The genocide in Gaza continues unabated. Israel has cut off all humanitarian aid for months. People are starving. The world is largely indifferent. Which means it’s a perfect time for another story about the people to blame for where we find ourselves: activists who won’t curb their annoying habit of being mad about all of this stuff.

The guy in this picture is Marc Andreessen. Andreessen is one of the most influential venture capitalists in the world, but that’s not what you’re thinking about when you look at this picture. You know and I know that you’re thinking one thing and one thing only: “Jesus Christ nobody has ever looked like an egg more than this person.”It’s OK!

more than anything the deborah lipstadt interview shows how weak the liberal zionist game is. this is supposed to be a titan of this space, and she's undone by some pretty basic questions. truly an ideology in its death throes
