Uncritical Exuberance? Judith Butler’s take on Obama
“we finally have one of us in the White House”
It's understandable why she's a self-hating Jew. She was probably raised at least somewhat traditionally Jewish, and when she decided she was a lesbian, she had all sorts of problems dealing with that, and probably felt deep down that she was doing wrong. So rather than learning to live with her personal choices, she needed to place the blame for her personal, emotional pain, which she blamed on her Jewish heritage. So what better way to "get even with that which causes her pain" than to try to destroy the Jewish homeland, and side with the people who want to exterminate the Jews.
