They are, as the late professor Barry Rubin might say, lying for peace, whether they recognize that or not. The hope is that if smart westernized Jews are nice to smart westernized Arabs then maybe those Arabs will prevail upon their brothers and sisters in the Middle East to end the long, unjust, unnecessary, and Koranically-based war against us."<br /><br />Jewish intellectuals (well-meaning or not) IGNORE, DENY or JUSTIFY, not "downplay" Muslim aggression against Jews. They do this, NOT in the hopes that it will somehow promote peace but rather to cover their own asses in a leftist dominated, Israel-demonizing world. To express the "wrong opinion" in the world of academia today will virtually annul tenure and will isolate academics and other assorted "intellectuals" and relegate them to a small and despised faction both on university campuses and in journalistic circles. it means their books and papers will not be read or used in classes and It will also make them extremely vulnerable to getting beaten up by the Muslim Student Association thugs. University administrators will do nothing to stop this. By the way, that photo of Obama with the Mogen David next to him is such sensationalistic propaganda, I can't believe you would insert it. It has virtually NOTHING to do with the article but is merely fodder for the "Jews control the world" crowd.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06803366312590335533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6579213173749170024.post-88799360909563732252014-02-13T17:15:57.532-08:002014-02-13T17:15:57.532-08:00Actually Randall is right.

The title strikes me as <i>decisively </i>self-defeating.<br /><br />And <i>that </i>strikes me as deeply tragic.
