I’ve read so much about Elon Musk’s hand gesture that I feel like I’m Barbara Streisand Effecting myself. In times of uncertainty, I come back to the king, George Orwell. “The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.” I’m going to assume that if it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, well, you know. Charlie Warzel over at The Atlantic argues that what matters is how people saw it. White supremacists felt empowered.

The brutal Anglo-Zionist repression of the great Arab Revolt of 1936–39 was followed by the Nakba of 1948, the Six-Day War in 1967, the 1982 siege of Beirut, led by Ariel Sharon, and the massacres of Sabra and Shatila, the two Intifadas, the continuous raining down of terror by Israel since then.
