In today's liberal democracy even a soft critique of Isreal's policy against Palestinians is seen as an anti-semitic act and might lead to cancelling someone out of the public debate. As long as Zizek didn't engage in debates around transpeople or Palestine he was seen as an interesting, maybe a bit eccentric public intellectual. We should build and support our own left-wing and independent media and slowly leave liberal public sphere, which is completely blind to so many important for us issues.

I don’t pretend to understand all that you say - and I don’t align myself with anything other than all of us and that us be peaceful. Yes how far fetched am I - thought I heard Netanyahu or at least a spokesperson of which take your pick use the term ‘my people’ - it wasn’t Moses anyway. But - to use your term, we are all my people. I don’t like exclusivity - and you will perhaps see all this as naive commentary. It is not the war it says it is and I don’t support the annihilation of Palestine people. Meanwhile the superpowers press on and Netanyahu does what he likes.
