When I think of MARK LEVINE, I think of the wimpy, verbose, gutless scientist in the sci-movie...the one who rushes up to "The Thing" from Outer Space, and gets on his knees and cries, "You have superior intelligence...you can teach us so much...I am on your side..." And he gets incinerated into ashes. By "the thing." Because he's so incredibly gutless and cowardly he asks for mercy from a monster.
HAMAS is a monster. MUSLIM FANATICS are monsters. But Mark Levine, a gutless pseudo-intellectual who lives hidden in Academia, where he can grow his girlish hair long, and preen and fuss about trivia and semantics (not Semitics)...HE doesn't think so. Because HE either hasn't experienced anti-Semitism, doesn't know anyone who was in a concentration camp, never heard of Daniel Pearl...or learned NOTHING from the suffering of the Jewish people.
Mark Levine is fortunate that there aren't Jewish fanatics like there are Muslim fanatics...otherwise HE would be beheaded. He'd be kicked, stomped, and beheaded for being a traitor. Muslims fight among themselves when they have no Jews or Christians to humiliate and murder. Shi'ites and Sunnis will kill each other to prove who ALLAH is actually going to give virgins and goats to. But Jews don't do that. While Hamas wants to kill EVERY Jew on the planet, INCLUDING MARK LEVINE, he thinks he'll be spared, like the scientist in the sci-fi movie, because "I'm on your side! You are the Chosen Ones, not Jews!"
Tell me, who do YOU admire? A long-haired clueless cowardly long-haired Kike fairy (that's how Muslims view him) like Mark Levine, or a CHRISTIAN CONSERVATIVE like Jon Voight, who has absolutely NO reason to side with Jews or Israel, other than it's the right thing to do?
Jon Voight did not have his relatives burned alive or gassed on concentration camps. He did not have the stigma all his life of "being different." He did not have people suddenly turn away from him in disgust because he had a Jewish name or admitted to being Jewish. Jon Voight suffered NO pangs of isolation, humiliation or fear. Yet, he is for Israel.
There is, unfortunately, no great shortage of affluent self-hating Jews who are dedicated followers of anti-semitic fashion. That's MARK LEVINE, gutless coward to the Jewish people. He prances around, Mr. Professor, Mr. Expert on jejune "scholarship," and debate-class rhetoric. Oh sure, he can find every loophole. He can analyze everything and he can make 2 and 2 come out FIVE if he wants to. But the truth is that the dirty, filthy Palestinian scum brought in HAMAS because they are hateful, vicious people. The truth is that while Egypt and Lebanon have no problem with Israel, the Palestinians...greedy, nasty and anti-Semitic, do. So MARK LEVINE sides with them. Poor, poor Palestinians. Awww. Nevermind that these ignorant camel-eating swine have NO idea what the fuck he's talking about. All they know is they want land and Israelis have it, so kill Israelis. Take take take. That's all they know.
If you want the full text of MARK LEVINE's verbose screed, you'll find it below.
YOU will have to admit that it's verbose. That it makes excuses. That it nit-picks. That it spins everything to the Arabs and is 100% anti-Israel. That it dwells on distortion. That it crawls around verbiage from 1948 while ignoring the Jewish history of The Holy Land from TWO THOUSAND YEARS AGO.
No Israel? What about the BIBLE? Palestinians are NOT JEWS. Moses was a Jew. Jesus Christ was a Jew.
MARK LEVINE is no Jew. He's a traitor. He's a coward hiding with a professor's pension, safely pondering words and theories from a classroom where he's more likely to be gunned down by a deranged Asian loner than a Muslim. Lucky him.
I'd love to punch this fucking MARK LEVINE right in the nose. Honestly. If it was worth my time and energy, I'd beat the shit out of him, and believe me, there's enough SHIT in him for a fucking LaBrea tar pit. But you can't reason with pseudo-intellectuals like this..."scholars" using seven-letter words, sticking their noses in the air, shutting their eyes to the truth and the logic of what is REALLY going on in the world.
Before this latest fucking Gaza bullshit...the Ayatollah and the President of Iran were screaming, "Wipe Israel off the map...JEWS...get the JEWS..." It was said in the ghetto in Germany. It's said in Spain. In France. In England. Does MARK LEVINE donate to the Weisenthal Center? Has be been to the Museum of Tolerance? Does he get their journal which is loaded with reports of anti-Semitism all over the world that have NOTHING to do with Palestine or Israel? What a fucking load, MARK LEVINE is. All to save his own neck. Nothing Academia likes better than a self-hating JEW who is going to sell out his people.
