SIDEBAR:

Why did Dr. Nathan Hare and Robert Chrisman break up the (Original) Black Scholar Journal?

Nathan Hare and Robert Chrisman had a significant falling out that led to the breakup of the Black Scholar journal due to a combination of personal, ideological, and professional differences.

Ideological Differences: Hare and Chrisman had differing views on the direction and purpose of the journal. Their disagreements included issues related to race, identity, and the focus of the publication, which ultimately influenced their editorial decisions.
Leadership Conflicts: Both individuals had strong personalities and visions for the journal, which led to conflicts over leadership and editorial control. As they struggled for influence, their relationship became strained.
Personal Relationships: The breakdown of their professional partnership was also affected by personal tensions. Disagreements escalated into personal conflicts, which made collaboration increasingly difficult.
Cultural Context: The broader cultural and political environment of the time, particularly during the civil rights movement, played a role in their differing perspectives. Each was influenced by the evolving discourse around race and politics, leading to diverging editorial priorities.
Editorial Vision: Their differing visions for the journal’s content and readership contributed to the eventual split. Each wanted to take the journal in a different direction, which made it challenging to maintain a cohesive publication.
Capsule: It was about Marxism vs Black Nationalism, I think, and thus, Chrisman’s obvious vitriol towards Harold Cruse’s ideological analysis. interesting enough , I’ve heard Chairman Omali teach in multiple lectures that marxism was nothing more than another form of white nationalism. Again, “the more things change the more they stay the same.” (See: RBG Tools of Analysis Page)

Gaza: World court orders Israel to halt military operations in Rafah | ICJ | United Nations

Description: May 24, 2024
The International Court of Justice (ICJ) on Friday issued new provisional measures that order Israel to immediately end military operations in Rafah in southern Gaza and to open the governate’s border crossing for urgent aid deliveries. This follows a request from South Africa in a pending case accusing Israel of violating its obligations under the Genocide Convention. Reading the new provisional measures in an open session at the court in The Hague, ICJ Justice Nawaf Salam announced that Israel must abide by its obligations under the Genocide Convention to “immediately halt its military offensive and any other action in the Rafah governate which may inflict upon the Palestinian group in Gaza conditions of life that would bring about its physical destruction in whole and in part”. The court issued that decision by 13 votes in favour to two against. The new provisional measures came in response to South Africa’s request made on 10 May related to its initial accusations in December that Israel is violating its obligations under the Genocide Convention during the war in Gaza, which broke out after Hamas-led attacks on Israel in October that killed more than 1,200 people and left another 250 taken hostage. Israel’s military response has, to date, killed nearly 36,000 Palestinians and caused widespread destruction and a looming famine in the besieged and bombarded enclave.
