Electronic Arts, the video game maker, is being acquired and taken private for about $52.5 billion in what could become the largest-ever buyout funded by private-equity firms.
I completely agree about your view of Israel’s actions, what I was failing to communicate is that, among things going on today, it’s probably the most obvious and actionable example of a genocidal atrocity the US is responsible for, along with its treatment of immigrants. I was just saying that if someone is duly critical of their own nation and situations that are actionable by them, then their criticism of other country’s actions can be evaluated on their own merits, or at least such an evaluation should be entered into the total consideration. I feel like it’s unhelpful to say that such people who are duly critical, by virtue of being Americans, are disqualified from talking about – to pick an arbitrary example – the persecution of civilian groups in the Sudanese war, or even something less catastrophic but still clearly bad, like Japan’s historical revisionism wrt its treatment of Korean and Chinese people. So long as these aren’t being used as deflections or whatabouts from what America and its conspirators do, it’s a good thing for people to be aware of, discuss, and advocate about.
