Professor's "Israel=Nazi" comparison worse than reported
by elder of ziyon Friday, Jun. 26, 2009 at 6:47 AM

http://elderofziyon.blogspot.com/2009/05/professors-israelnazi-comparison-worse.html



A university professor in Santa Barbara sent out an email message to his students equating Israel with Nazi Germany and Gaza with the Warsaw Ghetto.

The way it is being reported, it sounds like perhaps the professor was simply sending out some source material for his course:

Two students at the University of California-Santa Barbara say they were shocked when a professor compared Israeli actions to those of German Nazis.

University of California-Santa Barbara senior Rebecca Joseph said sociology Professor William I. Robinson acted inappropriately when he sent students a message comparing Israel's Gaza offensive to the Holocaust, the Los Angeles Times said Thursday.

And Robinson characterizes it the same way:

“My right in accordance with the Code ‘to present controversial material relevant to a course of instruction’ is being flagrantly violated and I am under harassment,” Robinson said in a makeshift press release. “The essence of the students’ complaint, as they themselves state it, is that my introduction of material into my course critical of Israeli state policy constitutes anti-Semitism, and this is the only argument made by the complainants to substantiate their charge of anti-Semitism.”

But when you look at the details, it is much, much worse:

The contents of that e-mail, which Robinson reportedly sent to students on Martin Luther King Day and ran under the heading “Parallel images of Nazis and Israelis,“ included 42 side-by-side photos (like the one at left) that have made Robinson the focus of an academic investigation.

Here’s a portion of what he wrote:

I am forwarding some horrific, parallel images of Nazi atrocities against the Jews and Israeli atrocities against the Palestinians. Perhaps the most frightening are not those providing a graphic depiction of the carnage but that which shows Israeli children writing “with love” on a bomb that will tear apart Palestinian children.

Gaza is Israel’s Warsaw - a vast concentration camp that confined and blockaded Palestinians, subjecting them to the slow death of malnutrition, disease and despair, nearly two years before their subjection to the quick death of Israeli bombs. We are witness to a slow-motion process of genocide (Websters: “the systematic killing of, or a program of action intended to destroy, a whole national or ethnic group”), a process whose objective is not so much to physically eliminate each and every Palestinian than to eliminate the Palestinians as a people in any meaningful sense of the notion of people-hood.

Do professors normally send out 42 pictures of something to prove a point? Robinson didn't find these pictures himself; he was clearly copying things from anti-Israel websites on the Internet

It's not Genocide?
by Andrew Friday, Jun. 26, 2009 at 1:49 PM

If Raphael Lemkin's definition of genocide is used, either as found in the Convention or in his writings, Israel is judged to be engaged in genocide against the Palestinians.

"Genocide has two phases: one, destruction of the national pattern of the oppressed group; the other, the imposition of the national pattern of the oppressor. This imposition, in turn, may be made upon the oppressed population which is allowed to remain or upon the territory alone, after removal of the population and the colonization by the oppressor's own nationals."

This is what Israel has done and is doing in Palestine. So how exactly is Robinson's email wrong?

Andrew, intellectual Krakatoa
by R2-45 Friday, Jun. 26, 2009 at 1:53 PM

For the record, Andrew is Scientologist fecal matter, and since Israel takes a dim view of Scientology, under the rules of the murderous and litigious cult's "fair game" Scientologists are allowed, nay encouraged to demonize Israel.

Then Palestine is engaging in genocide

Then that means the palestinians are engaging in genocide of the Israelis, too.
Yeah, its a ridiculous definition.

soon whoever is reading your crap, and how it's letting the readership see what zionists are like, the lobby will tell you to cease because you're drawing too much light on their lying evil and racism.
Don't worry, you're doing fine in this respect.
However, soon even the cataonic collective here [ if they are alive ] will wake up and block your ass. Otherwise they should just find some kind of constructive work 'cause they're blowing it here.

A shame
by dan Sunday, Jun. 28, 2009 at 2:01 AM

Shame that we have guys like this get to be professors, and teach our young generation the wrong things, with lies included.

This monster should not be allowed to teach a dog anything, not to talk about students. His kind of sick puppies is where Hitler came from.

Take away his computer, and stick him somewhere he can not harm anyone with his sick ideas.

lies lies and more lies
by Dan Sunday, Jun. 28, 2009 at 2:11 AM

Of course you took only the pictures and drawings that kids in Gaza made (they teach them that in school, how to hate Israel), you did not go to see what Israeli kids draw, like rockets that hit their homes, and buses that explode in mid city, who does that ? the Jews too ? no, the Hamas, your friends.

hate is learned, not taught
by Schooling Dan Sunday, Jun. 28, 2009 at 6:58 AM

Hating their occupier is a consequence of the horror they have endured at the hands of Israel.
Pure and simple, like the hate they must endure as their lives are ground into misery and depravation while Israel pretends it's 'hate'.
If we read the comments from the Israel firsters, we can see what hate is all about.

Is there any lie 'anti-zionists' won't tell? Any conflict produces gory casualties, but only "Palestinians" distribute their photos of the dead andinjured as a propaganda exercise.

Palestinians aren't above killing their children for a photo-op either.

Don't believe me? Sounds insane? Okay, so where else could a woman be stoned to death for being raped?

Islam is medieval insanity, and there's nothing, absolutely nothing they won't lower themselves to.

they even taught the nazis how to do it.
From genocide to collective punishment. The zionists tutored thr nazis well.
Did you not look up Nazis +zionists
?
Other than that, what's your problem? Bad PR? That's what happens even with a bought and paid for mass media. Of course the squealing of 'Pallywood' will be shouted without any evidence of it anywhere one looks, but facts and history are immutable despite the wailing, shrieking and hair pulling histrionics.
