Chomsky and the Jewish er I mean Gilmore Girl Problem

by Steven Plaut

Noam Chomsky, the discredited linguistics professor at MIT, is one of the worst anti-Semites on earth.  Son of a Jewish Hebrew teacher, Chomsky is a dogmatic Stalinist who hates Jews, Israel and the United States.  He considers the United States a worse regime than Nazi Germany.  He is closely associated with Holocaust Deniers and wrote the  sycophantic introduction to a book promoting Holocaust Denial by Robert Faurrison, a French Holocaust Denier.   He endorses terror attacks against Jews.  He leads the campaign of support for Neo-Nazi Norman Finkelstein. He was the main apologist within the United States for the Khmer Rouge regime of Pol Pot while it was committing genocide against its own citizens.  So naturally he was given a royal reception when cordially hosted a few years back by Ben Gurion University.

The world's greatest collection of anti-Chomsky material on the web can now be found here .   In particular, take a look at this and at this.

By the way, this is hardly the world's most pressing matter, but I really resented the fact that the Jewish girl in the Gilmore Girls TV series has a poster of Noam Chomsky on the wall of her dorm room.  No - it is not a show I ordinarily watch, but when I am on a treadmill in the gym I look for TV shows to watch that do not require deep thought because my brain is not getting much oxygen.  (Of course many professors in Israel have brains that NEVER get any oxygen!)

And in one of the episodes of Gilmore Girls assaulting me upon the treadmill, Paris (played by a Jewish actress), the neurotic Jewish girlfriend of the younger Gilmette, has a huge poster of the Chomsky on the wall of her dorm room. A neurotic Jewish coed having a pretentious name who likes arch-Stalinist anti-Semite Noam Chomsky?  Talk about offensive ethnic stereotyping! 

For more on this atrocity, see this.

Here is the dialogue from one episode of Gilmore Girls:

Gilmettes

PARIS: I'm not alone.
JANET: Oh, really? Who do you have besides your poster of Noam Chomsky?
PARIS: Who do I have?
JANET: Yeah. [Paris begins to speak but falls silent.] That's what I thought.  Very sad.
[Janet exits to her bedroom. Paris stomps off to her own bedroom, followed by Rory.]
PARIS: I'm gonna grab Barbie's neck and squeeze until her expandable hair falls out and she's dead, dead, dead!
(kind of like Noam Chomsky's Khmer Rouge friends affectionately squeezing the life out of hundreds of thousands of Cambodians?)

Iran Dictator Upsets Columbia University's Rais

by Steven Plaut


Ahmadinejad, you went too far this time for Bollinger!
Don't you just love how Columbia University President Lee Bollinger was all in favor of giving Mahmoud Ahmadinejad free speech on campus just as long as he was merely demonizing Dem Joos and denying the Holocaust? After all, free speech and democracy and all. It is good to let everyone have their say. Bollinger has a long history of defending campus faculty jihadniks. 

Ahmadinejad, you went too far this time for Bollinger!   

But then Ahmadinejad goes and upsets the President of the university that long hosted Edward Said, the professor of terror, and is sometimes known as the Madrassa of the Upper West Side.   Bro' Mahmoud had the temerity to diss the gays, and at Columbia U no less! What chutzpa! Suddenly in Bollinger’s opinion Ahmmadinejad becomes a "petty, cruel dictator."   Well, okay, Bollinger actually called him that before Old Ahmad opined about the gays and the femmes.  But let us keep in mind that Bollinger has a long history of toadying before Islamofascists.  Just consider his cowardly behavior with regard to the non-firing of Joseph Massad.

When asked about gay folks in Iran, CNN reports: 'Asked about widely documented government abuse of women and homosexuals in his country, Ahmadinejad said, "We don't have homosexuals" in Iran. "I don't know who told you we had it," he said.'   No Bahais either?   Maybe even no women?  (Beneath those black hoods are cross-dressers with moustaches!)

Oh dear. You realize what this means? This might actually alienate the leftist moonbats who so adore Iran, and disrupt the Axis of Evil that links leftism with Islamofascism! Tikkun Magazine and Meretz might be forced to renounce their sympathies for Iran.

Where will it lead?

Not in Ahmadinajed's back yard!

Will Yuli Tamir Start a War with Egypt?

by Steven Plaut

But ma'am, I do not WANT that done to me!
 

Madame Tamir is a great fan of the "Clitoridectomy."
I know this is really going to upset the Israeli Minister of Education. But the New York Times reported Sept. 20, 07 that there are people in Egypt opposed to female "circumcision," meaning female genital mutilation.
 
In Egypt the procedure is done under filthy conditions and sometimes results in the death of young girls (it is done to them when they are 13 years old). The Times reports: "A nationwide campaign to stop the practice has become one of the most powerful social movements in Egypt in decades, uniting an unlikely alliance of government forces, official religious leaders and street-level activists. Though Egypt's Health Ministry ordered an end to the practice in 1996, it allowed exceptions in cases of emergency, a loophole critics describe as so wide that it effectively rendered the ban meaningless. But now the government is trying to force a comprehensive ban."
 
The NY Times article gets more graphic from there, but I will spare you the details.
 
Now why will this news upset Israel's Minister of Education, Yuli Tamir, better known for introducing school programs in Arab schools that teach that Israel's very existence is a "Naqba" or catastrophe?
 
Madame Tamir is a great fan of the "Clitoridectomy." That word means what you think it means. Eleven years ago she published an article endorsing and defending the practice, and denouncing those narrow-minded Western racists who express disgust at it. The problem is not the "Clitoridectomy," insists Tamir in that article, but the intolerable denunciations of it by patriarchal bigoted women-hating Westerners who fail to respect the cultural practices of "The Other."  For more citations from Tamir's rant, go to this web page.     Go to fullsize image
 
You realize what this means?  While Israel's relations with Egypt are not very good, once Tamir starts denouncing the Egyptians who criticize and oppose female genital mutilation, THAT will enrage Egypt and could even trigger a new all-out Middle East war!!  True, Egypt got very angry, diplomatically-speaking, when Israeli comedian Eli Yatzpen made fun of President Mubarak on TV, but that is nothing! Egypt might attack Israel with missiles to force Tamir's removal if Israelis do not fire the educational airhead themselves!!
