My purpose is not to minimize or trivialize the horrific situation in the Middle East by comparing it to something so insignificant as the brouhaha in women’s basketball. My purpose is to demonstrate that when dealing with the irrational and malign racial and tribal hatred that is prevalent on the streets and on the campuses, you must be prepared to confront the shallowest and most ignorant of prejudices. In basketball. And in the Middle East.
You must understand that “Queers for Palestine” who demean Israel’s tolerant culture and support a regime that would happily kill gays and lesbians, are simply saying “We Hate Jews.”
You must understand that “A Clean Environment Runs Through a Free Palestine,” as enunciated by the mindless, pitiful adolescent whose only talent is spewing hatred and vituperation, means “We Hate Jews.”
You must understand that “Israel is Committing Genocide” is a big lie, calculated to divert the spotlight from the truly genocidal Hamas.
You must understand that “From the River to the Sea, Palestine Will Be Free” means “We want Israel to disappear and all its inhabitants to be killed.”
