There’s plenty of anti-genocide intellectuals who aren’t disgusting transphobes that this website doesn’t pay any attention to. Why the specific fixation on the White Jewish Transphobe who constantly dooms about Palestine anyway?
I really never pegged him for a transphobe or racist but I’ll defer to you on this. I hold him in high regard so reading about him in this light is kind of odd.
He’s fantastic at what he does, studying and chronicling the Palestinian genocide and the region’s history. One of the more powerful voices when it comes to this, and he’s distilled it for the western audience in a way few others have. It’d be extremely disheartening and disappointing if it did turn out that he’s actually a massive bigot against trans and black folk. I’ve seen him make jabs at woke before but I never really attributed it to a deeper reactionary vein in him. I just need to see it for myself
In the book he’s excerpting from he goes into even further and more overt detail in the broader transphobic rant - his general opinion seems to be a rehash of the old ‘homosexuality is bourgiese decadence’ thing, but applied to being transgender instead.
It’s really quite obvious and heinous in the book, there’s even a moment where the conceptual connection is made clear and he went so far as to plausibly-deniably imply that being homosexual should still be considered a mental illness.
Thanks for outright telling me my rights are just window dressing to you that must be discarded at the first opportunity. Seriously, go fuck yourself, you opportunist swine. If i had Finkelstein’s shit takes on BDS, you would call for my head while constantly misgendering me.

He’s a reactionary crank, hexbear loves that aesthetic so much that they can even forgive the fact that he’s a “moderate” zionist.

For the record, while I’m not actually aware of the racism though I find it believable, the transphobia isn’t really hidden.
