Never knew it until his TruAnon appearance, but he sounds like Jordan Peterson. As in tone and cadence, not the content of his speech.

I keep hearing about this guy. Who is he. Is he based or is he cringe
He's an old old man who had his entire career destroyed for categorically disproving Alan dershowitzs lies about Israel and continuing to fight for Palestinians regardless. He has bad takes on trans people, which should be ignored because it's not what his work is about and he's so old he doesn't own a phone.
So he's based on Palestine but gets the wall anyway because there is no liberation without trans liberation. Fair enough
This was truly not enjoyable to learn given I just discovered the guy days ago and really respected what he did. I still do, but with the massive caveat that he probably doesn't want me to exist or some shit
He's a scholar of Israel and Palestine who has been very vocal about his support for Palestinian freedom. He more or less lost his academic career in a feud with Alan Dershowitz (the Dracula music should play in your head right now) because of his criticism of Israel. He's a pretty cool guy IMO, although he had some bad takes about trans people.
Bach is too good for Dersh
Yes.
He was on Trueanon (ep 327) recently and it was pretty solid.
It was fascinating how he's so absolutely meticulous in his writing, describing how he goes to such lengths to never get any detail even slightly wrong, so it doesn't give his opponents an easy gotcha.
And yet on other topics he just shoots from the hip with crazy old man takes.
At any given point in time his state is a |based> + b |cringe>
