As noted by Phil Weiss himself at Mondoweiss, The Nation has published new odiousness by Alexis Grenell, who invoked "goysplaning" not quite two years in relation to similar dreck, as blogged here.
Actually, I called the previous a "screed," vs. "dreck."
No, let's call this one what it is, per the header.
Hasbara. 190 proof.
Anything Hamas did before, during or after Oct. 7, or alleged to have done, comes under Grenell's microscope.
NOTHING either the government of Israel or the IDF did that provoked Oct. 7, nor anything it did afterward, gets a word of mention. But it does strawman on the word and idea of a ceasefire and more.
Meanwhile, Grenell's attacks on the DSA Roseys two years ago as part of that earlier piece I blogged about? I am minded of Harold Meyerson and others dropping out of the DSA a month ago. Though a non-duopolist myself, I still say good riddance to them.
As I tell it regularly on Twitter and in email, for supporting the duopoly, the same applies to The Nation here.
Fuck off collectively, as well as fuck off Grenell.
