Since being diagnosed with cancer my husband has become very willing to step into arguments at his workplace and elsewhere because “nobody wants to be seen yelling at the guy with brain cancer” and so far his success rate is shockingly high.

The flip side of “criticism of Israel isn’t antisemitism,” is that “antisemitism is not criticism of Israel.”

That means that just because a person engages in “criticism of Israel,” doesn’t mean that any antisemitic behavior they display is suddenly justified.

And unfortunately a lot of the people who are really enthusiastic about the first statement fail to grasp the second.

filmmakers and audiences and critics alike all need to start suspending their disbelief again

Eugène Delacroix La Liberté guidant le peuple (Liberty Leading the People) 1830

Happy Bastille Day, everyone. Today marks the anniversary of the storming of the Bastille, the event that symbolizes the beginning of the French Revolution. On this day, a large group of angry sans-culottes, radicalized Parisian plebians, capped days of increasingly volatile interactions between King Louis XVI and the elected representatives in meeting in the États Généraux (Estates General) by seizing the Bastille, largely to arm themselves with the captured canons, muskets and gunpowder that were stored there, in preparation for what they knew was to come. Ultimately, the storming of the Bastille is recognized as the event that culminated with the seizure of power by the Third Estate and ultimately by the Jacobins, the overthrow of the monarchy, the breaking of the power of the Church, the end of feudal dues and obligations and the institution of a radical republic in what is recognized as the most radical revolution of the 18th and early 19th centuries.

"Liberté, égalité, fraternité." Maximilien Robespierre

"Mort aux tyrans, paix aux chaumines." (Death to the tyrants, peace to the cottages.) - Oath taken by the Jacobins in 1794

"Le secret de la liberté est d'éclairer les hommes, comme celui de la tyrannie est de les retenir dans l'ignorance."

("The secret of freedom lies in educating people, whereas the secret of tyranny is in keeping them ignorant") - Maximilien Robespierre

"C'est le comble de la sottise de prétendre que des hommes qui, pendant mille ans, ont eu le pouvoir de nous injurier, de nous tondre et de nous opprimer en toute impunité, accepteront maintenant, avec bonne grâce, d'être nos égaux."

(It is the height of stupidity to claim that men who for a thousand years have had the power to revile us, to fleece us and to oppress us with impunity, will now agree, with good grace, to be our equals.) - Jean-Paul Marat

Oh, and by the way, I know this painting is set during the July Days Revolution of 1830, but it's a great painting and it absolutely pictures the revolutionary spirit in France., whether 1789, 1830 or 1848.
