Jewbonics was founded during the winter massacre in Gaza of 2008–2009. The proprietor of Jewbonics is Max Ajl:poet, essayist, rabblerouser, and candidate for a Master’s degree in political science at the Latin American Faculty of Social Sciences–Ecuador. I’m from Brooklyn, based in Cairo/Gaza [hopefully!] for the 
time being, am 25, and have picked up a degree from an obscure northeastern liberal arts college that’s proven a bit of a failure at keeping me in steady employment. When I’m not blogging, I’m engaged in slightly more serious writing for various fora, mostly unpaid, sometimes paid, tutoring the LSAT, drafting an MA thesis on peasant mobilization in Brazil and Venezuela, playing soccer, squirrel-hunting in Prospect Park, and organizing resistance to Israeli policies.
This blog’s content is obviously centered on Zionism, Israel, Palestine, and the siege of Gaza. But when I’m feeling sunny, I write about the nexus of climate change, agriculture, and development, which makes me less testy, unless Obama is sermonizing.
What the fans think:
Chomsky on the Gaza Freedom March:
Despite the media blackout, which is a disgrace, this is turning out to be a really spectacular triumph, I think, and it’s hard to express properly my admiration and respect for those who are directly engaged.
Some anonymous asshole on Max Ajl:
What’s annoying is that you call yourself “Jewbonics” as if you connect somehow your religion and ethnicity and your politics. It’s the same thing with Norman finklestein. Most of his comments, if made by a “non jewish son of holocaust survivors”, would have no merit. Unlike Noam Chomsky whom one might disagree with but can see the flawed logic he uses, you seek to bring attention to yourself by the simple fact that you are a “jew” and ardently against a “jewish state”. Pathetic if you ask me.
