Anyone who’s unambiguously well right now is either (a) a terrible, terrible person or (b) living in a shack, deep in the woods. But I’m alright. : )

Where’d you go? No more Sisyphean Jezebel arguments for you...?

I’m having a stretch of work where I need to not indulge my Jezebelling desires right now, but I didn’t want to fail to reply to your reply to my reply to your reply to my reply to... Zio-bots. So: I’ll check out the link and will try to be a conscientious reader of whatever I find there.

I appreciate your thoughtful reply. Appreciate it even more when scanning through the later comments where (if I’m reading right) you’ve got Locomotive Jones calling you a “piece of shit” and Bullterrierterror saying “Fuck this cunt and you” (as a leadin to that bizarre pumpkin-pie metaphor. Huh?). I don’t know why

It’s just that there aren’t any Zio-bots - or if there are, I think you’re being too easy on yourself in applying the label to anyone on the other side of this issue. I went and looked at your profile and some of your past comments - just wondering where you’re coming from. It’s so easy to get into debates on these

This was an incredible article, I’ve only recently learned of Ms. Odeh, but throughout the article, I couldn’t help thinking about Assata Shakur—I was pleasantly surprised to see the author make that connection at the end of the article.

Can you please not call us Zio-bots?

Just did, a few hours back.

for real. zionist aren’t heroes.

It’s strange that she has such a lofty opinion of Hillary Clinton, given that Clinton is a warhawk who has enthusiastically supported every war and intervention in the region and who is, furthermore, already sucking up to Netanyahu well before she is even President elect.

Yeah, totally understand. The terms are sometimes used interchangeably, but in this case Israeli-Palestinian would have been better phrasing - it’s been changed!

I like the interview but I’d like to object to the term “Israeli-Arab”, which erases our identities as Palestinians. She says Israeli-Palestinian, which is great, but you said Israeli-Arab in your question so I just thought I’d point that out, hopefully in a way that doesn’t devolve into an internet comment war about

It’s actually decidedly North Korean, Dear Leader Trump.

I don’t give two shits about whether or not Trump is serious. It’s more terrifying to see a large number of American voters saying “that’s a good idea!” It appears that many Americans, my parents included, support literal fascism.
