Ruth Wisse Addresses Young Jewish Reporters At A New York Conference

At the Center for Jewish History in New York, Ruth Wisse, a Harvard professor of Yiddish literature, issued an appeal to American Jews to serve here as part of Israel's "army."

At a conference for young Jewish journalists, Wisse was asked about how to respond to the "demonization" of Israel by the country's critics.

   

 

 

 

 

 

 

American Jews Should Serve In Israel's Army

Ruth says, "Every Israeli has to be in the Army for two or three years of his training at least and then a month of every year at least afterwards. I think that American Jews ought to think of themselves the same way, that for a certain part of your life you are just part of that army. Now army life is rotten, it asks you to do things like this, not to keep thinking. You're not asked to analyze every situation from anew. You have to exercise, you have to learn. That kind of fight that we have to wage takes a totally different kind of advocacy training, of systematic thinking." 7
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  

She Addressed Students At Stanford

I will give you one example, I think about this all the time. I gave a talk at Stanford...there were about 15, 20 Arab students who had come to the talk, Friday night. They had not participated in the meal, but they just sat there at the side very politely and then when it was over they had their prepared questions.

 
   

 

 

 

 

Professor Attacks And Belittles Muslim Students Who Ask Questions

 'So what about the apartheid of Israel? What about Israel's apartheid policy toward the Arab population?' And I said to her, 'Why did you kill your grandmother?'.. She was very startled and she thought I hadn't heard the question. And she repeated the question. I said, 'No no no I heard the question, I understood the question, but I have a question for you, "Why did you kill your grandmother?"' Now I couldn't think of anything clever on the spot, it was a stupid thing, but I went into it and tried to explain to the rest of the audience exactly what this was-- she would now have to answer to this absurd charge. I pressed him. I was not kind. I said, 'Where is your grandmother? Can you produce her?' Just to show how easy it is to put someone on the defensive with an accusation that has no merit, that has no substance... That is so different from the kind of intellectual subtleties that one has to keep working at in all other areas of our life, including what is said here in relation to [criticism of] the policies of Israel.

Another Token Zionist

Harvard's faculty is over 50% Jewish. Any discussion of the Israeli genocide is Gaza is quickly stifled. Another 15% of Harvard's faculty are multicultural, and it's safe to assume that they aren't about to participate in any discussions on Israel.