This Kike asshole is so proud of himself: "I and my gutless fairy friend are telling off JON VOIGHT, the famous actor, so WE are now FAMOUS, and WE are being hoisted in the air by the fairies of HUFF-PO."
You can just imagine the pats on the back this jerk is getting. "Wow, YOU wrote something for HUFF-PO! YOU are a published AUTHOR! YOU stood up to the Midnight Cowboy himself! You slayed him with your BRILLIANT WIT AND YOUR INCREDIBLE DEBATING SKILLS! Down goes Jon Voight!"
Mark Shithead Levine, when you die, and I hope it's soon, you will be buried. And you will NOT rest in peace. Because one day anti-Semites will spray-paint your tombstone. They'll take a hammer to it and smash it to pieces. You are a JEW now, and you will ALWAYS be a JEW and there will ALWAYS be people who will hate you for it, and will not even let you rest in peace because of it.
All your traitorous words will not help you. At best, you won't know. Death is bliss. You can ignore the fact that what you wrote has caused a Jewish shopkeeper's window to be smashed. A Jew's bones to be broken. A Muslim from Hamas to cheer "see, I'm right," as he fires off a missile with the intent of killing a Jewish child. You can ignore plenty from your Ivory Tower of Academia, and shut your eyes to Jewish suffering while cradling any picture of a Palestinian suicide-bomber or human shield.
You can feel no guilt over what you've done to your fellow Jews with your oh-so-logical and smug "facts" and twists and slant. But you are still a JEW. And one day, dead or alive, you will pay the price. Because the Muslims hate you. And now, the Jews hate you.
I don't get paid an obscene salary to be a piffle-professor, and I didn't spend two weeks or more writing a retort like YOU Did. This comes in a few minutes, from my heart and from my gut. YOU don't have a heart OR a gut, so you wouldn't know what real rage is.
But if I met you face to face, you'd know.
Here is the great Professor Mark Levine, ignoring the blood of the Jews, and oh-so-cleverly patting Jon Voight on the head for being such a SILLY man, such a SILLY, SILLY man, hurling his POO.
Read how HE and his self-hating Jew professor friend coyly insist that "we are professors" so we KNOW IT ALL and YOU DON'T.
You can almost see the smirks on their faces as they relish the chance to say "let us begin with your opening argument..." because to THEM...to cowardly pale-faced weak Jewish twits...a DEBATE, an intellectual masturbation, is their form of recreation. While the Muslim form is to behead a Jew and wave the trophy around on a stick while changing ALLAH ALLAH LA LA LA LA LA LA LA.
Here's gutless verbose Jewish fairy coward MARK LEVINE and his boyfriend.
See how much of his pompous crap you can stand to read before you too have the urge to throw up.
Dear Jon Voight,
We write to you as admirers of your work for many years. We are also professors of modern Middle Eastern studies, specializing on the history and contemporary realities of Israel, Zionism and Palestine, and between the two of us, we have written and edited over half a dozen books on the country and the two peoples who are destined -- or doomed, depending on your point of view -- to share it.
We have read your open letter to Javier Bardem, Penelope Cruz and other critics of the latest Israeli bombing and invasion of Gaza, in response to their own open letter condemning Israeli actions during the war. Your passion for defending Israel is clearly as great as your passion for acting. However, behind your passion is a view of Israel's history and current actions that are utterly at odds with the actual history and present-day realities in the country. They are simply dead-wrong, and your belief in them has led you to adopt views that will ultimately -- and at this rate, sooner rather than later -- doom, not defend, Israel. Moreover, while you have laudably said that they or other actors should not face industry sanctions for standing up to Israel, we believe that the intensity of your criticism, coupled with the inaccuracy of the arguments, not only exacerbates the rewriting of the conflict's history in the mainstream media but contributes both to a toxic atmosphere of hatred against Palestinians and to a purported blacklist against them.
Let us begin with your opening argument:
They are obviously ignorant of the whole story of Israel's birth, when in 1948 the Jewish people were offered by the UN a portion of the land originally set aside for them in 1921, and the Arab Palestinians were offered the other half. The Arabs rejected the offer, and the Jews accepted, only to be attacked by five surrounding Arab countries committed to driving them into the sea. But the Israelis won. The Arabs tried it again in 1967, and again in 1973, launching a sneak attack on the holiest Jewish holiday. Each time the Jews prevailed but not without great loss of life. And when Israel was not fighting a major war, it was defending itself against terrorist campaigns.
