I've been following things that Ali Abunimah writes for several years now. I once met him at a party. He's fantastic.

One of the reasons why I like him is that he is an amazing academic- but he also has a great sense of humor.

On Facebook today, he summed up this article he wrote by saying "The Arab League's a mess. Let's bring back The Human League."

I'm only Human, so I'm jealous of your Fascination with Ali. Don't you want me, baby?

I am a fan! When he spoke in Berkeley a year or so ago i decided to be an ali abunimah fan girl. people who are really articulate when they're furious are my very favorite.

They can play "Keep Feelin' Fascination" until everyone gets along!
