Kenneth Marcus: on Holocaust inversion --- accusing Israelis or Jews of behaving as if they are engaging actions that were inflicted on Jews.
Cites Cutler v. Dorn about anti-Semitism in the police force in New Jersey, about a hostile environment in the workplace. Man, defining what is illegally hostile is going to be contentious, especially given actions of Canadian Human Rights Inquisitions.
Causes of inversion? Some ideological points:
- projection as a defense.
- secondary anti-Semitism -- blame the victim, e.g. "The Germans will never forgive the Jews for Auschwitz."
Functions of inversion:
- shock
- silence
- threaten
- legitimize
- insulate
Levy's 3 pillars --- I need to get the source and read more on this. Unfortunately he was pressed for time, and so he had to rush through this material. Rather than try to take notes on it, I just sat back and listened.
Unfortunately, Gerald Steinberg thought it would be better if readers went to his website than read a summary of his talk here. That really is too bad, because his talk was very good. The title was:
Human Rights Watch, Amnesty, and the NGO Network: From Postcolonial Ideology to Antisemitism.
Briefly, he pointed out that the NGOs have tonnes of money to promote their political, anti-Israel agendas.The NGOs are hypocritical and self-righteous -- grossly disproportionately represent Israel. And the MSM take NGO inventions as fact.
He is the Executive Director of NGO Monitor, which will surely belong on my list of bookmarks.
