Original Note:
The post says that Butler "claims" Hamas & Hezbollah are progressive movements (present tense); however, that statement is from 2006. Butler has recently put out a different statement in which she writes: "I do condemn without qualification the violence committed by Hamas." https://isgap.org/post/2023/10/judith-butler-and-the-normalization-of-hamas-and-hezbollah-within-progressive-social-movements/ https://www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v45/n20/judith-butler/the-compass-of-mourning
