he comes from a southern baptist tradition so he's long-winded and does a lot of repetition for effect but he's also done good work on tv as brainwashing and as proto-metaverse
So you're saying that it's cool for the Palestinian people to get blockaded for a decade, because Hamas? It's ok to bomb a refugee camp to get one guy?
Did you know that Israel openly funded Hamas to have a reason to blame?
I'm not condoning Hamas, but come on, look at the balance of power.
Norman Finklestein and Max Blumenthal have reported on the mess of Gaza and the west Bank for decades, way before Hamas.
I don't know how many more ways I can say it. In my essays I have gone into detail describing the responsibility the United States government and Netanyahu's government has to take for this horrific mess. I am working on a piece Harsh Facts: From the River to the Sea, which will no doubt make more people angry who disagree with me. Anyone who wants the total destruction of Israel will disagree with my position and I will disagree with theirs. I support the right of Israel to exist. That doesn't mean I agree with the government. That's a ridiculous assumption. I support the right for the United States to exist. That doesn't mean I agree with the government. I do not agree with Norman Finklestein or Max Blumenthal, they are all for the destruction of Israel, paint Zionists as evil (and sure, there is an extremist element, as there is in everything, but that is not what Zionism is about--which is to have a state of Israel exist--the meaning has been twisted for the benefit of those who wish to destroy Israel, there are maybe 15 million Jews in the world and almost 2 billion Muslims and they have taken over the narrative). Read my essay World at War https://khmezek.substack.com/p/world-at-war in which I go into the responsibility the US has for the rise in terrorism going back to 9/11. But again, it seems that those who disagree with me because I support Israel's right to exist will not see anything else I have written regarding the nuance to the situation, they will only see that one fact, that I dare to support Israel. If you want to argue that the Israeli government is corrupt and therefore Israel should not exist, then you should do the same for every government and perhaps focus more on the government of the country in which you live, not a country halfway around the world that is surrounded by enemies that have persistently vowed to kill every Jew on the planet. Bring down your own government first, then turn your attention to someone else's. I've stated over and over the responsibility the US has in wars and deaths around the world. I mean, consistently, over and over, this is a theme in my essays. Supporting the end of Israel is the same as supporting the total extermination of the Jews. Is that what you support? Because that is what would happen. We can already see the antisemitism that is being unleashed towards Jews around the world, as if a floodgate has been opened and people can now express what they really have felt all along. If you support that, then carry on listening to people like Finklestein and Blumenthal, I cannot speculate about their motivations or what goes on in their heads as to why they take the positions that they do.
I'm not supporting the destruction of Israel and neither are they.
It's that Israel's policy has violated international law.
They would have been happy with a two state solution or one state without apartheid.
This kept getting broken, even when they did peaceful protests.
Why is it so hard to admit that the government of Israel is no different than ours with violating international law? (Ex: illegal settlements, the blockade, and the mess going on today) heck, they even follow the same script we did in Iraq and Afghanistan, killing hundreds to get ONE bad guy. It's fucking insane.
What we want is what people wanted in Eastern Ukraine from 2014 until that other enemies war:
Stop the bullshit harassment and restriction of rights.
Give those rights back to the American Indians then. Sorry, but the focus on Israel, this tiny state that struggles to survive, that has been attacked repeatedly and when it responds, it wins a war, gains territory and then often gives it back again, is over-the-top. As a woman, I can tell you, I would much rather, a million times over, be under the government of Israel or the United States then under Sharia law, and I know this from first-hand experience, having lived in Luxor, for three years, having escaped with my family out of Egypt right before the 6 Day War when we were exposed to the hatred towards America and Israel. Simply by virtue of being Americans (we were not our government; we were just ordinary citizens) our lives were in danger. And having lived a few years ago for a beautiful month in the Sahara Desert in Morocco, which I am also writing about, because this happens to be my favorite part of the world. Israel does not control Gaza, Hamas does. It might be an eye-opener to find out what the surrounding Arab/Muslim states actually think of Palestinians and the real reasons why they do not accept refuges; it isn't a pleasant truth. As I said, I am writing an essay about all of that so I will leave more comments for that piece. I do want to say, I appreciate the conversation. I appreciate when people continue to discuss, not just end it all, so many blessings for that. I also wanted to say I do not support the censoring of, say, Rashida Tlaib by Congress. I have fought too hard in my own life for free speech. Let everyone speak.
Sorry, but go and ask Native Americans if they feel like equal citizens. Then talk to Arabs living in Israel (because there are many of them) and find out what they think and if they would rather live in Israel or a Muslim state. I did a project with Native American children in northern California, connecting them through art and writing with kids in the Sahara Desert. I did it all on my own, no funding from anyone, just because I wanted to give a voice to children who were voiceless. I will be sharing the things they wrote about and the pictures they drew in another essay.

Thanks for the interview! Love the work you're doing Karen.
Thanks, Roman 🙏
Karen you really nailed it when you touched on how the tech bros want us all living inside their video game. many (most?) of them are on the autism spectrum so they don't quite get the difference between animate and inanimate - we're all toys to them.
glad you mentioned tv as being the first step in the process. don't know if you're aware of wally - for example this is his big hit https://revelationsofjesuschrist.com/its-worse-than-you-think-part-3/

Yes, the native Americans were robbed.
But today, they have rights as US citizens. It was a shame that it took so long to recognize them as citizens.
Do Palestinians have rights as citizens of the nation that they are under control of? Some. Why not all?
