While looking up articles online where the IDF is accused of “racism” by anti-Israel activists because its soldiers do not rape Palestinian women and girls, I came across the following bit of modish academic gobbledygook by some Israeli woman, no doubt angling for tenure, de cuyo nombre no quiero acordarme. Et tu, Israel?
Fellow connoisseurs of nonsense, please enjoy this Abstract. “‘No Woman’s Law Will Rot this State’: The Israeli Racial State and Feminist Resistance,” by
This paper employs social theory and empirical observation, juxtaposing Israel as a ‘racial state’ (Goldberg, 2002) and the concept of femina sacra, a female version of Agamben’s homo sacer or ‘bare life’ (Agamben, 1998), to think about some aspects of Israeli feminist peace activism since the onset of the second Intifada. Although Israeli feminist peace activism seems to discursively vacillate between essentialist motherhood narratives and subversive draft resistance practices, reading draft resistance narratives of young Israeli women conscripts, the paper tentatively suggests that where the state positions itself above morality, while evoking morality in its defence, feminist ‘peace activism’ in Israel/Palestine, though providing a potent counter-narrative to the Zionist narration of nation, does not destabilise the racial state, which is apparently gradually destroying itself while wilfully destroying its Others. I conclude by asking whether morally positioning itself in contrast to the racial state, such resistance can be theorised as gendered.
Even the dying words of Dutch Schultz make more sense.

This is incomprehensible gobbledygook. But there is the academic validity by the tongue in cheek use of the tentatively. That makes the entire paper a must read

Totally agree, blah blah blah blah where’s my money?

A.I. probably wrote this intellectual gibberish.

Ronit Lentin’s writings suggest that she could benefit from phenothiazines.

And to the keffiyeh wearing virtue signalling lefty hypocrites with the fake dolls…
Did you know………..
The GHARQAD TREE hadith SAHIH MUSLIM 2922
Did nobody tell you?
You’ll ask your muslim friends to confirm?
Oh you didn’t know “academic” RONIT LENTIN.
Are you OK with hamas/islam’s call to Genocide?
Do “academics”,like islamic “scholars” ever actually study the sources.It seems not.
It is hamas that has an actual GENOCIDE teaching.That’s what they were doing on oct 7th last
So know you know.
And if you shout “From the river to the sea”:you might need to replace the keffiyeh with a swastika because it means to exterminate the Jews.Funny that:people: who say they are antifascist behaving exactly like fascists and supporting…. islamofascists.No concept of Irony ,the left or the muslims[THE religion of peace.where’s the peace?}
But hey,Leftys do like a show…keffiyeh?fake doll?useless shouting?Let’s not spoil a lefty virtue signalling party with the Truth
The Gazan/hamas actually brought this all on themselves.
FYI says
Nobody cares about the Africans who say they are being genocided by muslims?
I just laugh at the keffiyeh wearing lefty hypocrites:so Africans don’t count?
One placard i saw says “Mothers against Genocide” but NOT Africans eh?
And the rape of women and kidnapping of Children by hamas ..i mean isn’t that a WAR CRIME.?
Those “innocent ” palestinians COLLUDED with WAR CRIMINALS:shouldn’t the ICJ bring them to account?
Ask a lefty to tell you what they think hamas did…was it evil ..and listen to them equivocate.

The delirious mobster made a lot more sense. The dying frequently call for their mothers, and he knew he was dying.
Reading this other stuff above, isn’t worth the time it takes to sneeze. The idiot knows nothing.

Here is another one of CAIR’s “press conferences” where one guy says Israel killed 209 of his family members.- https://youtu.be/tQJHVZdpH6I?si=3rf9zGnGY8bplxCR&t=15
Also present is Hoda Shubair – https://youtu.be/TgAptQUJQsY?si=uFrIyGovXrzDykO1&t=21
She is the wife of AMP-Chicago board of directors Alaa Abusamaan. – https://www.ampalestine.org/media/media-room/statements/amp-offers-condolences-shubair-and-abusamaan-families
She says her family has been in Gaza for over 800 years.
Of course the station is not even trying to verify these claims (just like in Minnesota).- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=afJJJSderUE
But, my favorite hard luck Palestinian story is about the guy that nursed from a dog. – https://youtu.be/qZMESb9BAQs?si=QNZMRkJHkNIoaS_s&t=1119
This has happened. It is possible, but why display this very personal family history on TV?
Still, even the Governor of New Jersey says Hamas started the war and has failed the Palestinian people. – https://youtu.be/n70khLcgSAc?si=gFvp2Eiw4_iKxIvk&t=248
Poor Palestinians. They just can’t catch a break.

What a joy, swimming in mental molasses. Soon to be another future “scholarly” book of academia that nobody reads.

Feminism, which divides the world into oppressive males and oppressed females, is a form of cultural Marxism, an illiberal ideology that requires coercive measures to enforce absolute equality of outcome, an unattainable goal. It has other dichotomies, such as straight versus gay (gay liberation), and white colonialists versus non-white victims (Palestinian liberation). Classical Marxism juxtaposes oppressive capitalists versus oppressed workers, but that has lost its appeal, particularly for Ivy League graduates trying to get hired on Wall Street.
Many Jews, having a Marxist background, and projecting the real Jewish history of oppression, are hooked in by the Palestinian victimhood scam, and champion this nonsense. Bernie Sanders is the Pope of all these Jewish suckers, and reigns supreme. Every Friday they gather below his window, hoping to get a glimpse of him and be blessed.

What a load of pseudo intellectual, pompous bullshit that drivel is. Who the fuck writes like that? The mind that comes up with such impenetrable drivel must be one hell of a mess. It seems like someone, in a case of the emperor has no clothes, has nothing of any worth to say and tries to cover that reality up by using endless pretentious words to cover up that fact that they have nothing worthwhile to say.
