Scholars Judith Butler and Rashid Khalidi have launched on online petition condemning censorship and intimidation of Israel critics, particularly those who support the boycott, divestment and sanctions movement. Some 150 people have added their names so far.

Boycot advocates insist that they not be boycotted.

"Boo Hoo. Those vile judeo-nazis are boycotting us."

1. Judith Butler versus ...

Daniella Weiss .

Intellect versus religion .

[shira]

2. Judith Butler says Hezbollah and Hamas are progressive social movements....

...that are part of the global left.

That's intellect in your view?

And I never heard of Daniella Weiss until you brought her up in a post the other day. She appears to be an extreme Kahane-style settler. Is that the way you view the conflict b/w anti- or post- zionists vs. zionists? You equate all zionists to Weiss? Really?

4. It's not a question of intellect.

Judith Butler isn't stupid or uneducated. She's a Leftist.

3. False comparison.

Leftist religion versus Jewish religion, or else debating intellects would be more accurate.

5. True - both are religious zealots. n/t
