Remember, intellectual sophistication and penetration is best indexed by the depth of perversity:
The abstract of the paper, authored by doctoral candidate Tal Nitzan, notes that the paper shows that “the lack of organized military rape is an alternate way of realizing [particular] political goals.” The next sentence delineates the particular goals that are realized in this manner: “In the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, it can be seen that the lack of military rape merely strengthens the ethnic boundaries and clarifies the inter-ethnic differences – just as organized military rape would have done.”The paper further theorizes that Arab women in Judea and Samaria are not raped by IDF soldiers because the women are de-humanized in the soldiers’ eyes.
The paper was published by the Hebrew University’s Shaine Center, based on the recommendation of a Hebrew University professors’ committee headed by Dr. Zali Gurevitch.
“I do not have the entire text in front of me,” Gurevitch said, when contacted by Arutz-7, “and I don’t think we can jump to conclusions based on partial sentences, but I can say the following: This was a very serious paper that asked two important questions: Is the relative lack of IDF rapes a noteworthy phenomenon, and if so, why is it that there are so few IDF rapes when in similar situations around the world, rape is much more common”
Here’s hoping Columbia snap this one up. Cupid Stunt.
Hmm. Maybe it’s time to give that academic boycott another look.
Lack of rape is just genocide by other means.
Or maybe there aren’t any Palestinians worth raping. They wear those scarf thingies on their heads for a reason, don’t they?
(Off to Hell now, see ya . . .)
Damned if you do, damned if you don’t.
I can’t wait to hear the wackademic reaction to this concept — that failure to commit mass atrocities is dehumanizing towards the people left unvictimized. I suspect that since the target is Israel, it will be whole-heartedly embraced.
In fact, look for the follow-up studies showing that the imbalance of white-on-black vs. black-on-white crime in the US is also evidence of “strengthening ethnic boundaries”.
Ok, perhaps someone can explain this to a under-educated person such as myself? It appears to me that he is saying the lack of rape during war means that the conquered people are not worth raping to the victorious? That if it was a different, more desirable conquered people, then military rape would occur, so by not raping it is an additional insult to the losing side? Clearly I am missing something here, because that’s nuts.
That’s as rich as Herbert Marcuse back in the 60s, leveling the charge of “repressive tolerance” at the Johnson administration.
But I thought rape was an official policy of The Patriarchy? Surely, this paper doesn’t square with anything I learned in Women’s Studies.
I think you got it buzz.
The failure of the Israeli military to systematically rape the Palestinians only increases Palestinian victimhood.
The fiends!
Yep. That appears to be the point. Such as it is.
We’ve apparently reached the point that failing to rape means you consider someone less than human. I wonder how much of that conclusion is based on the “all men are rapists” branch of feminism…
Q30, if you think about the subtext of those womyn’s studies classes . . . where do you think all that anger about rape really comes from? Actual prevalence of rape? Or perhaps jealousy. I remember being cited some inflated statistic about 2 out of 3 college women being raped. That wasn’t anti-male propaganda after all. It was really wishful thinking. “Take Back The Night” means “Here we are, please come rape us.”
All of which funnels into a better understanding on our part of why the angry womyn’s studies majors end up shaving their heads, piercing their eyebrows, and switching teams. Because those privileged fucking sorority girls get all the hot rape.
[What in the HELL is WRONG with me today? I’m putting myself in timeout.]
Those Jews sure are crafty, aren’t they? I mean, wow!
Cupid Stunt, indeed.
Am I the only one who thought of Caric when they read the article?
I blame the sockpuppet master.
You certainly can’t claim that one culture (and it’s institutions- such as the military) is superior to another. That would be racist. So, that the Israeli army doesn’t rape is a sign of it’s racism, and the epidemic of rape in the Congo is something else. The huge number of rapes occurring in the Congo is NOT a sign of anything pointing to that culture. At all. But, the Israelis are racist. Ok?
You guys are so dense.
The abstract of the paper, authored by doctoral candidate Tal Nitzan, notes that the paper shows that “the lack of organized military rape is an alternate way of realizing [particular] political goals.â€Â
No, it doesn’t. It just shows the complete lack of any type of grip on reality by the “scholar”. Wartime rape is a result of a breakdown in discipline or rather a lack of discipline and violate the precious GCs.
I feel just awful. I’m driving down to the ghetto tonight and raping a few black women, just to let the African-American community know we care.
Bless you, Jeffersonian. The healing balm of rape could really turn things around in ’08, so now’s the time for everyone to make a New Year’s resolution I think. Think globally, rape locally, guys. Peace.
What is it, the more advanced degree the stupider one gets??
OK, now I have to clean my desk up.
But if you put a bumper sticker with that on your car, you’d probably get in trouble at work.
I’ll be sure to put on “Singin’ in the Rain.”
What, no “Erik the Viking” references?
I swear, you people.
Also, I want you guys to know, that if I was at war with you I’d rape every single one of you.
Twice.
Because I’m no better than you are.
You say the nicest things, Swede. Makes a guy feel wanted.
You think we could get some input from Pandagon or Feministing?
They may be able to explain this.
Sometimes when I’m feeling really hateful toward Teh Other™, I’ll just refrain from raping them for days. Weeks, even.
I feel so much better, having confessed this.
This puts an entirely new spin on Redacted.
I was thinking that earlier, Eric J. How would de Palma put this to celluloid? Would he have platoons of IDF members sitting around, not leering at female Palestinian passers-by and sneering, “I’d sure like to not fuck her”?
You think we could get some input from Pandagon or Feministing?

