western universities chair or Research into woke narratives ( Eg organisations lime Infinity Foundation run by Rajiv Merhotra) to call the bluff. This will also bring in “ loyal” army of opinion makers.
First time I disagree with the erudite Jerry Rao.
Notwithstanding the correct observations about Marxists and Leftists in India, I don’t think that can excuse the Israeli state go scot-free about its responsibilities and actions that it has pursued against the Palestinians.
A punishment massacre against innocent civilians has certainly eroded any little Moral capital that Israel had. There are many dark parallels with what the Raj did in India whether you like it or not.
My guy forgot how Israel was carved out of the Palestinian state just cause some zionists helped Britain fund the 1st world war offensive .
Sure Israel is totally legitimate ,
Without getting into ideology or conflicting narratives, Israel has created an unparalleled humanitarian disaster in Gaza. Killed, wounded, displaced so many people. Very difficult now to imagine a peaceful, prosperous region as contemplated by the Abraham Accords or IMEC. A lot of moral opprobrium will attach to the United States and Europe.
This is objectively a bad piece, and subjectively a hilarious take on what crackpots sound like when they talk about the insidious “Left”.
“Words like ‘settler’, ‘colonialist’, ‘white supremacist’, and ‘apartheid state’ started being bandied about. Despite being blatantly false, these words gained currency simply by the use of Goebbelsian repetition tactics.”
The sentences above, in my opinion, serve as self-selection filters for this article’s readers. Anyone with an iota of a brain will register this as idiotic and anyone who doesn’t will move past and simply absorb the rest of the piece as fact.
What a fucking joke of an articles is this shit, has The print started to accept pathetic israeli apologists on its platform.SHIT, this is concerning for print ,which sells itself as centrist. To deny an apartheid regime existing which is far more brutal than the south african Apartheid and ‘the print’ letting it print on its platform this volly of useless word salad. India was under a brutal colonial regime to deny where it is happening is the peak bankruptness of morals. Seems print has started to acept propaganda articles now
They just reaffirm that “we are like that only”.
It would appear that we can hide under this oft repeated saying and excuse mob criminality. Mob justice has no place in a progressive democracy and we cannot brush these brutal acts under the line “we are like this only”.
That is a terrible position to adopt – it exonerates everyone from having to do better!
