    Originally published: Informed Comment on March 2, 2024 by Committee on Academic Freedom, Aslı Ü. Bâli, Laurie Brand (more by Informed Comment) (Posted Mar 05, 2024)

    “The institutional target of the attack by the Republican members of the Judiciary Committee–the Center for Security, Race and Rights–is an academic institution engaged in research, public education and advocacy “to address the underlying structural and systemic causes of Islamophobia and xenophobia against people of Arab, African, and South Asian descent.”” – Aslı Ü.

    From the Siege of Leningrad to the Siege of Gaza: Colonialist mentality

    Originally published: Informed Comment on January 28, 2024 by Yakov M. Rabkin (more by Informed Comment) (Posted Feb 02, 2024)

    Gaza was a free-fire zone on Saturday and Sunday, with UN officials saying that no place in the Strip is safe. Hundreds were killed, almost all of them innocent noncombatants, and including a worrisome number of children.

    The U.S. role in turning countries into shitholes and provoking immigration

    Originally published: Informed Comment on January 12, 2018 (more by Informed Comment)

    Since Trump is a racist, he thinks that countries get to have poor economic and security situations because of the race of the people that inhabit them. That is silly (and dangerous) as history and social science.

    Politics above law: how Trump channels far right icon Carl Schmitt without knowing it

    Originally published: Informed Comment on September 5, 2017 by Andrew Kolin (more by Informed Comment) (Posted Sep 09, 2017)

    It is safe to assume that Trump has not read the writings of the German legal and political theorist Carl Schmitt, who wrote his most important books during the Weimar Republic and leading up to the Nazi regime. At the root of these writings was Schmitt’s emphasis on placing politics above law.
