Academics'
Paper
on Israel Lobby Blasted by Israel Lobbyby
4/5/06
Associated Press writer, Jay Lindsay re-blasted the now infamous
academic paper criticizing the Israel Lobby. Acting as cover-editor pro
temp, and citing a blast from nebulous vectors, he amplified the blast
by prefacing the paper with a gushing review by David Duke.
Lindsay presented the platonic finger trap that Stephen Walt and John
Mearshimer are inextricably bound to David Duke for publishing that
"pro-Israel special interest groups have manipulated the the U.S." into
setting policies that constitute international welfare payments for
countries unable to wage war on their own. The argument is not
obscure, but to print it is forbidden under various Sanhedrin
rulings. Lindsay has portrayed the paper as getting accolades
only from Nazis and receiving abuse and intellectual poundings from the
rest of the academic world, i.e. Alan Dershowitz.
The paper titled "The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy" was
published on the John F. Kennedy Skool of Government Web site late last
month, prompting people to blow Ewok calls on their Shofars, call for
firings, and to set up trust funds to educate a generation of Yeshiva
students to tie this paper into a black box, wear it on their heads,
and dedicate themselves to polemic dialectics to be issued at the
Western Wall of the JFK Skool for the next 2000 years.
The ADL's Abe Foxman promptly condemned the paper as being "classic"
and a "canard" (which is French for duck). He stopped short of
proclaiming it
"unacceptable," and did not issue the order "revoco." Their
sister organization, the JDL has not decided to kill any Congressmen
yet. Barnes and
Noble has not been called yet to stock Dershowitz' rebuttal on the
shelves before the other paper hits the Harvard Press.
Alan Dershowitz came up with the "David Duke" diss, and Jay Lindsay of
AP copied it down furiously. Lindsay repeated that Kennedy Skool
is embarassed, and stopped just short of insinuating that Kennedy Skool
would see a drop in stock price, or that Jews would leave the Kennedy
Skool in mass exodus. For now they are still accredited, but one
double-door will be removed from the Passover list this year.
The dean of the Kennedy Skool, David Ellwood said the paper should sink
or swim in the marketplace of ideas. When he said "marketplace" a
few people got boners and began a boycott planning committee.
Mearsheimer predicted that anyone who openly criticizes the Israel
Lobby runs the risk of being called an anti-semite. So people
called him an anti-semite for saying that. Walt on the other hand
didn't want to talk to anybody.
Lindsay was careful to describe the contents of the paper with prefaces
like "the author's contend," "some folks say," and "one might be
inclined to believe." He wore rubber globes while handling the
paper, and it is not known yet if the paper will be conferred to the
Nizkor Project to be held as evidence for when the sky falls and man is
held to judgement in the rebuilt Temple of Jerusalem.
Lindsay did list a few of the claims of the paper, promptly following
them up with another accolade from David Duke. It was good Mal
Sharpe editing. He covered his ass by printing a disclaimer by
Mearshimer that David Duke is a wanker.
Dershowitz peed on the paper for a while, which is undocumented
evidence that he is housebroken. Dershowitz is still busy ripping
Norman Finkelstein's new book, regrinding thicker lenses, and
threatening various lawsuits. He declaimed "academic freedom,"
saying that papers criticizing Israel are not academic and no one
possesses such freedom, he, a lawyer,
being the arbiter of such judgements.
Lindsay follwed up by quoting Ellwood as saying Kennedy Skool can't be
expected to have quality control. And neither can AP.
