Unfortunately, this repeats the canard that the debate is over "Israeli Jews." In fact, Palestinian and Arab anti-normalization efforts concern themselves with "all Israeli nationality holders that are non-Arab," as this statement by the Jordanian Popular Boycott Movement words it: http://972mag.com/anti-normalization-and-the-israeli-left-a-facebook-debate/55566/letter-2 Both the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions National Committee (BNC) and the Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel (PACBI) define normalization, in somewhat more liberal terms than the Arab boycott, “as the participation in any project, initiative or activity, in Palestine or internationally, that aims (implicitly or explicitly) to bring together Palestinians (and/or Arabs) and Israelis (people or institutions) without placing as its goal resistance to and exposure of the Israeli occupation and all forms of discrimination and oppression against the Palestinian people.” http://www.pacbi.org/etemplate.php?id=1749 "Israelis" would be universally understood in this context to exclude Palestinians, or Syrians from the Golan, with Israeli passports. Needless to say, the words "Jew" and "Jewish" are never mentioned. So whatever you think of Hass' exclusion, it isn't about her Jewishness, and would be no different if she were an ethnic Russian, etc. -- "Hige sceal þe heardra, heorte þe cenre, mod sceal þe mare, þe ure mægen lytlað." ________________________________________________ Send list submissions to: Marxism@lists.csbs.utah.edu Set your options at: http://lists.csbs.utah.edu/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