This is the traditional narrative of Israel's birth, part of what Israeli hisitorian Simha Flapan described as the "myths" surrounding Israel in his famous 1987 book The Birth of Israel: Myths and Realities. However, this is a distortion of the actual history, which saw Zionism arrive on the soil of a Palestine that was already in the midst of its own modernization, against which what Israeli sociologist Gershon Shafir describes as a "militant [Zionist] nationalist movement" developed, deploying the "conquest of labor" and then the "conquest of land" to increasingly powerful effect once the British conquered Palestine in 1917.
After three decades of British rule that was legally committed -- through the Balfour Declaration and the Palestine Mandate -- to facilitate the creation of a Jewish "national home" at the expense of fostering Palestinian Arab nationalism, outright civil war became inevitable. When war finally came, the Zionist leadership "accepted" the terms of the 1947 Partition Plan. In reality, they had little intention of actually fulfilling them, and over the next year, through intercommunal conflict and then all-out war, three quarters of a million Palestinians were permanently forced from their homes, and over 500 villages were destroyed.
As for your claims that Israel was attacked by surrounding countries determined to throw it into the sea, this too is belied by the historical record. As Oxford University professors Avi Shlaim and Eugene Rogan demonstrated in their book The War for Palestine, Rewriting the History of 1948, minimal and badly trained and equipped forces were sent; their main goals were to prevent themselves from looking like collaborators and their rival Mufti of Jerusalem from establishing a state, and, where possible, to take whatever territory they could for themselves. Most important here, Jordan -- the one neighbor with an effective, British-run army -- had reached a modus vivendi with the Zionist/Israeli leadership in which it would take over the West Bank and leave Israel the rest of the country. The only exception was Jerusalem, about which the two sides couldn't agree and which therefore became the scene of the worst fighting of the war.
Let's leave aside the fact that you don't mention the 1956 tripartite invasion of Egypt by Israel, France and the UK, which not even Israelis argue was a defensive war. Similar to your description of 1948, your description of 1967 as the "Arab trying again" to destroy Israel is historically inaccurate. There were certainly many threats emanating from Arab capitals in the late spring of 1967, but ultimately it was Israel, not the Arab states, that clearly launched a "sneak attack." The CIA even predicted that Israel could wipe out the combined forces of the surrounding states in roughly five days, which is exactly what happened.
While presented to the world as a war of survival, 1967 was in fact a war of conquest and expansion. How do we know this? Quite simply because that's just what Israel did: It conquered and occupied the West Bank, Gaza, Sinai and the Golan Heights and proceeded to settle them intensively, particularly in the biblical heartland of the West Bank.
Here, Mr. Voight, it is absolutely crucial to understand that if Israel were really afraid to turn over the West Bank to Palestinians for security reasons -- that is, if the occupation were in fact about security -- it could have maintained a military occupation to this day without violating international law. But instead it began a settlement enterprise that came to dominate Israeli political life, eventually placing well over half a million settlers in the West Bank and East Jerusalem, in clear contravention of international law, which expressly forbids transferring civilians from one country into an occupied territory.
Indeed, Israel today could withdraw civilian settlers from the West Bank at any moment and bring itself into compliance with international law while continuing to occupy the West Bank militarily indefinitely. But of course it will never do that. In fact, as Israeli scholar Meron Benvenisti already argued back in 1987 with his West Bank Database Project, when there were only about 60,000 settlers (one 10th of the present number), by this time the West Bank was already so integrated into Israel that it would never be possible to withdraw from it.
Mr. Voight, have you ever visited the Palestinian West Bank or Gaza or spoken with Palestinians who've suffered under decades of Israeli occupation? Had you been forced to suffer their fate, your anger would certainly be directed elsewhere. During the last five decades Palestinians have suffered continuous expropriation of their lands, collective punishment, destruction of their homes, seizures of their agricultural land and destruction of their trees and crops, extrajudicial executions, exile, kidnapping, torture, use of human shields, economic blockade and closure, constant invasions and bombing, denial of the right to education or development, massive exploitation and then closure. And contrary to your assertion that Israel has "always labored for peaceful relations," it not only completely ignored its obligations to support full Palestinian autonomy in the Camp David Agreements but invaded and occupied another sovereign country, Lebanon, for 19 years.
Do you think Israel, which has received hundreds of billions of U.S. tax dollars, should be able to behave like this with impunity? Human Rights Watch has just released a report based on survivors' testimonies demonstrating that Israel shot and bombed fleeing civilians during hostilities, in complete contravention of international law. This is not new, you should know. Israel engaged in similar attacks on fleeing civilians during the 2008-'09 war with Gaza and has in fact killed thousands of Palestinians in this manner. Where is the justice in that? How do such actions make Israel or America safer, freer or more secure?
