Anne Elk's new theory about the brontosaurus was more credible than Tucker's demon story.

Just to touch on a few of his examples, because it's a relevant conversation to have despite Hanson having many takes over the years that should thoroughly discredit him in the eyes of anyone who gives a shit about the truth. He still argues in favour for the Iraq War for example.

- The Turkish invasion of Cyprus is considered illegal under international law, is a major issue between the EU & Turkey (Cyprus has joined the EU since the invasion) that has been a hurdle (among others) towards Turkey gaining entry into the EU.

- "what's going on in Nigeria" isn't nearly as targeted as the American right wing says it is:

- Armenia/Azerbaijan conflict is a complicated one that's ~50 yrs old and has had periods of christian armenians doing bad shit to azerbaijani muslims, and vice versa. The amount of death and displacement through out the life of the conflict is about even. Armenia caught the shit end of the stick the last time this flaired up, but won the previous war. I don't know why anyone anywhere would consider this to have useful parallels (moral, tactical, political) with Israel-Palestine.

I mean, to claim that Israel is being singled out is kind of silly. Lots of other nations have faced political and cultural/consumer consequences for what were viewed as aggressive actions towards their neighbours. Over the same time period he's discussing? Iran, Iraq, Russia, North Korea, Sudan, Syria, Burma, South Africa (maybe the most apt example fwiw regarding cultural and commercial divestment), Serbia, Libya.

I think you’re overcomplicating a very simple point (deliberately?), which is that nobody gives a shit about these other actual genocides and war crimes.

No mass protests, no boycotts, no awards ceremony speeches about them, no Greta sailing over to them, no coverage in the news, no violence against people in the west whose ancestry traces back to those places. Nothing. Nada. Only the Jews inspire them all. Wonder why.
