Academics battle over Israel

Published by

The debate about the terror attack on Israel has reached the academic social media site academia.edu. Here is a tiny portion of it:

I’m particularly impressed by the exceptional rhetorical and linguistic skills of the purported academics.

I have no idea why the website put this on my home page since I never did any searches or had any publications on the subject of Israel. They never put anything Ukraine-related on my page, even though my most widely read article was published in Ukraine and is accessed many times a day from Ukraine.

    I was told that this morning a poet Joseph Fasano (? tried to translate from Hebrew) published this new poem:

    The contrast:

    Hamas official tells Sky News the group ‘hasn’t killed any civilians’ in Israel
    Asked how many hostages the militant group had taken and brought into the Gaza Strip, Dr Naim said he couldn’t confirm an exact number, but said they would be treated in a “humane way and a proper way”.

      This is absolutely horrific information. I’m beyond shocked by it, together with everybody who has any humanity at all left in them.

    Simply repugnant, there is no coming back for Hamas supporting Palestinians after this. They’re the same as ISIS.

    el, I was wondering how come people living in these settlements were not heavily armed? I always imagined they had rifles at the ready to defend themselves, especially living so close to these maniacs.

      They have fences and protection forces. However, not everybody carries a weapon.
      I never visited there, let alone lived, so am unsure which % of citizens there has weapons in their homes.

      If you’re interested, here are 2 stories of Gazan communities which did fight off the attack:
