(Columbia Professor) Massad's Theory: The Zionists Are The Anti-Semites

The Palestinian intifada against Israel may have been a blessing in disguise for Jews, according to a Columbia University assistant professor, Joseph Massad.

Mr. Massad, who teaches in the university's Middle East studies department, argues in a recently published essay that Palestinian Arab "resistance" against Israelis is not anti-Semitic but an expression of goodwill toward Jews living in the Jewish state.

Mr. Massad in his writings and teaching has articulated the view that Zionists have adopted the identity of the anti-Semite and Palestinians have taken on a Jewish identity. In one of his latest essays, in the Winter 2005 issue of the scholarly journal Cultural Critique, Mr. Massad argues that Palestinian resistance is a struggle against anti-Semitism and that Israel as a Jewish state represents the most vicious form of anti-Semitism.

"The irony of an anti-Semitic Zionism depicting the Palestinians as the real anti-Semites is not a simply rhetorical move, but instead is crucial to Zionism's fashioning of Jewish public opinion, both in Israel and on a global scale," Mr. Massad writes in the essay, "The Persistence of the Palestinian Question."

Palestinian terrorists have killed more than 700 Israeli civilians since the outbreak of the second Palestinian intifada in the fall of 2000, according to the Web site of the Israel Defense Force.

Something bothers me about this "Turnspeak" article and analysis. It smacks of some new-age rationale and reasoning which completely obscures what the Arabs and their media allies are doing: LYING ABOUT EVERYTHING.

It almost seems as if the article is saying that "Turnspeak" is part of Arab Culture, so we must accept it.

Among these people, you can't find the truth with a magnifying glass. Everything they say is manufactured out of thin air (luft). The real tragedy is the media buys so much of this garbage.

Their main objective of course is to get rid of Israel and the Jews any way they can, whatever it takes, with a little help from CNN.

I think you are right. That good turnspeak arguments are considered clever with the Arabs.

Parents spend billions of dollars each year to educate their children and they get turned over to some moronic neanderthal like this, with the IQ of a cucumber .

We need to scrap the whole system of higher learning and start over again with the one room cabin and a chalk board and see if we can get it right.

We couldn't be much worse off.

I guess Israel is showing it's affection in return. And here I been worried all this time about war, and they are really having a big love-in over there.

But now I see that I am the anti-semit! Wow those are astonishing news for me, I didn't know that I hate Jews, considering the fact that I am a Jewish Zionist myself...

Massad, I hope the Mossad is after you.
