Yesterday the Boston Globe covered the problems faced by Brandeis President Jehuda Reinharz in Brandeis woes put president on the line.
I was struck by the following two paragraphs, which really do not belong in a news report.
Reinharz's story in many ways parallels that of the young university he runs, both rising from the tragedy of the Holocaust. Brandeis, a nonsectarian Jewish-sponsored research university, was established in 1948, the same year Israel was founded, at a time when Jewish students faced quotas at elite universities.The first paragraph is a fairly contorted, questionable, and totally irrelevant equation of Reinharz' life story, the history of Brandeis University and the Zionist narrative of founding of Israel.
Reinharz was born in the Israeli port city of Haifa in 1944. At 13, he and his struggling family moved to Essen, Germany, where his parents had lived before fleeing the Nazi occupation. There, the teenager learned to defend himself, repeatedly getting kicked out of school for fighting when schoolmates taunted him with anti-Semitic slurs.
Sorting out the implied similarities is difficult if not impossible. From the Palestinian standpoint, the founding of Israel represented a massive theft as well as an act of ethnic cleansing and genocide. While the untimely death of millions is a tragedy and may be a sort of weird analogue to university quotas in the mind of reporter Tracy Jan (tjan@globe.com), the Holocaust arose out of a complex set of circumstances including non-Jewish anger at a century of Jewish sabotage, subversion, radical violence, targeted assassinations, mass murder, ethnic cleansing and genocide.
The second paragraph may be even stranger. Normally we do not consider the Nazi regime to have occupied German cities although Palestinians could make a legitimate case that the Zionist regime occupies Stolen Palestine (pre-1967 Israel) as well as the West Bank, West Jerusalem, and Gaza.
The last sentence is a grammatical atrocity and should have been written:
Because the teenager responded to anti-Semitic taunts by starting fights, he both learned to defend himself and was repeatedly kicked out of school.Jan should have mentioned a source like Reinharz himself or perhaps a previous biographical article. Jews so often gratuitously demonize Germans that a good reporter would have at least checked with the school in Essen in an attempt to obtain confirmation.
Altogether Jan's reporting seems to support my hypothesis that Zionist Infestation Causes US Incompetence. Sphere: Related Content
