Keith Preston’s “Free Enterprise: The Antidote to Corporate Plutocracy”
I wanted to pass along a link to an essay that I think you all should read. Preston is what I guess he would call a "left-libertarian" or "anarcho-socialist", or perhaps he has another term. Anyway, the piece is brilliantly constructed and it won the Chris R. Tame...

5/13/21 Ramzy Baroud on Palestinian Solidarity in the Face of Israeli Oppression
Ramzy Baroud discusses the deliberately misleading way that stories about Israel-Palestine are presented in western media. The story, he says, almost always begins with the fact that Palestinians have launched rockets at Israeli forces, or at least presents the conflict as an even fight between two neighbors, in which Israel, of course, has the right to defend its own borders. What’s never explained is the fact that the supposed Palestinian territories are at this point little more than heavily-occupied refugee camps, and that attacks from the Palestinians cannot be understood without the background of decades of Israeli aggression. Nevertheless, Baroud describes himself as an optimist: in particular, he thinks the situation has become so obviously one-sided that international support cannot help but shift toward the plight of the Palestinians.
Discussed on the show:
- “Muna is Palestine, Yakub is Israel: The Untold Story of Sheikh Jarrah” (Palestine Chronicle)
- “If I don’t steal it, somebody else is going to steal it.” (Twitter)
- “Opinion | Palestinian Refugees Deserve to Return Home. Jews Should Understand.” (The New York Times)
Ramzy Baroud is a US-Arab journalist and is the editor-in-chief of the Palestine Chronicle. He is the author of My Father Was A Freedom Fighter: The Untold Story of Gaza and The Last Earth: A Palestinian Story. His new book is These Chains Will Be Broken: Palestinian Stories of Struggle and Defiance in Israeli Prisons. Follow Ramzy on Twitter @RamzyBaroud and read his work at RamzyBaroud.net.
