Though Jewish, Loewenstein harbors a caustic hatred for Israel, a nation she views as an illegitimate entity with no right to exist. At the same time, she sees Palestinians as innocents, relentlessly oppressed and brutalized by violent, sadistic Jews. Both themes feature in an article that Loewenstein wrote on January 2, entitled “If Hamas Did Not Exist.” In it, she wrote that “[t]he state terror unleashed from the skies and on the ground [by Israel] against the Gaza Strip…has nothing to do with Hamas…nothing to do with ‘Terror’…or the long-term ‘security’ of the Jewish State.” Rather it is a manifestation of Israel’s quest to achieve “the wholesale enslavement” of Palestinians who “dare” to claim their “sovereign rights” and seek to free themselves from the Jewish “Empire’s obscene military bases sitting on [their] cherished land.” In her view, Israel’s latest military campaign is rooted entirely in a “naked desire” for “hegemony,” “power over the weak,” and “dominion over the world’s wealth.” In the final analysis, she concluded, “Israel has no intention of allowing a viable, sovereign Palestinian state on its borders.”
On other occasions, Loewenstein has characterized the Israelis as “masters in the art of destruction” who seek to “devastate” and “decimate” Palestinian society with “record-breaking violations of international law and basic human morality”; who conduct ruthless campaigns of “state-sponsored terror” marked by “killing,” “maiming,” “atrocities,” and “bloody and sadistic torture”; and who, “under a hideous veneer of ‘security needs,’” are waging “a greedy imperial war” that inflicts “on-going brutality and barbarism” upon Palestinian civilians. Lamenting that “Gazans have not yet attained the status of human” in Israeli eyes, Loewenstein declares that Israel “and its US Master” now reside in “the lowest circle of Hell for betraying the name of humanity.”
Loewenstein characterizes Israel’s current war against Hamas, not as a battle for national survival, but “another excuse to destroy Palestine.” She wonders, with seeming bewilderment, “why Hamas, which won power in free, fair and transparent democratic elections has been deemed a criminal terrorist organization” by Israel. She suggests that Israeli officials are privately “grateful” whenever any of their countrymen die as a result of a Hamas-launched Qassam rocket (thousands of which have rained down upon southern Israel in recent years), because such casualties supposedly furnish Israel with a pretext for reigniting its “angry flames of intolerance” and assembling a “racially pure dreamland” devoid of Arabs. Moreover, Loewenstein contends, the Qassams themselves are outgrowths of the “systematic national torture and evisceration” which the Palestinians allegedly have long endured at the hands of Israel. Noting that Hamas stands as “the most popular of the opposition groups in Palestine today,” Loewenstein says that any effort to destroy the organization would be immoral and counterproductive, causing “the further erosion of democratic civil society in Palestine and elsewhere.”
“Though Jewish, Loewenstein harbors a caustic hatred for Israel, a nation she views as an illegitimate entity with no right to exist. “
Just another self-hating westerner, taught by her professors and politically correct culture that the meanest, vilest third world piece of two legged filth is the moral equivalent of westerners.
Ms. Lowenstein would re-appraise her appraisal of Islam were she to conver to Islam,marry one of these freaks, and locate to Turkey, Iran, etc.
Ahahahahah...and what would a guy hiding in the womb of a classroom know about it?? Sorry, most of us aren’t 18 year kids so easily awed by your “glorious intellect”.
The Jews over the centuries have been oppressed for good reason. They’re a race of beady eyed thieves!
-Eric Cartman (who sounds like a lib to me)
I’d like to see how a similarly organized “aid flotilla” aimed at Turkey, not to mention Iran, would fare . . .
Q.E.D.
I wonder if she voted for 0bama?
It WAS a “carefully planned action” - by Hamas.
And it WAS subsidized by a government - the Turkish government.
Jennifer (Sarin) Loewenstein is a Madison, Wisconsin, political activist and a faculty associate in the Middle East Studies Program at the University of Wisconsin–Madison, an administrative, not an academic, appointment.
The wikipedia article this is taken from is not unbiased (against) the "professor":
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jennifer_Loewenstein
Of course, for Iran TV News, the fact that she is not a real professor and that her "facts" are wrong are just unimportant minor details.
Well, Jews excel at everything including hating Jews. Just like Barry, it takes an American to really hate Americans. Jennifer should move to Gaza to be among those she loves.
I just want to know; what were the bats for? The Humanitarian Baseball League. Shoot, in California you would face arrest for possessing a baseball bat without a “legitimate” reason. Also, yelling death to Israel doesn’t sound very passive. True peace activists (i.e. Gandhi) would take the beating.
Par for the course in the Moscow on Mendota...
Just like Kevin Barret who blamed Israel and the US for 9/11 a few years ago.
