politics @lemmy.world•Russia is trying to exploit America's divisions over the war in Gaza
01·2 years agoThe Animus is real, but the way they have pulled an uncomfortable form of anti-zionism into otherwise legitimate concerns about apartheid in the Levant is hard to look past. There are serious academic conversations to be had about how Israel is the original sin of the modern nation-state, but that cat is out of the bag at this point. Russia has unambiguously worked to amplify the voices of violent extremists and racists, at the expense of measured and educated voices on this issue, and they have used youthful naivety towards some very concerning rhetoric as a conduit for this information warfare.
The shame here is that this has become a distraction over real criticism and has impeded geopolitical consensus on the way Israel has approached this conflict. Most people who are paying attention believe Israel is way over the line, but are not willing to support a form of anti-zionist messaging which openly calls for throwing ten million Israeli Jews to the wolves.

The counterpoint is that Nedry was hired to stand up infrastructure and is likely the one responsible for not properly staffing that effort. The CEO isn’t going to know anything about that and will naturally defer to the people hired for those tasks. If Ned says it’s all fine and he’s coming in under budget, no reason to doubt him.
We all know lone wolf types which will hack together systems and pretend like everything is fine just so they’ll never be bothered by the presence of others questioning their brilliance.

If there is a god, it will happen on live television.
