‘Horowitz Lambastes Islam in Near-Empty Hall at Brown U.’

by on October 25, 2008 3

Here is a very beautiful headline in the Brown Daily Herald. The event was David Horowitz saying that the Palestinians were completely wrong, with no justice on their side at all, and Jimmy Carter is a Jew-hater, and Zionism is the only national liberation movement hated by the left, because the left is antisemitic. Horowitz must explain all the Jewish non-Zionists. Horowitz was once a lefty. The royal road to neoconservatism is Israel.

    When talking about the leftist hegemony within academic culture, Horowitz is absolutely correct; his Achilles' heel, of course, is Zionism/Israel/U.S. Middle Eastern policy. This only proves how difficult it is even for intelligent people
    to disentangle their emotions from their
    rational faculties when matters of identity
    (whether racial or religious) intrude into
    discussions of ideology or public policy.

    Hey, that Daily Herald reporter's name doesn't look Jewish! Let's get on the ball here, Brown. "Jewish subjects" require Jewish reporters, or there'll be pogroms for sure.

    "Horowitz, a Jewish writer and activist who holds adamantly pro-Israel views, said the purpose of his lecture … "

    My God! when was the last time you saw this rather salient characteristic mentioned about anybody? What's next, actually using the word Zionist in print?

    Always note the all-inclusive righteousness contained in
    the descriptive phrase "Pro-Israel."

    Very similar to the phrase "real American" in its usage.
