Timothy Snyder’s<em> Bloodlands</em>: Right-wing propaganda disguised as historical scholarship — Part One

The role that Snyder is playing in justifying the imperialist proxy war against Russia in Ukraine and the alliance of US imperialism with the Ukrainian far right make it imperative to investigate his book more closely.

      Yeah fun fact that I just wanted to look it up. Naimark has basically gone on an Israeli podcast and has toed the academic line, about how you can’t just destroy Palestinians because you want to. He didn’t call it a genocide, he explicitly denied it was a genocide but said it was ethnic cleansing. And he also used the term “the so-called Nakba”.

      The host by the end of it looks so sad because he really thought he was gonna get this Jewish Genocide Studies scholar to definitively say, YOU CAN TREAT THE PALESTINIANS LIKE DOGS.

        My understanding is “ethnic cleansing” is a euphemism for genocide with no distinct meaning. It’s used to launder certain genocides as “less bad”. Is that a fair assessment?

          In terms of a distinct meaning, ethnic cleansing is a descriptor of generally dispossessing a people, where genocide is a descriptor of destroying a people. You can ethnically cleanse people without destroying them.

          Genocide itself used in the IR sense is a legal charge according to the genocide convention. Not all ethnic cleansing counts as genocide in the genocide convention.

        Ugh. So many former humans choosing to join a ‘protocols of the elders of Zion’/‘the turner diaries’ crossover LARP, and everyone just keeps kayfabe. Like they can be neutral on this shit.

          TBF this was the “center-right” and polite position in academia all along.

          The consensus has been there for a long time.
