ASG's counter-hegemony unit

Israel is not just a social or political fact that requires scientific analysis and explanation; from its very inception until today, its longstanding and consistent record of aggression, murder and displacement— to name but a few ways in which it is an existential threat— have consecrated its status as a value judgement in much the same way that moral concepts like evil and injustice are. We should soon reach the stage whereby we don’t have to explain why Israel should cease to exist, just as we are not required to explain why evil should cease to exist , other than to say “because it’s Israel, stupid”.
