I have not read The Message but whatever its merits or flaws, Coates’ essay on redlining was masterful and powerful. Any work of writing deserves to be judged on its own.
You don’t have to have visited the West Bank to realize that the word apartheid involves no hyperbole. You just have to read and watch interviews. It is obvious that apartheid accurately describes what the Israeli government, settlers, and army are doing. A more inflammatory but no less accurate term here is lebensraum, with all of its Nazi context.
After reading this column, I’m going to buy the book.
Also, thanks for calling out Bari Weiss’ enterprise as a “grifter Death Star.” Well and truly stated.
