Another session of Tankie Group Therapy featuring the old crew: @justinpodur, @norabf, @karaokecomputer, @rosendo_joe, @alexander_avina, and Urorientalist.The session seemed to revolve mostly around Ansarallah ("Houthis") statements after they attacked Tel Aviv and were bombed by Israeli F-35s. The disconnect between their response and Western solidarity. And then we got the news of Biden stepping down, so some quick reactions to that at the end. Watch the video edition on Justin's

2024/07/01

On June 18, The Baffler published an article by Mary Turfah called "Running Amok" in which Mary tried to understand the psychology underlying Israeli troops and citizens' production of trophy videos and photos we have been seeing during the war. Our therapy group (@justinpodur, @norabf, @karaokecomputer, @rosendo_joe, @louis_allday, @alexander_avina), got together with Mary to talk through the article and use it to understand the Israeli mentality that has left us stunned for all these months.
