One more thing: in my opinion, justice can never be bad, and the “social justice” is a misnomer in a movement that wants justice without “due process”, meaning they want to decide where justice is needed & what amounts to justice without having to legitimize the reasoning behind their choices.

They are the mirror image of the far right QAnon/anti-government conspiracy types and they are all already starting to align, so “justice” is definitely not a concept anyone should associate with them, unless one thinks vigilantism & terror is justice or a legitimate means to justice.

I worry that people on the right are starting to disdain justice because of the abuse the word is taking on the far left. Is that happening? I hope not. Justice is one of the best values of democracies.

I love this piece, but I ask you to find words that aren’t eliminationist (“parasite”) for the non-combatant Arabs in Gaza. Or explain why it’s OK to use the language that was used to prime the Germans to do what they did.
