I'll reply point by point to the surreal inaccuracy of Mr. Wight's response:
"Israel is a brutal racist apartheid state, established on the back of a mass programme of ethnic cleansing and sustained since at the negation of the land's indigenous population ever since.
Zionism is a species of white supremacy, a racist settler colonial ideology, and murderous for all that.
The guards at Auschwitz did not speak Arabic, they spoke German and also Ukrainian, surprise-surprise."
--Actually many camp guards were Soviet POWs, Russian, Belarussian and Ukrainian. But the Shoah certainly spoke Arabic in the Hitler and Final Solution allied Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, Amin al-Husseini: https://www.timesofisrael.com/full-official-record-what-the-mufti-said-to-hitler/
when the Arab leader met the Fuhrer in Berlin in 1941.
"Israel's sustainability and security will forever be contingent on the justice afforded the Palestinian people, to you and yours Helots to Israel's Sparta. More justice for the Palestinians, more peace and security for Israel."
--Here are Israel's negotiating partners: The PA is led by a Holocaust-denying anti-semite who dreams of from the river to the sea while Gaza is led by Hamas' theocratic fascists who have ruled Gaza since the year after Israel's 2005 unilateral withdrawal, gaining power by throwing Fatah members off rooftops:
"At a speech to senior members of his Fatah party in Ramallah, Abbas claimed that it was "not true" that "[Adolf] Hitler killed the Jews because they were Jews." Abbas also repeated antisemitic tropes by falsely claiming that Germany "fought [Jews] because of their social role, and not their religion. Because of usury and money."
At MEMRI, the Middle East Media Research Institute, the full catalog of Hamas' genocidal ambition is on display in Imams' sermons and other media: memri.org/search-results?country_id_report%5B0%5D=0&country_id_clip%5B0%5D=0&country_id_jttm%5B0%5D=0&tv_station_id%5B0%5D=0&subject_id%5B0%5D=0&jttm_subject_id%5B0%5D=0&cjlab_category_id%5B0%5D=0&category_id%5B0%5D=0&cdate=0&custom_data_range_start=09/12/2023&custom_data_range_end=09/12/2023&order_type=0&order_style=0&keywords=Hamas%20charter&type=0&ia_number=&sd_number=&sa_number=&content_number=&author_id&content_type%5B0%5D=0¤t_site=
Jews stubbornly insist on not returning to the Arabs' legally codified medieval Jim Crow of Dar al Dhimmi-tude ghetto and preserving the same kind of sovereignty as his British countrymen and erstwhile EU neighbors, which gets Mr. Wight’s knickers in a twist. At the time of the Arab conquest of Jerusalem in 638 CE Jews had been living in Israel for 1800 years. This simple fact was, of course, contested by Arafat at the Clinton-led Camp David negotiations in December 2000, where the PLO’s lead kleptocrat refused to sign, which the Saudi ambassador, Prince Bandar, called a "crime against the Palestinian people": https://medium.com/lessons-from-history/palestine-israel-slogan-demolition-in-nine-minutes-59eb99f88836
“Communism throughout its history has educated, housed and liberated more people than capitalism ever has.”
--So, Mr. Wight votes for Mao's 1950s Great Leap Forward famine that killed 15-50m over Deng Hsiao Ping's "it's important that the cat catch mice, not how" market reforms that lifted 800m Chinese out of poverty.
More Communist famines and poverty: North Korea in the '90s, Stalin's planned famine in the genocidal Holodomor of 1932-33 that killed 4m Ukrainians and the millions of Venezuelans who have fled to Colombia and Panama. No sane Cuban flees from Florida to Cuba, only the reverse.
It’s true that the threat of communism forced capitalism to reform itself. It’s also true that the removal of that threat yielded victors’ hubris and to what the Austrian-Jewish-British communist historian EJ Hobsbawm predicted: “capitalism saws off the tree branch upon which it sits.” Teddy and Franklin Roosevelt properly understood that the job of politics was to take the saw out of the hands of the capitalists.
