Thanks for quoting, I wasn't going to read the article, but now I realise the author is obviously onto something and I'd do well to read him.

If you read the article, he is not saying that Israel doesn't have a right to defend itself. He's saying that Israel's right to defend itself has been a lie told to justify the genocide they are carrying out in Gaza.

There are many lies, no single "the lie". Climate change is caused by multiple factors, co2 being one of them.

> we wouldn't be fascist, we'd simply need totalitarian control over every facet of business, labor, capital, leisure, transport and production.

Even ignoring all the rest, that is in fact not what fascism means.

I thought we were at the stage where emotive language was fine when it's literally wrong if it communicates the right idea?
