Part of...Nice juxtaposition - was that intentional? Part of Eric Lee's problem is Keith Kahn Harris and Brian Klug when, preoccupied with their community and its comportment in the world, they think and talk of antisemitism as one big misunderstanding.<br /><br />And then play the debate card. I find it hard to believe that the Jewish community is so retarded/repressed as a community that simply calling for debate (or for Jews to self-stereotype themselves as troublemakers, as KKH would have it - astonishingly) is a step forward. <br /><br />I'm fed up of the debate card. So often the debate is really shallow. If, as KKH would have it, debate is good - and looks good - in itself, Jews might be better displaying to the world a variety of view on the X Factor contestants. It would certainly draw in more people.<br /><br />But in debates on the subject of Israel, I strongly advocate a barrier to entry - unless there is commitment to accuracy, principles, completeness, flagging of uncertainties and transparency of purpose, debate becomes a parody of itself or a game or a drill. Better go and read the news or a book. <br /><br />Play in the snow.fleshisgrasshttp://fleshisgrass.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
