More sophisticated in form than the plain Race Card, but essentially the same.

This, um, argument (for want of a better word) no longer amazes me, but the projection necessary for making it still does. Anti-Zionism, the denial of the Jewish nation’s right to the Land of Israel, is predicated on the racial fiction that Zionism is about White Europeans settling in and kicking the “indigenous brown people” off “their” lands. Take away the racist covering and the only thing upholding anti-Zionism is the truth laid bare of Islamic imperialism.

As for the lack of Nobel Prizes in the Muslim world—not the Arab world, and not confined to Israel—the reasons for this are cultural par excellence. (Not that that would stop the allies of Islamic imperialism from using the R-word in that case either.) As proof, consider that India has continued to produce scientific luminaries and Nobel Prize winners in modern times, even during the British Raj, and more so today. Their DNA is the same or close to the Iranians and the Pashtun, who are mired in the same backwardness as other Muslims as far as Morocco or Indonesia.

How can that be? Why such a disparity, despite the similarity in DNA and the same history of Western rule (though actually Iran never lost its independence)? Here’s a hint: a mind obsessed with jihad and the dream of worldwide shariah domination is no more likely to win a Nobel Prize than it is to take good care of greenhouses given as a gift.

“Racist!” There, saved you the need to write it, lefties.

Silverstein: “Haaretz too ‘disappeared’ the two second place winners, who happen to have been Israeli Palestinians.”

With this statement, Silverstin “disappears” the 6 second place winners who happen to be Jewish.
