‘Whenever you read a book or an article and it uses the phrase “settler-colonialist,” you are dealing with ideological polemic, not history.’

Fascinating article by ⁦S Sebag Montefiore⁩ theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…

World-class historian S Sebag Montefiore⁩ questions why many leftist intellectuals supported Stalin, and aristocratic sympathizers and peace activists excused Hitler. And explains why today’s Hamas apologists belong to the same tradition: archive.ph/2023.10.28-061…

S Sebag Montefiore I have learned so much from your books.

Please go on TV and we'll watched podcasts to help teach people more than simple buzzwords in a highly complex story

S Sebag Montefiore For those who don’t read the whole, brilliant article, here is one quote : ‘Ultimately, this zombie narrative is a moral and political cul-de-sac that leads to slaughter and stalemate. That is no surprise, because it is based on sham history’

“The denial of Hamas’s atrocities by so many in the West is an attempt to fashion acceptable heroes out of an organization that dismembers babies and defiles the bodies of murdered girls.”

Must-read piece from S Sebag Montefiore.

Fine piece by S Sebag Montefiore, a heavyweight historian, refuting the notion that the Jewish state is a colonial enterprise - a voguish fallacy that has “dehumanized Israelis to the extent that otherwise rational people excuse, deny, or support barbarity”. theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…

The Atlantic S Sebag Montefiore Thank you for writing this. Superlative. I'm distributing it far and wide. As someone said on here, I wish I could memorise it word for word.
