The idea of Israel being an American outpost of "progressive ideals" is pure burgerbrained nonsense. Israel is a gentrified neighborhood constantly regentrifying itself as the rate of Palestinian dispossession slows down. We recognize ourselves in them because it's a country of land thieves going out to novelty restaurants for fun, while Israeli youth is either on the path to being a useless orthodox torah-reader or drug-addled liberal fascists.

I know he's a personal hero of mine, but the career of Glubb Pasha sort of spells it out. British colonial management of Jordan was really straightforward and well documented. They identified Pan-Arabism as a threat to both Jordan, and their other client, Kuwait. As holding Egypt and Iraq was untenable, the British need a wedge, quite literally, to keep the two most powerful Arab states apart, and certainly from unifying politically and threatening Suez (and therefore India). They trained the Jordanian military along British lines and had British officers commanding, but the Hashemite monarchy was still fragile because the "Arab street" was sympathetic towards Pan-Arabism. There needed to be some other way to maintain a British presence in the region and keep Egypt and Iraq apart. Jordan also needed some sort of backstop, particularly because the Hashemites and Saudis did not get along. Actually, the Saudis were felt to be American clients and a threat, right under Pan-Arabism, to the Hashemites. So, what sort of military ally could Britain have in the region to accomplish all of these goals? Any other Arab state might defect to the Egyptian-Iraqi cause, and indeed the fact that Iraq's monarch was overthrown is what created this strategic dilemma in the first place. The first solution was Iran. Persians, by definition, were a safe hedge against Pan-Arabism. The French provided a hedge through how they engineered Lebanon, basically ensuring that even if Syria was lost to Pan-Arabism, the Med would be safe and there was a state there that would never fall into the Pan-Arab camp because of the Maronites. That meant the north flank, and eastern flank were secure. In Cyprus, gosh, permanent British military presence was guaranteed and the island could never fall to a Turkish, or Greek, state that might oppose British interests. Strange how that turned out. The British at one point tried to use the Copts in Egypt like the French had used the Maronites but it didn't really work. Copts are Christian, but they're Arab and they weren't going to side with the British while they were on their way out the door. They also tried to make use of some of the other diaspora groups left behind in the wake of the Ottoman Empire, Greeks, Italians, Armenians and Albanians, but there weren't enough of them. Also, the Imperial Civil Service was full of Arabists and Orientalists who were more sympathetic towards the Bedouins than farming groups, and they associated Greeks, Italians, Armenians and Albanians with criminality as opposed to the pure Arabs of the desert, so that was not going to work. To loop back around, that's why the British loving loved the Camel Corps and all of the other British trained - but very exotic - military units in the Jordanian Army they constructed. So, basically they realized that there was still one group that might let them keep an eye on Suez, and that was kind of that. A Jewish state, or state perpetually divided between Arabs and Jews, like Cyprus and Lebanon, would allow the British to keep Iraq and Egypt apart, and Suez secure. Some British officers, like Wingate, supported the Jews. Others, like Glubb, supported the Arabs. You can see this sort of like the Indian and Pakistani armies at partition still being commanded and staffed by British officers who felt fiercely attached to "their" Indians. The divisions had existed in the British Indian Army long before partition. Same deal here, only instead of Britishers who preferred the Muslim martial races as opposed to those who preferred the Sikhs and Hindu Jats/Rajputs, it was the Arabists versus the Philosemites. After the Suez crisis, Britain entrusted protection of the canal, and Jordan, to the Americans, and their policy has more or less been the same, but without the romanticism. There's a book that suggests that US support for Israel started as a way to support Jordan (on behalf of the Brits), and America only really began taking an interest after 1967, and I tend to agree with that analysis.

At least two employees who spoke to the Guardian have quit in response to its overt emphasis on pro-Israel advocacy since the Israeli offensive on Gaza began, building on a pattern of departures from the organization. But the ADL has only doubled down on initiatives defending Israel and the policies of the Israeli government. It has welcomed a controversial congressional resolution that defined anti-Zionism as antisemitism, and it has called on law enforcement to investigate student activist groups for providing “material support” to Hamas, which the US government has designated as a terrorist organization. as is the part about greenblatt conflating the anti-zionist left with rightwing bigotry.

But it’s actually in line with ADL’s “general approach” which is “to try and stay at the table with people in positions of power to try to coax them into a better place”, according to an internal email from senior vice-president Adam Neufeld viewed by the Guardian. sure looks like it lol

Dreylad posted:lol even people working in the ADL are feeling uncomfortable: quote:At the same time, Greenblatt has sought to win over or appease certain voices on the far right. In late November, Elon Musk endorsed an antisemitic conspiracy theory on X. Major companies pulled advertising, and the White House condemned it as an “abhorrent promotion of antisemitic and racist hate”. Greenblatt criticized it on a podcast, but the next day, he praised Musk, after the tech CEO said that tweeting the controversial protest chant “from the river to the sea” would be deemed a violation of X’s terms of service. Several dismayed ADL advisory board members threatened to quit their posts, and this week, according to reporting in Jewish Currents, an executive resigned over Greenblatt’s praise of Musk. very funny to make those statements within 24 hours of each other

Yeah, the UK is also decommissioning 2 frigates at the same time before they can get a replacement. This is along with most of their attack subs being in or waiting for drydock, them selling/giving all of their minesweepers, and recently one of their 4 nuclear ballistic subs almost sunk due to a faulty gauge. That isn't even to begin with the issues with the carriers. Ardennes has issued a correction as of 07:27 on Jan 6, 2024 |