Similarly, today, Israel did not "give the Palestinians all of Gaza as a peace gesture." To begin with, Gaza was never a gift Israel could "give" to Palestinians. It was not only occupied under international law but legally inseparable from the West Bank. Israel could merely withdraw and then impose a blockade while at the same time intensifying once again its settlements in and control over the West Bank. But that is precisely what then-Prime Minister Ariel Sharon did: His goal, according to his then-Bureau Chief Dov Weisglass, was specifically to place the peace process into "formaldehyde" and "freeze" it while Israel's hold over the West Bank was made permanent, and there has been no major shift in Israeli policy since then. Mr. Voight, do these policies seem "peaceful" to you?
This is the context to understand why Palestinians elected Hamas in 2006. Even the archconservative New York Post admitted that Hamas was elected not because Palestinians supported terrorism but because Palestinians were completely disgusted with the Palestinian Authority (PA), controlled by Yasser Arafat's Fatah party, which was utterly coopted by and dependent upon Israel and the U.S. and had become hugely corrupt and as brutal as Israel in its treatment of dissent. Hamas did not begin firing missiles into Israel until after it had attempted to remove the newly elected leadership by force in a U.S.- and PA-supported coup. No significant rocket fire occurred until two years after Hamas was elected, during which time Israel continued its siege on Gaza and its ever-tightening stranglehold on the West Bank.
If Hamas rightly deserves scorn and punishment for its war crimes (and mistreatment of Palestinians as well), what do Israel's leaders, guilty of far greater crimes, deserve? If we were to hold Hamas and Israel to the same standards, what would you feel that Israeli leaders should receive for their treatment of Palestinians for half a century? There has been no attempt by any Israeli government to make any peace to which any reasonable person could be expected to agree -- that is, one that would enable the creation of a territorially and economically viable Palestinian state. Nor are Israelis still "attacked by their enemies," as peace treaties with Egypt and Jordan and close cooperation with Arab regimes from Morocco to the Persian Gulf make clear.
With respect to the present conflict, you are incorrect to say that Javier Bardem and other critics "have forgotten how this war started. Did Hamas not kidnap and kill three young teenagers for the sake of killing, and celebrated after the killing? What a travesty of justice." Indeed, this is not what happened. Rather, as reported in great detail in the Israeli media, the Israeli government began a series of attacks on Hamas and other Palestinian activists, arresting, shooting and even killing many in response to a unity deal struck between Hamas and the Palestinian Authority in preparation for resumed negotiations.
Mr. Voight, there is no way to describe what Israel has done in Gaza other than as a massive crime against humanity. Is it genocide, as the letter that Mr. Bardem and others signed alleges? Given the history of genocide against the Jews -- the very term was invented to describe the Holocaust -- it is tragic that such a characterization can even be considered. But in fact it must be faced, because Israel's actions, which have long been characterized as "politicide" or "spaciocide" by Israeli and Palestinian scholars such as Baruch Kimmerling and Sari Hanafi, have become so intense that one can no longer take such an accusation off the table.
It is undeniable that Israelis have suffered in this present conflict and in the past that led us here, but what is certain is that the suffering that Israel has inflicted upon Palestinians is exponentially greater, and the responsibility for that suffering lies not just with Israel but with the United States, which has, in the words of Jon Stewart, acted as its "drug dealer" while pretending to be a caring friend. If you really care about Israel, you will take the time to understand the actual history and present realities, not myths that have no more accuracy than the Wild West fantasies that used to be taught to schoolchildren in the United States. Otherwise, all your passion and concern for Israel will only lead it closer to the very reckoning that you are desperately trying to avoid.
Thank you for taking the time to read this letter. Please consider yourself to have an open invitation from the Levantine Center, the largest Middle Eastern cultural center on the West Coast, located in Hollywood, to organize a public forum where these issues can be discussed in a full, thoughtful and respectful manner.
Sincerely,
Gil Hochberg Professor, Department of Comparative Literature, UCLA
Mark LeVine Professor, Department of History, UC Irvine and Lund University, Center for Middle Eastern Studies
Of course, LEVINE writes his name as LeVINE. And of course, he and his boyfriend Gil put their names proudly on this swill...because they are in Academia....La La Land...UCLA...behind the walls of a very secure college campus where nobody can walk in and beat their fucking heads in for being JEWS.
