“Yascha wrote an article ‘The Deep Roots of the Left’s Deafening Silence on Hamas’ on Oct 16, 2023. The title says it all. The attack killed 1200 Israelis and as far as I know every member of the elected Left of the Democratic Party immediately criticized it. There were some corners of the internet that didn’t and they were rightly castigated. Now, the date I am writing this is July 24, 2024. It has been 291 days since Israel began its genocidal campaign in Gaza. Roughly 40k Gazans are killed. Tens of thousands of more are believed to be dead under the rubble. The after-effects of this war can cause hundreds of thousands of more deaths. Yet, Yascha has not published an article condemning this carnage nor did he make a case to stop sending more military aid to Israel. Neither has a condemnation come from so-called Centrists or the Right. The Deep Roots of Yascha’s Deafening Silence on the Gazan Genocide are not a mystery. It is the essence of his thinking that uses intellectual sophistication as a mask to his base instincts of racism.
Shame and hypocrisy are words that can’t be found in Yascha’s dictionary”
