Palestinian Embroidered
Why would an Israeli philosopher and scientist, accuse Israeli soldiers of a "Judeo-Nazi" mentality?

Yeshayahu Leibowitz (1903–1994) Professor of Chemistry, Physiology, and the History and Philosophy of Science at Hebrew University, made frequent reference to the “Judeo-Nazi” character of the State of Israel.

In coining this phrase, he was attempting to describe the aggressive nationalism promulgated by Israeli Zionism, which he saw to be an illegitimate Nazi-like deviation from authentic Judaism, yet nevertheless embroidered with Jewish religious symbolism.

He went so far as to argue that Israel’s treatment of the Palestinians and the Israeli Arabs was a form of “Nazification”.

He turned down the Israel Prize, Israel’s highest honour.

@ Cindy, He taught at the Hebrew University for nearly six decades, lecturing in biochemistry, neurophysiology, philosophy and the history of science. Do you believe you're cleverer than he was?

Hello,

Quite a contradiction in terms aka paradox don't you think? It seems simple enough to me. He had his own beliefs and personal agenda and by bringing up the word Nazi, and equating to the Jews, he realizes he'd stir up much controversy and hence get some attention for his cause. Similarly you get the same effect and attention turning down a prize like some actors have done refusing their Oscars.

If the Jewish people in Israel were the same mentality as the Nazis, I'll guarantee you the Palestinians would be long gone by now... duly processed and up in smoke.

Cheers,

Michael Kelly
