From my essay that a lot of liberal Zionists are complaining about: "as Arabs we had long ago observed that if you play out the string, or let the string play out on its own, then these supposedly apolitical cultural productions always end up justifying Israel, as do their producers."

"Of the campus lit I’ve read, Kingsley Amis’s LUCKY JIM and Bernard Malamud’s A NEW LIFE are the funniest, John Williams’ STONER is the most poignant, and Vladimir Nabokov’s PNIN is the most playful. JERRY AND RODRIGO GO TO WAR brings together the best of each of these."

Right as a book of mine is close to being published, I worry that I'm about to make an enormous fool of myself. Even so, I am proud to announce the publication of my second novel, "Jerry and Rodrigo Go to War." May it provide you warm and meaningful company.
Here's a long essay analyzing the recent emergence of rightwing critics of Israel. I argue that it is a bad idea for the Palestine solidarity movement in North America to seek any kind of alliance with those critics or to validate the ideologies they represent. stevesalaita.com/palestine-so...
Palestine Solidarity in the Age of Reaction - Steve Salaita
Should people involved with the Palestine solidarity movement in North America, traditionally leftist in orientation, seek alliances with the political right?
stevesalaita.com
Daily bombings, hundreds of thousands of people living in tents, cell phones brought in by the entity instead of medicine and food exploding in people's hands, approval of another fucking infrastructure of settler colonial genocide, and Palestinians continue to support each others' survival.
It's a little depressing how the bodies in Gaza haven't even been buried and US national socialists are already back to positioning Palestine as a faraway irrelevant cause (except when useful to build credibility for their celebrity politicians)
Steve Salaita@stevesalaita.bsky.social · 12mo agoDo you get annoyed when uncompromising anti-Zionism is dismissed as "purity politics"? If so, you might find this short essay worth a read: stevesalaita.com/palestine-an...
