Dr. Nadia Abu El-Haj on the Occupation's effects on Palestinian Academia

Yeap, sometimes you do find some duzzys:

Abu El-Haj took the stage after Mazrui and attempted to give the conference a more academic tone. She spoke articulately about Mazrui's research and largely succeeded in obfuscating the issue of Mazrui's flirtation with race science. Abu El-Haj brings plenty of baggage to the debate: She has drawn criticism for working on a book claiming Ashkenazi Jews are not genetically related to the ancient Israelites, although she is not a geneticist and there is definitive scientific evidence to the contrary. Her controversial book, Facts on the Ground, argues that Israeli archaeologists have distorted the country's material record in the service of nation-building. It was subjected to harsh reviews.

Yet even Abu El-Haj was taken aback by Mazrui's research: "I don't fullyunderstand what you're doing [in the section of his paper discussing 'Jewish Genius']," she exclaimed.

Abu El-Haj then made the astute observation that the conversation had "racial-genetic undertones" and that "it's dangerous to talk about the biology of any group."

Indeed.

I see. So....her going against her colleague who seemed to go on a racist and cultural accusation of Jews, although he denied it, clears Miss El-Haj from her allegations that today's Jews are not descendants of the ancient Israelites?
OR that Israel was manipulating archeological findings to make it look as if it was Jewish History? Nation Building?

Is that it?
---------
"'Mazrui was offended, apparently unaware that he had said anything that could be construed as racist. He clarified that he was talking about "cultural," not "racial," "impurity." He then went off on a political tangent."
---------
Well, they seemed to deserve each other at that conference.

Dr Nadia Abu El-Haj has a solid set of credentials. She is published several times, and is a Professor of Anthropology at Columbia.

Archaeological Practice and Territorial Self-Fashioning in Israeli Society and The Genealogical Science:

Dr. Nadia Abu El-Haj on the Occupation's effects on Palestinian Academia

(COMMENT)

She is worth he story she has to tell. Listen to her and make your own decision. There are a bunch of great adventure surrounding both Anthropology (Study of Human Societies and Cultures) and Archaeology (Study of Human Activity) and the efforts to recovery evidence and materials to further their particular focus (Indiana Jones type stuff).
(COMMENT)

Dr El-Haj has been critical of Jewish Scientists in both discipline and the genetic researches (DNA Analysis) and making the discoveries and finding fit a predetermined story; making the evidence from digs to establish a territorial and cultural relationship, from recovered artifacts and genetics, between the Jewish people and and locations. (Dr El-Haj calls this "Archaeological Practice and Territorial Self-Fashioning" and Genealogical Science;" with the "Origins of the Jews, and The Politics of Epistemology.)

This is the first set of videos were I have heard Dr El-Haj trying to make a convincing story and accusation that Israeli Leaders are using Israeli Forces to break-down the Arab Palestinian education system and the academic environment; and attempt to dumb down the entire population. She specifically says that these impediments to a good education is being purposely done by the Israelis; absent any Security Concerns.

The Palestinian National Charter
July 1968
​

Article 7:

That there is a Palestinian community and that it has material, spiritual, and historical connection with Palestine are indisputable facts. It is a national duty to bring up individual Palestinians in an Arab revolutionary manner. All means of information and education must be adopted in order to acquaint the Palestinian with his country in the most profound manner, both spiritual and material, that is possible. He must be prepared for the armed struggle and ready to sacrifice his wealth and his life in order to win back his homeland and bring about its liberation.​

The Covenant of the Islamic Resistance Movement (HAMAS)
18 August 1988
​

Article 15: The Jihad for the Liberation of Palestine is an Individual Duty:

The day that enemies usurp part of Moslem land, Jihad becomes the individual duty of every Moslem. In face of the Jews' usurpation of Palestine, it is compulsory that the banner of Jihad be raised. To do this requires the diffusion of Islamic consciousness among the masses, both on the regional, Arab and Islamic levels. It is necessary to instill the spirit of Jihad in the heart of the nation so that they would confront the enemies and join the ranks of the fighters.

