lmfao I didn’t even know that half of it
In their perception, Britain turned against the Zionists around 1939 or so (White paper) and sided with the Arabs in opposing a Jewish state after that. So they mean “Independence” as independence from Britain.

Thanks everyone for the responses. I’ve learned a lot, and I’m sorry for any offense I caused.
Thank you for this response, and for your other ones in this thread as well.
This passage in particular really gave me some needed perspective:
There are no “uncontacted tribes”, everyone has been in touch with their neighbors the whole time, for as long as there have been humans. Every part of the world, except Antarctica and a very small number of islands, has been inhabited by humans a very long time, with Polynesia being one of the last places humans arrived at a few thousand years ago. Humans have been in NA for at least 30,000 years, Australia for at least 40k but probably longer, in Europe for at least 50k. Even the famous North Sentinelese have had more and less contact with their neighbors over prior centuries. Their current closed borders are a modern policy decision made by a modern people choosing how to interact with other people in the modern world.
(Although I didn’t mention them directly, the Sentinelese definitely were one of the things I had lingering in my mind when I posted my OP, so I’m glad you said something about them)
thanks for the book recs, they’re on my list now.
I didn’t know that, but that is interesting
this was clarifying, thanks

I’m not sure I get what you’re objecting to. Do you disagree with the assertion that Palestinians are not a monolith? Do you think it’s more accurate to say they are a monolith?

I worked at a giant News Media conglomerate in 2014-16. I can say with absolute certainty that the Bernie ratfucking was an actual conspiracy from things I heard from producers and on air reporters off camera. They also very much enjoyed Trump for the ratings.
You should write something long-form about this. I’d be interested in it.
One memory that sticks out to me is, I was reading some comment thread about like unemployment or something, and somebody wrote a comment that was something like the following:
“Republicans dream of a country where everyone is their own small business owner, but that’s literally impossible to achieve because then there wouldn’t be any workers. Capitalism needs workers.”
Suddenly a lot of things about the economy started to make more sense. I became a socialist not long after that.
I think it was an r/politics thread, strangely enough

Yeah I’ve been having similar thoughts.
2014-2020 or so was a period of significant ideological change & realignment in the US in a number of ways, but now things have kind of reached a new equilibrium, so the current ideological terrain is probably what we’re going to have for a while. I think this is mostly because the internet & social media reached maximum penetration around 2014, and the 2014-2020 period was just the US’s ideological terrain adjusting to that step change.
(Admittedly, I also might be biased because 2014-2020 is also basically the period when I was 18-25 years old, so of course it seemed to me like a lot of things were in flux)
