A Covenant with Death

A_covenant_with_death


 טו  כִּי אֲמַרְתֶּם, כָּרַתְנוּ בְרִית אֶת-מָוֶת, וְעִם-שְׁאוֹל, עָשִׂינוּ חֹזֶה; שיט (שׁוֹט) שׁוֹטֵף כִּי-עבר (יַעֲבֹר) לֹא יְבוֹאֵנוּ, כִּי שַׂמְנוּ כָזָב מַחְסֵנוּ וּבַשֶּׁקֶר נִסְתָּרְנוּ.

'We have made a covenant with death, and with the nether-world are we at agreement; when the scouring scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us; for we have made lies our refuge, and in falsehood have we hid ourselves';

Isaiah Chapter 28 יְשַׁעְיָהוּ
Verse 15

Comments on Naomi Klein's 2009 visit to Palestinazi HQ

Klein, like her comrades in the Jewish Left, fails to mention easily-available historical and legal facts that don't support her premise.

In "The Herd of Independent Minds", Harold Rosenberg identifies the malady that afflicts Klein and her comrades.  Quoting from Wikipedia: 
"... the trivialization of personal experience inherent both in mass culture-making and superficial political commitment..." 

"...political posturing in both the mass media and among artistic elites ... [is] actually an avoidance of responsibility..."

Klein's trivialization of the Jewish experience during the Shoah, speaking to crowds of Muslims whose religion and culture are based on ideas indistinguishable from the NSDAP, and her false analogy comparing the Shoah to the situation here in Israel - all of this is narcissistic political posturing that avoids responsibility.  

If Klein were intellectually honest she'd follow Talia Fahima's example and revert to Islam. 





Selective Attention Test

Funny - but not a joke.
