Re: [Salon] On the concept of 'diplomicide'... and more



These people will cure the "weakness" of Biden's State Dept. that people here hope to change?

I guess we have a "sacred duty" to vote for Trump, to get a better alternative?

Miriam Adelson: Jews have a 'sacred duty' to vote for Trump

The Las Vegas billionaire called Trump a “brother” to Jewish Americans.
A "brother" to Israeli fascists, without a doubt!

Here's their closing argument ad: 

BLUF: "While Kamala Harris is busy defending the Squad, Donald Trump will keep the Jewish community safe.

Jewish voters, some of whom have never voted for a Republican in their lives, understand the incredibly high stakes in this election. We encourage Jewish voters to listen to their Bubbies: it's OK to vote for Donald Trump.

"With just 16 days left before Election Day, the Jewish community is more engaged and energized than ever before, and will once again play a decisive role in critical battleground states - and the RJC is laser-focused on delivering a victory for President Trump."

Hi, folks--

In case you missed my newsletter today, you can now read it here.

In it, I developed the concept of 'diplomicide', namely a sustained campaign to kill not just one particular diplomatic endeavor but also the whole concept of diplomacy, as a valuable-- nay, vital-- tool of statecraft.

I humbly submit that this is what Pres. Biden and his team have been engaged in regarding Gaza for the past 55 weeks. Every month or so, Sec. Blinken puts on a grotesque vaudeville of a diplomatic "performance" which has increasingly served to mock not just the victims of the ongoing (heavily US-supported) genocide in Gaza, but also the whole practice, tradition, and norms of diplomatic engagement.

There's a lot more in the newsletter, too, of course. Including news from Gaza, from the world of book-publishing, from Tehran, and elsewhere...

You stay well-- Helena
