She alleged that since the sackings she had been the victim of a hate campaign

Poor gal. Same thing happened to Hitler.

Baker and her researchers discovered that two translations of the same text are never the same. Just as researchers have different perspectives and explanations on the same material, translators are no different.

Good point.

Well, this is generally true, no? Perhaps you mean the practice of "altering power discourses" or whatever to politicize translation?

SNICKER! You have a way with words, dennisw :-))

[swarthyguy]

You would think.....but no! Even the leftist Jews are being ostracized. Granted, it is a private journal, but the hypocrisy - it's because they're Jews not Israelis.

The Arab Socio/Political/Cultural Jihad takes another step.

Prof John Garside, the vice-chancellor of UMIST, distanced himself from the debate. Even though Prof Baker uses UMIST’s logo in her promotional material for the journals, he said: “The position of UMIST is that the two journals Prof Baker is involved with have nothing to do with UMIST.

“These are activities that she is involved with in her own time. What happens on those journals and the editorial policy on those journals are entirely a matter for those journals. It’s an issue that we are dealing with internally and not something I want to make any public statement about at this stage.”

Mealy-mouthed Chicken sh!it.

"two translations of the same text are never the same."

That's why some are considered better than others; sometimes the word 'definitive' is attached to certain translations.

Mona,

I hear that there is a hate campaign going on against you? And all you did was sack a couple of stinking Jewish dogs? You try to help with the Jewish problem, and all you get is grief! What's the world coming to when you can't even harass the sons of pigs and apes anymore?

My best wishes are with you, Mona. Oh, let me list a few:
... may racists drive the Egyptians from the UK (for noble cause, of course)
... may the world consider them as virtuous as you consider yourself
... may they whine about those who have the nerve to disagree with them
... may the world actually give them the pity you seek for yourself.

How can you exercise such base racist hatred, and then have the audacity to portray yourself as a victim? You want pity? Get in line behind Hitler, you hypocrite.

How much do you want to bet that Prof. Baker is a protege of Noam Chomsky?

You mean "Known Commsky?"

This guy couldn't find his balls with a microscope...

Nice work.

Nothing good has come from Egypt since Moses.

[Shermy]

What about the Stargate?

[dennisw]

I'm a poet at heart :)

[WaterDragon]

It sounds like the liberals are eating each other over Israel.

[dennisw]

Yeah...what about that StarGate? Those heathen beliefs roll up a lot of juice when millions belive in them.

[watchin]

Speaking of Moses ... when are the Jews gonna get THEIR reparations???

My letter to Mona Baker. I am still debating whether to send it or not it is worthless since she probably stopped reading a mail since she was part of a "hate campaign" (what a paradox, a hate campaign against racism and discrimination)

Dear Mona,

You complain about Israel being a "racist state", but yet dismiss 2 scholars them because of their nationality. It gets even worse how these scholars absolutely opposed their nations 'racist' practices but you still felt the need to dismiss them.

Even if they felt indifferent on the subject of Israeli's 'racism', why would they need to be sacked? Just because you come from a certain country makes you ineligible because that country is corrupt?

You state that "many people in Europe have sigend a boycott against Israel". Do you think they were reffering to those scholars that dislike their countries practices? Do you think they were boycotting the citizens? No, they were boycotting Ariel Sharon's government that they felt was corrupt and racist. You complain about racism, yet discriminate based on nationality regardless on that persons feelings about their countries corrupt actions, and when people call you out on it you take the victim.

Maybe you should realize your hypocrisy and understand why you are part of a "hate" campaign.
