Tariq Ali is Edward Said Jr

Tariq Ali thinks that Iran is in cahoots with the US because he claims that if the US had let Israel bomb Iran that the US would lose control of Afghan and Iraq? talk about drawing desperately for straws. Afghanistan is worthless compared to the assets of Iran. his claims of occupation on Judea and Samaria are common rhetoric… and so is his belief that the radical left will come to power, but his arguments obscenely defy logic in the details. he says that he knew before that Obama was not going to withdraw from Iraq in Afghan. he claims that the withdraw from Iraq is a facade and that the Americans are still controlling things. this is the radicalization of the left. he is not happy with Obama and he wants more.

Infidel Bloggers Alliance: My Reaction to Edward Said – Orientalism

Said agrees with Foucault that knowledge and scholarship are about power and domination and little else. In a passage on this topic, Said describes his view of Western scholarship as simply the result of a consensus which imposes a narrative structure based on authority (21-2). In this discussion, Said does not even acknowledge the existence or possibility of knowledge and truth. It is Said’s hope that his acid wash of literary theory will help intellectually disarm the West during its period of cultural decay and death: “indeed if it eliminates the ‘Orient’ and ‘Occident’ altogether, then we shall have advanced a little in the process of what Raymond Williams called the ‘unlearning’ of ‘the inherent dominative mode’

Edward Said laments the monoculture that Islam is forced to embrace in the West, but forgets that for two millenniums the majority of Jews wanted integration and were rejected. to compare half a century with two millenniums is asinine to begin with, but he fails to realize that the majority of Jewery were never given the opportunity that Islam was given in this century.

also… it is kind of annoying to deal with such a dishonest fellow as Edward because his immediate family never resided in Israel as he dishonestly claimed. We have been bamboozled by the man… as we were by Chomsky.

Chomsky and Said lectured and debated at Columbia University… and do you know who was in the audience on that day?

…Obama is the inheritor of their bullshit

Edward Said

Edward Said argued the equivalence between Jews and Palestinians as being refugees in foreign culture; he lamented that his people were forced to embrace a monoculture. for 2000 years most of the Jews were attempting to be accepted into Diaspora culture.

More often then not it was the Diaspora that rejected the Jews, not the Jewish community rejecting the diaspora.

Israel has been hoping that the world would accept Jews as equals. I do not see the Palestinian people outside of Palestine attempting as a culture to integrate at all. the equivalence argument is voided because of this. Now it appears even Said and his life is a fiction. I didn’t need these facts to argue Edward was a fraud… but history is unfolding as I expected.
