"We die hungry in a world overflowing with garbage." Mustafa Al-Najjar, a male nurse at Indonesia Hospital, killed by Israeli forces on 6 February 2024, cited Nagham Zbeedat, [https://www.haaretz.com/middle-east-news/palestinians/2024-08-15/ty-article-timeline/.premium/poet-karate-champion-famed-artist-the-life-stories-of-40-of-the-40-000-killed-in-gaza/00000191-45f6-dcc2-a9d1-4ffef1c80000 'A Poet, a Karate Champion, a Famed Artist: The Life Stories of 40 of the 40,000 Killed in Gaza,'] Haaretz 15 August 2024

:::
Let the reader think of the history which we are ourselves witnessing; anyone who, for example, evaluates the behavior of individual men and groups of men at the time of the rise of National Socialism in Germany, or the behavior of individual peoples and states before and during the last war, will feel how difficult it is to represent historical themes in general, and how unfit they are for legend; the historical comprises a great number of contradictory motives in each individual, a hesitation and ambiguous groping on the part of groups; only seldom (as in the last war) does a more or less plain situation, comparatively simple to describe, arise, and even such a situation is subject to division below the surface, is indeed almost constantly in danger of losing its simplicity; and the motives of all the interested parties are so complex that the slogans of propaganda can be composed only through the crudest simplification—with the result that friend and foe alike can often employ the same ones. To write history is so difficult that most historians are forced to make concessions to the technique of legend.Erich Auerbach,Mimesis: The Representation of Reality in Western Literature 1953 pp.19-20.
:::
Perhaps in no other major international conflict has the gap between opinions—or “myths,” as in this context I shall call them—and demonstrable historical facts been as great as they are in the Arab-Israeli and the Israeli-Palestinian conflicts since the early twentieth century. As a result, perhaps in no other international conflict have these myths, which still dominate Israeli and US political discourse, had such devastating consequences for both peace and justice.'Jerome Slater,[https://books.google.com/books?id=yVAAEAAAQBAJ&printsec=frontcover Mythologies without End: The US, Israel, and the Arab-Israeli Conflict, 1917-2020,] Oxford University Press 2020 p.1.

“For seven years, I visited the Palestinian territory twice a year. I also conducted a fact-finding mission after the Operation Cast Lead in Gaza in 2008, 2009. So, I am familiar with the situation, and I am familiar with the apartheid situation. I was a human rights lawyer in apartheid South Africa. And I, like virtually every South African who visits the occupied territory, has a terrible sense of déjà vu. We’ve seen it all before, except that it is infinitely worse. And what has happened in the West Bank is that the creation of a settlement enterprise has resulted in a situation that closely resembles that of apartheid, in which the settlers are the equivalent of white South Africans. They enjoy superior rights over Palestinians, and they do oppress Palestinians. So, one does have a system of apartheid in the occupied Palestinian territory. And I might mention that apartheid is also a crime within the competence of the International Criminal Court.” . John Dugard,United Nations special rapporteur cited in Ramzy Baroud, Romana Rubeo,[https://www.counterpunch.org/2020/05/19/what-you-need-to-know-about-the-icc-investigation-of-war-crimes-in-occupied-palestine/ What You Need to Know about the ICC Investigation of War Crimes in Occupied Palestine] Counterpunch 19 May 2020

The army’s professionality has been stained by the shooting soldier affair too. The chief of staff reported, in an explicit and documented manner, that two-thirds of the army are employed in keeping the occupied territories (it’s unbelievable, but only one-third deal with the Arab states, Iran, submarines, F-15, Hezbollah, Hamas and all the other calamities).Sima Kadmon, [http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-4888485,00.html 'Hebron shooting: A micromodel of Israel’s maladies,'] Ynet 5 December 2016.

'Israel has a poor record of holding its own forces to account for serious laws-of-war violations; Hamas has not even claimed to investigate violations by Palestinian fighters. The involvement of the ICC could help to deter both sides from committing war crimes, while potentially offering victims a modicum of justice. With its UN observer-state status, Palestine is eligible to join the ICC, and it marked the New Year by finally doing so. The ICC will have jurisdiction over war crimes committed in or from Palestinian territory; that is, its mandate will apply to both sides in the conflict. However, the US and leading EU countries tried to prevent this development by placing misguided pressure on Palestine not to join the Hague-based court. But they take the opposite position in virtually every other situation of large-scale war crimes, where they recognize that curbing these crimes is often a prerequisite to building the trust needed for productive peace talks. No one has credibly explained why the Israeli-Palestinian conflict should be an exception to this rule.'[http://www.hrw.org/sites/default/files/wr2015_web.pdf World Report Events of 2014] Human Rights Watch January 2015 p.7.

