Later in the week I will have more to say about the Palesimian who murdered five innocent Jews including a three month old baby. Today is dedicated to another leftist Jew making excuses for the defective Arabs who contribute nothing positive to anyone in the world anywhere.
My column on the latest liberal Jew needing cranial-glutial extraction surgery can be found at Front Page Mag and Campus Watch.

Like masochists who marry sadists, this professor should just get adopted by a Palesimian family and be done with it.

Sometimes I think you guys over at Campus Watch et al just nit pick everything to death to make your points.
Rosen opens with this posit:
“The Israeli-Palestinian conflict, while often seen as a battle over territory, is simultaneously a struggle over history and contested memories.”
That’s it. That’s the context. He’s not arguing politics. He’s talking about psychology.
He then posits this:
“I begin by analyzing a series of events in 2004-2005 when Israeli settlers wore Holocaust-era armbands in order to create a media spectacle and protest the government-ordered withdrawal of certain settlements from the Occupied Territories. I situate these events in the larger context of the historical development of Holocaust awareness in Israel in order to argue that the territorialization of Holocaust memory is not simply a cynical political rhetoric, but must be viewed as a traumatic form of memory discourse that reproduces historical violence.”
He’s talking about how memories of the Holocaust are being projected onto the Settlement issue.
Finally:
“In the second half of my talk I analyze oppositional mobilizations of traumatic memory: in the testimonial practices of Israeli army veterans and ‘refuseniks’ who publicize their own memories of violence—as soldiers and perpetrators—in order to contest the actions and presence of the state of Israel in the Occupied Territories. Here I show how traumatic memory discourses are constructed in order to enable an ethical form of self-critique. The goal of my analysis is to highlight both the political dilemmas and ethical possibilities of traumatic memory discourses and to argue that any attempt to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian territorial conflict requires addressing the traumatic dimensions of memory discourses.”
Here he’s saying that in any realistic attempt to deal with the Israel/Palestine situation, we must try to cope with the way people see the past and each other, as it relates to the situtation and as it doesn’t.
This is an academic exercize, not a cabal. Give it rest already. You Campus Watch guys are getting a little loony.

Thats it Jersey…minimize real threats as if were idiots.
You conveniently left out a ton of quotes that change your vselective context.
I read the article.
You’re a cherry pickin dweeb.
You should be ashamed for supporting some shrink who minimizes legitimate fears as something irrational on the part of a people clearly pursued out of hatred for decades.
Theres one shrink out there who’d no doubt rip this rookies arse a new one…Krauthammer
Liberal Jews make as much sense as liberal Catholics and screen doors on submarines.
They’re freaking hypocritical abomination
i have spoken to dozens of Jewish Americans, as well as hundreds of
non-Jews, in my lifetime.
Rarely, do I meet a gentile who favors his own destruction, or that of his family.
Gentiles typically raise the American flag on holidays.
Gentiles celebrate their holidays with gusto…Christmas and Easter
especially.
Muslims pray several time/day to Allah..and are not timid about
not eating pork or their method of prayer.
What can I say about most Jews?
Many leftist, pro-Palestinian Americans are Jewish, at least
at birth. Whether they follow it later in life is problematic.
Tikkun Olam is often heard from rabbi pulpits..especially the Reform.
It literally means, “repair the world” by the “chosen people”.
Yeah, right, and I will sorship Joseph Smith as the latter day saint.
From J Street to Ameicans For Peace Now, there are foolish people
who actually believe the Palestinian goal is only to force Israel to the 67 cease fire lines.
Every moderate and radical Arab group has encouraged Jihad against
the Jews and Infidels ( Christians). Listen to them..go to their websites,
read their books, subscribe to their publications online for proof.
Hitler said he would break the necks of every Jew if Germany was attacked. My fellow Jews thought him a joker. They lived to regret it.
6m Jews died..and 6m Germans, before the war over.
Today, 22 Arab nations want Palestine, all of it. w/o Jews.
And Obama, by doing nothing concrete, is aiding. Attacking
Libya, with no absolute goal of bringing down the regime, is
futile, as the Borgs say.
Obama campaigned on our vacating Iraq and later leaving Afghanitan.
Now we hear that we may need troops there indefinitely.
Pakistan hates US, except our money.
The entire Arab world laughs at US…
I ask, where are Arab League planes in this fight?
Why are we defending one group of Arabs against another?
And it the so-called leftist protestors take over Libya, then what?
Will the Muslim Brotherhood join forces with them, in Egypt?
Then what?
They have already indicated terminating any agreement with the
Zionist state. That means tanks moving to the border, opening up
the Strip to Iranian weoponry, and perhaps stationing Iranian/Turkish
troops alongside the Negev.
And who is to blame for all this, you guessed it, our erstwhile Pres
now in Brazalia..drinking toasts.
And where is Sarah Pallin..in Tel Aviv, scolding the Jews for being
so apologetic…( while the Fogel family is being buried thanks to
a timid Israel).
Is there a G-d? Stay tuned.
