Hey everybody. It's James Lindsay. You are listening to New Discourse's Bullets, where I give a short

bullet point-like summary of a single topic relevant to woke that we all need to understand

so we can defeat it. And I see all this propaganda. This is the leftist framing and the Palestinian framing, as they

call themselves, for the story around the creation of Israel. And I think we need to do a little,

like, let's just try to look at some history. So I'm not an expert in this history.

That's my disclaimer.

I'm going to read to you from GROC, where I went and asked a question, and I'm going to share you its answer.

So all the disclaimers that go with GROC apply.

But I think that this is just important information to get out there.

So in particular, around the history of the formation of the state of Israel is this event

that the Arab Palestinians call the Nakba.

And this is a term that has gone more widely.

Nakba in Arabic means catastrophe.

And it is alleged to be basically the beginning

of this so-called genocide and occupation

in the language of the post-colonial left.

This is language that's derived directly

from what we call post-colonial theory. You can see

chapter three in cynical theories to see mine and Helen Pluckrose's treatment of

this leftist theory. This is what you will hear your typical leftist

agitators on college campuses referring to. This is the propaganda. Okay, so the NACPA, I'm not exactly positive, is in terms of what it represents.

There are at least two things that it represents, and I think it usually means both.