I am guessing their take would be something along the lines of men only rape women to dehumanize them, if they are already dehumanized their is no point in raping them. Of course, by extension, this makes rape a political statement, so it should be protected by the First Amendment.
Can I have my doctorate yet?
McGehee, you’re just a hater.
But, really, what does it say about those Duke boys? They didn’t rape the
black stripper African-American Exotic Dancer because they were racists. Makes it worse, doesn’t it? How are we to start the racial healing when they can’t even rape a black girl?Well, crap. Drinking and commenting don’t mix.
Darleen, the answer to your question is: “Yes”.
It’s quite logical: The Jews are so depraved, their outward lack of depravity only serves to illustrate their complete depravity.
Now, where did I put my beard trimmer?
The smartest person I’ve ever known once told me that you can gauge the humanity of a person by the amount of abbreviations listed after their name. The more they can put down, the further removed from the human race they have become. This Martian sorta proves his point.
And I’m doing my Masters in Environmental Chemistry?!?
I knew I was in the wroing field.
And that field wasn’t copy-editing….
@Benedick
And here I was, thinking that they actually believed the agitprop that men only show their true colors when they become serial killers.
I mean, isn’t that the TRUE central organizing princple of feminism nowadays?
– The so called Femenazi movement has always been about “Hey, so I’m a fucking skank. So what. I’ll just start my owm group pf like minded social rejects, so I can feel “normal”, possible even superior to some of those unbeleievably repugnent cows”. So there all you pretty people. Fuck you.
– Personally I’m glad they tend to congragate, so if nothing else, they don’t clutter up the nice scenery, and we know where they are at all times.
– Darleen. We need the usefull example that the Doctorata idiots provide, to set the bench marks for “normalcy”, “common sense”, and all forms of “true intelligence”, all of which they apparently are required to abandon, in order to marticulate.
Here’s hoping Columbia snap this one up.
Of course, Dan, none of your friendlies tell you that you can’t edit (or help).
Darlene: “What is it, the more advanced degree the stupider one gets??”
Robin Roberts: “Darleen, the answer to your question is: “Yesâ€Â.
Well, that certainly leaves Dan in the dust — and all of the rest of you commenters.
But wait! There is a late entry:

Bravo!

See, this is so utterly moronic that even Michelle can’t defend it!!!1!3!
I don’t even want to know what the “perfessers” who picked this out as an outstanding piece of work get paid – whatever it is, it’s too much.
In the extended coverage, it has been indicated that the author did not even consider that the IDF doesn’t practice mass or institutionalized rape because it’s morally wrong.
There wasn’t even a hint of an idea that anything but a negative motivation that made Israel look bad could have been at play.
Also, I think we need to reconsider this whole “people with degrees being professors” thing. I mean, it made a sort of sense in the outset, but it clearly isn’t working out. I think they should assign it randomly. “Darnit, I have to be an anthropology professor next year!”
We’ll let degreed people give lectures.
If they’re nice.
The Dadaists have taken over the Academy.
Actually, that was treating Columbia’s hiring committee as a group, Michelle, as in, “Led Zeppelin are reuniting for a concert.”
I’m not an academic and have never written a policy study paper so I’m asking for help.
How does this moron get so locked into something so obviously narrow minded and unreasoned?
Did he start this paper with the thought in mind and then “crafted” the result to meet his precondition? Worse, did he actually come to some kind of logically sequential conclusion that somehow ignored any other factor like unit dicipline or religious morals?
Or-
Is he just another clueless academic idealogue who doesn’t give 2 microns of a rat’s ass about reasoning and is only interested in framing The Narrative™?
Anyone? Bueller?
BJ: She.
Dan: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!
Epiphany!
Never mind.
So you’re telling me Mr. Garrison was right to be upset at his dad?
BJ – SEXIST PATRIARCHY DUDE !!!
Synova – When reading the steaming pile of horse dung, I found myself thinking that this is the exact kind of shit that Caricature babbles about.
Some of you are going to rot in hell. McGehee and happyfeet – I am most certainly not referring to you. Clearly, hell has already disowned you. Damn, you are funny.
JD: Will you be there to greet them? :-)
I’m convinced that the study is the single most ignorantly moronic thing I have ever read. I’m sure that I have permanant brain damage from the readings.
Film at 11.
I have been domiciled in hell for quite some time now. In the world of the Carics, this shite is considered a worthy academic pursuit.
I know I’ll hate myself in the morning but I have this nagging desire to get Caric’s spin on this.
Sorta like rubber necking a multicar pileup. I can’t look away!!
It did make me think of Caric and the whole idea that racism doesn’t require people to actually *be* racist.
I was going to try to parody this one, but sometimes these people make the truth sooooo much more entertaining than anything you could mock up.
Admit it, once you thought of the spoonerism, you had to write the article.
Cafe Alpha: I wish I could take credit for the spoonerism, but it preceded me and was lodged away in my bag of tricks for an occasion such as this one. That’s because I am a very calculating fellow who nevertheless likes to give off the impression of spontaneity.
– Imbilcilic acadamia “works” such as this one have all the intellectual gravitas of a Willy Coyote cartoon.
– “Ok. Quiet on the set….Cue the boulder….action!”

As a man with seven of those initials after his name, I must confess that this isn’t rare at all.
I think what this paper shows is that there is a pervasive spirit in academia that informs most of its “products”–theses, dissertations, presentations, articles, chapters, and books. In most disciplines, but especially in the humanities, by the time you’re ready to start your public writing, you have been indoctrinated enough to know immediately which topics will have the political punch to be rewarded with degrees or publication.
And it is exactly that political agenda that drives the bus…not standards of any kind.
