Not the best article as it’s mainly meant to appeal to liberals, as I was told recently, and convince those sitting on the fence. People’s World does this from time to time as it has 2 million subscribers, at least, so the audience is much broader. Hopefully, you’ll understand, though I know many will criticize this article, rightfully for certain things.
Victor Grossman was someone that defected to the GDR (or DDR) and defended the GDR/DDR as well as the wider Soviet Union and Warsaw Pact countries.
For the record, I do not believe that what happened on October 7th was reported accurately at all.

There’s a Algerian author who puts this idea very well. Paraphrasing from French, she said that when the white bourgeoisie targets Arabs, Jewish people should watch out because when they are done with the first they’re coming for the latter. She advocates for solidarity between poor white people, Arabs and Jews to overthrow capitalism
May I know the name of this author and the name of this (presumable) book?
Author is Houria Boutelja, her books containing this analysis are Les Blancs, les Juifs et nous : vers une politique de l’amour révolutionnaire as well as Beaufs et barbares, Le pari du nous
Is it in English?
I didn’t think there would be a translation but it looks like there is : https://mitpress.mit.edu/author/houria-bouteldja-27767/
Checking this out right now!
Hey, coming back a few days later to tell you that the precise quote is in fact not from her (I think I heard it from her but she was quoting) it’s Frantz Fanon who said it first! It’s something like “When they talk about the jews, [black people] be weary, they’re talking about you”
Ah, well, I’ll still read the book either way!
Sure, anti-semitism needs to be combatted, but did anyone ever say it didn’t? I could understand if they even mentioned any instance of anti-semitic attacks, but they didn’t even do that…?
I’m getting a very ALM vs BLM kinda vibe.
The article is meant to ask, basically, fence-sitters to join the fight and basically change their minds.
I’ve seen anti-Semitic attacks rise, but obviously, Islamophobia has also risen.
I think they didn’t mention anti-Semitic attacks because this was mainly about the Palestininan people and partly how “anti-Semitism” is used as camouflage for Israel’s actions.
