Sara Roy, a child of Holocaust survivors and a Middle East researcher at Harvard, has not signed the divestment petition but is seen as an ally in the movement because of a Holocaust Remembrance Lecture she gave this year and published last month. In the speech, she said: ''For my mother and father, Judaism meant bearing witness, railing against injustice, and forgoing silence. ... What sort of meaning do we as Jews derive from the debasement and humiliation of Palestinians?''

I like the one above. No room for G_d it seems in her and her folk's version of Judaism. But plenty of room to use weary clichés such as humiliation of Palestinians. I may not be Harvard material but I know enough to avoid clichés.

Yeh, I noted that too. As much as my heart aches for every Holocaust victim, I have to remember that many of them were fairly G-dless even before the war. Enlightenment meant acceptance, which in turn meant mimicking the Christian world of Germany. No surprise that her folks sound like a product of the modern Reform temple.

I noticed also how shallow her thought process was. Rather disappointing for an Ivy League school, isn't it? I know, I am repeating what you said so much better than I did.
