Interview: Naomi Klein
"The end of the bombs does not mean the end of the genocide, unfortunately.
"Gaza is a crime scene.
"I don't think we've really understood what the Nazis were originally. We in Europe & in North America treated them as a rupture, instead of as a continuation of the ideologies of settler colonialism."

@DrALJONES Don't forget: the Nazis sent two SS assholes to the US to study the genocide of Indigenous people here. Their intent was to replicate it in Europe. Not only Roma, Jews, and us Queers and austistic folks were to be targeted, but also much of the Eastern European public especially Slavic peoples.
Lebensraum is just how you say Manifest Destiny in German. The US was the original. Nazi Germany, Apartheid South Africa, and Israel were all copies.
Yes, they were also very taken with Jim Crow... and the grotesque medical experiments on people of colour.... etc.
Interesting Luke. It's also true that US anthropologists visited Germany in the mid-thirties seemingly to develop their understanding of the power of culture in binding a society together and also in fuelling resistance to power.
and trade unionists, don't forget them. One of the first groups into the camps.
@LukefromDC @DrALJONES I forget which leading American eugenicist criticised the Nazis’ laws for not going far enough, possibly Davenport or Laughlin.
@DrALJONES Derrida referred to the Holocaust as European colonial practices brought home to Europe. He was, of course, both Jewish and North African.
