JEW NOT SO SMART


According to Antony Loewenstein's bio he's an academically connected , best-selling author who's also a respected journalist who "appears regularly around the world on radio, TV (including Democracy Now!), in public, writer’s festivals (in Australia and overseas) and at universities (including Harvard) discussing current affairs, politics and media." With credentials like that it's no wonder Loewenstein was recently featured in the Canberra Times. A couple of excerpts:
Deputy Prime Minister Julia Gillard's recent visit to Israel (and a few meetings in Palestine) was systematic of the rot.
And:
Peace between Israel and the Palestinians is our goal, but it must not proscribe to preconceived ideas of nationhood.
When he's not mangling the crap out of the language Loewenstein links to anti-Israel nonsense:
Many Americans are aware that the subsidisation of the Israeli military at the expense of the US taxpayer puts all Americans at risk of retaliation. Yet the criminal acts begin right under our noses here in America by bankers and real estate agents. With the deep enmeshment of Israeli agents in the United States political spectrum, the Israel Lobby acts as a mafia facilitating the looting of billions of dollars via US military acquisitions from Jewish-owned defense corporations like General Dynamics and via capital transfers including ongoing complex beneficiary-obscuring transactions. In addition to ongoing US foreign aid for weapons purchase, the USA buys billions of dollars of weapons, declares the weaponry to be obsolete and then consigns it to Israel at practically no charge. Using full-scale militarised equipment supplied and paid for by the United States, the Israeli government uses US tax money to pay the IDF to force the non-Jewish Palestinian rightful owners to vacate their own property so that subsidised real-estate magnates can bulldoze the place to build suburban-style condos for foreigners outfitted with supplies from Home Depot and JCPenney.
Who says Jews are smarter than average?

Editing note: the missing "r" was added to "excerpts".

Wasn't just a couple of years ago, he hand huge tantrums and insisted he was "silenced" for his views?

Other talentless writers could only dream of being so "silenced".

How awful are the comments on the Ant's blog. What the hell is a "judaised economy". How can lowenstein post such comments. Considering how few comments he allows through moderation, one can assume he believes such anti-semetic filth. Lattecat

Poor Boy. What has Israel done to him? Or was it the Arts indoctrination. A weak mind is easily influenced. Must be desperate for approval.

"If you or anyone else think Stalin, Mao, Hitler, Pol Pot, et al, were 'left wing' then you are utterly delusional."

Interesting philosophical point. Everyone in the world but Lataan believes that Stalin, Mao and Pol Pot were left wing. Does that make Lataan delusional? Or is Lataan the only sane person in the world?

If only Stalin, Mao and Pol Pot had left some form of record of their political beliefs. You know, if they only had said they were communists, we'd be able to clear this up straight away. Sadly, however, there is no record of them ever suggesting they were communists. Oh wait, they did. What a bufoon.

Finally Lataan - I could find no evidence of Israeli flags at the protest on Friday in any of the mainstream British newspapers. Care to provide a link so we can see what you are burbling about?

I'm taking a wild guess that you're an expert on reading them to. Divided between your sheltered workshop as a geriatric *student* at uni and the sitting on the bog you must lead a real fun life.

"You are not my audience"

well I'm guessing the international league of aerodynamicists aren't either.

But seriously your (appreciative) audience might be a ratbag group of 9/11 conspiracies nuts, a few foaming at the mouth living in the 30's (as in Germany 1930's) Israel bashers, Marilyn Sheep herd and a few people in a mental hospital who have limited access to the net.

Not bad for a mature age ****student**** at uni.

Hey Damian, how are those friends/acquaintances/someone you heard about, who gave you the rub on Gaza. Still in touch with them or was it a big LIE. Tell the truth Damian if you stumble over it, but then you'd have to know what the truth is to recognise it. Maybe it's just too hard for you Damian.

Lataan can never be proved wrong. For instance his comments about neo-cons is code for secret jewish conspiracy. He will never be wrong because by definition, it's secret. Anyone we point out as not being a dual citizen is just proof to him that the secret conspiracy is really good at keeping things secret. In any case what's wrong with dual citizenship. Would Lataan say there was anything wrong with being a dual lebanese/australian citizen? Of course not. Lattecat

News in the 'Jerusalem Post' today; the IDF have been accused by the UN of unjustifiably killing civilians in the Gaza.

War crime trials may be in the offing. It's time the Israeli people rejected the Zionazis amonst them that commit these crimes.

But Lataan, there's not been significant levels of violence, fascist or otherwise at British football venues for nearly 20 years. You are way behind the times when you suggest that the EDL are football holigans (googling a term not used much anymore in the UK is also another error of yours. As an aside, do you ever get anything right? LC

Anonymous Anonymous said...

Only one deceiving here is you. You obviously are poorly educated if you don't know what a football hooligan is. You certainly mentioned them, even if you do not know what the term means - perhaps you should google it? Fisking is to go through an argument line by line, it actually requires one to get to grips with every point in the argument. I obviously see why that could be uncomfortable for you. It's a skill required in academia, fwiw, a phd thesis is likely to be fisked before a phd is awarded, fwiw. LC

This is the blogosphere Lattetwat; not academia. As I've told you before, I have no interest at all in proving anything to you or indeed anyone else in the blogosphere. I make a statement; readers take it or leave. I don't care either way.

But you aren't keeping us on our toes. Noone finds it in the least way difficult to rebut your statements on logical grounds alone. Eg it is simply impossible logistically or politically for 9/11 to be an inside job. The only time we find it difficult to rebut you is where you posit that evidence exists for one of your bigoted statements but refuse to provide it. Of course, that's evidence that you are making something up and is further proof against you. I take it self reflection is not one of your strong points. LC

As I keep telling you Lattetwat, readers can judge for themselves. The evidence for 9/11 being something other than what the 9/11 Commission Report said it was is overwhelming. All readers need to do is check it out for themselves. There are plenty of websites dealing with it.
