I think part of the problem is that there are people so invested in being (or certainly appearing) unequivocally possessed of/by cutting-edge PC orthodoxy that they might as well be radical Muslims like Hamas, at least in principle. In other words, it's extremism as virtue, as identity and as would-be validation, though there can also be an element of opportunism as well as fear. Talk about twisted.
The Guernica magazine is not simply a literary journal in the usual sense but "dedicated to global arts and politics," or more precisely, "focused on the intersection of arts and politics." It obviously matters.
It seems vaguely ironic, if not apropos, that the publication in question is named after Picasso's most famous political picture, though Picasso's politics (salon communist, or "sentimental" communist according to his socialist Paris dealer) were nothing if not questionable (albeit eminently fashionable among contemporary European intellectuals and artists).
Israelis are demons who mass murder children, bomb hospitals, bomb apartment buildings, strafe food convoys. Literally billions of people are watching this very closely and we do hate you, and we will get revenge for the children you people have mass murdered. You will be made to suffer just like the people of Gaza have suffered. It will make the mid century Austrian painter look like mother Theresa.

Kudos, kudos.
