As I sat watching the Hollywood blockbuster Oppenheimer all I could think of was Edward Said. In his famous essay “Zionism from the Standpoint of Its Victims,” Said argued that there was no way to understand the ideology of Zionism----the idea of Jewish racial supremacy---without examining the experience of those who suffered from it, namely Palestinians like himself.
Okay I think we just misunderstood each other. i wasnt suggesting you think that.

I aint saying that appreciating it is an automatic endorsement of their persons. That’s nonsensically reductive. I’m saying the opposite. Miles Davis was one of the greatest American artists of the 20th century and also a massive dick.
