When you say “Genocide bad,” Zionists will counter, “But Hamas .” “But Hamas” comments try to derail you from talking about Israeli violence by asking you to first address the violence of the Palestinian resistance. Comments might sound like, “Do you condemn Hamas?” or “But Hamas started this!” They may share facts, such as, “Hamas abducted children,” lies such as, “Hamas beheaded babies,” or—trickiest of all—partial truths, like, “Hamas calls for a genocide of Jews in its charter.”

Chris Hedges: Don’t Be Fooled By The Cancel Culture Wars
Chris Hedges: Don’t Be Fooled By The Cancel Culture Wars
The cancel culture — the phenomenon of removing or canceling people, brands or shows from the public domain because of offensive statements or ideologies — is not a threat to the ruling class. Hundreds of corporations, nearly all in the hands of white executives and white board members, enthusiastically pumped out messages on social media condemning racism and demanding justice after George Floyd was choked to death by police in Minneapolis. Police, which along with the prison system are one of the primary instruments of social control over the poor, have taken the knee, along with Jamie Dimon, the chief executive of the serially criminal JPMorgan Chase, where only 4 percent of the top executives are Black. Jeff Bezos, the richest man in the world whose corporation, Amazon, paid no federal income taxes last year and who fires workers that attempt to unionize and tracks warehouse laborers as if they were prisoners, put a “Black Lives Matter” banner on Amazon’s home page.