It is necessary that scientists, educators and teachers, information and media people, as well as the educated masses, especially the youth and sheikhs of the Islamic movements, should take part in the operation of awakening (the masses).​

Article 16: The Education of the Generations:

It is necessary to follow Islamic orientation in educating the Islamic generations in our region by teaching the religious duties, comprehensive study of the Koran, the study of the Prophet's Sunna (his sayings and doings), and learning about Islamic history and heritage from their authentic sources.​

Article 18 --- The Role of the Moslem Woman:

Woman in the home of the fighting family, whether she is a mother or a sister, plays the most important role in looking after the family, rearing the children and embuing them with moral values and thoughts derived from Islam. She has to teach them to perform the religious duties in preparation for the role of fighting awaiting them.
​

When it comes to dealing with the Arab Palestinian, nothing is what it seems. The last thing that the Israelis want is to foster environments that move to incite violence.

HAMAS Rejects UN Textbooks for Teaching Non-Violence
16 FEB 2014

The Hamas government in Gaza accused UNRWA on Tuesday of unlawfully printing and disseminating school textbooks dealing with human rights in a way that offends Palestinian cultural sensitivities.

Education Ministry spokesman Mu’tasim Al-Minawi said, “The vast majority of examples [in the books] refer to [Mahatma] Gandhi, Martin Luther King, Rosa Parks, Helen Suzman, the Soweto Uprising, the Magna Carta and Apartheid,” and focused on “peaceful resistance as the only way of achieving freedom and independence.”

Al-Minawi charged that the entire curriculum is dedicated “to domesticate the psyche of the Palestinian pupil, fostering negative feelings toward armed resistance.”

The ministry called on UNRWA to stop teaching its current human rights curriculum and called on all teachers to refuse to teach the material, which “contaminates the minds of our dear students.”
​

Most of the nations ,on the upper end of the Human Development Index, condemn all acts of terrorism irrespective of their motivation, whenever and by whomsoever committed, as one of the most serious threats to peace and security, (invoking the restrictions of Article 2 of the Charter) and further promote the maintenance of international peace and security as essential. That would be and exclusion for the Arab Palestinians because they are not at the upper end of the Human Development Index and believe in the doctrine of conflict before peace.

"The Arab Palestinian people, expressing themselves by the armed Palestinian revolution, reject all solutions which are substitutes for the total liberation of Palestine and reject all proposals aiming at the liquidation of the Palestinian problem, or its internationalization."​

This seems to have been true in 1919, just as it seems to be true today; almost a century later.

Indeed, the Palestinian civilians are under the boot of a foreign military force.

They have not had a minute of their own to develop anything.

So what happened to the billions that Yaasar sent to his wife, you lying piece of shit.

I do not know how many times I've heard people complain that there is no safe environment for any meaningful discussion on the subject.

Abu El-Haj then made the astute observation that the conversation had "racial-genetic undertones" and that "it's dangerous to talk about the biology of any group."
Indeed.

(COMMENT)

Certainly few want to discuss that matter in any forum of record for fear that purveyors of dirt and character assassins will dredge something said out of context and out of time.

Most certainly it is difficult t criticize any culture where conflict jihad is promoted as the appropriate means or solution to achieve what they could not achieve by friendly relations diplomatic channels, or previous wars. It is almost impossible to establish a public forum to critique a sub-culture that has deep past history of criminal behaviors --- with the goal of coercing governments into making concessions that they would not consider under legal means. And these same hostile forces target unarmed civilians.

On the other hand, you see --- on a regular basis --- Jewish and Israeli bashing.

It is no wonder that the generalize people within the subculture that provide material support to these Jihadist, Virulent Fedayeen, Hostile Insurgent, Radicalized Islamist, and Asymmetric Fighters are ignored who expressing themselves by the armed attacks on the unarmed, the crippled, women and children --- rejecting all solutions which are substitutes for claims without compromise.

Most Respectfully,

It must be very hard to squeeze a few minutes while planning the next cowardly attack.