'Anti-Semitism exists today on the furthest margins of Western society, in obscure sinecures, on the Internet, but perhaps most prevalently in our feverish imaginations. And in our generation that is where it constitutes the biggest threat. ..It would make much more sense if they could outlaw calling people anti-Semites.

Tibet-Palestine
:::
'To engage with China's arguments concerning Tibet is to be subjected to the kind of intellectual entrapment, familiar in the Palestinian conflict, whereby the dispute is corralled into questions which the plaintiff had never sought to dispute. Tibetans complain of being robbed of their dignity in their homeland by having their genuinely loved leader incessantly denounced, and of being swamped by Chinese immigration to the point of becoming a minority in their own country. But China insistently condemns such complaints as separatism, an offence in China under the crime of 'undermining national unity', and pulls the debate back to one about Tibet's historical status. Foreigners raise questions about human rights and the environment, but China again denounces this as a foreign intervention in the internal affairs of a sovereign nation, and pulls the debate back to Tibet's historical status.'

Palestine

Hebron Hills on the Mind cf. [http://www.counterpunch.org/maguire05082009.html (1)]
:::"The South Hebron Hills are a place of great beauty. Gazelles roam the hillsides, birds are abundant in the sky. When you look out over the hills you can see ancient Palestinian villages where people are still living a simple, subsistence lifestyle. They have flocks of sheep and goats. They market lambs, and the women make delicious cheese and butter. In springtime, the valleys are brilliant green with crops of wheat and barley.
:::"But this beauty is marked with pain. As you look out across the horizon now, you also see the unmistakable mark of Israeli settlements. They appear as modern suburban developments dropped down on the hilltops in this rugged terrain. Settlement outposts extend the reach of these settlements, and confiscate increasingly more Palestinian land exclusively for Israeli use. Religiously zealous, ideological and violent settlers threaten and attack anyone who dares draw near. Palestinian shepherds here find they have less and less land to graze their flocks, and must take grave risks when they do.
:::"As we accompany these shepherds, they often speak of the stories this landscape holds for them. They speak of the land they knew as children; the places they used to roam; the valleys their fathers and grandfathers used to graze the flocks. Recently, as we accompanied one shepherd, Shaadi, he pointed out some of the landmarks in his memory along the way. From high on a hilltop, we can see the nearby settlement and outpost. Although he does not mention it, we are looking across at a place where his children have been repeatedly attacked while walking to school. He continues to send his children to school, knowing that to do so is defiance of the violence and threats to push him and his family off of their land.
:::"As we pause at the cistern to water the flocks, he recounts the time when three masked settlers from the outpost attacked him and his young son while they were watering the sheep. The settlers arrived in a truck and began firing stones at them with a slingshot. They broke the legs of two of his sheep. His nine year old son was also hit by the rocks. Shaadi tried to comfort his son, who would not speak after the attack. When he called the Israeli police to report the attack, the police refused to come to the village to take his report saying they were afraid of the settlers, 'We are only two police. We need a whole army to go in there. The settlers will break our windows.' Shaadi replied, 'If you are afraid of the settlers, how do you think I am?'
:::"A short walk later, we pass by the place where three years ago a settler from the illegal settlement outpost Havat Maon, stole fifteen sheep from his flock. Despite filing a police report, including video evidence of the entire incident and eyewitness testimony from an international observer, no charges were filed against the settler. As we approach his home, he talks about the forced removal of several hundred people from this area. On April 7, 1998 over one hundred families in the area, including Shaadi's, were served orders to abandon their homes by April 12th. In a dark irony, the deadline given was Easter Sunday. The families refused to leave. The military confiscated their meager belongings, and offered to return them if they agreed to leave. They refused. Shaadi's home is a simple place, closely connected with the homes of his extended family. But even home is a place of scarred memories. Settlers have come and attacked his family. Shaadi shares the painful memory of the time when armed settlers came to the village, and started shooting. His mother was shot in the leg, and his brother was also wounded. For him and his family, there is no safe place of refuge.
:::"As is typical in the area, they once had a toilet out-building adjacent to the house. In May of 2006, the Israeli Civil Administration issued a demolition order for the toilet. A few days later a bulldozer came and destroyed it. He has not been allowed to rebuild it. It seems even the basic human dignity and privacy of a toilet will be denied him.
:::"Shepherds in this area continue to face violence and threats on a daily basis. In January of this year, while Shaadi was out grazing his flocks with a few other local shepherds, settlers came out from the outpost and fired six shots at them. The flocks scattered, and the shepherds fled. The Israeli police refused to respond, saying they 'had better things to do'.
:::"A few weeks ago, Shaadi was one of several shepherds that went to graze their flocks in a valley called Mshaha, south of the illegal settlement outpost, Havat Maon. They went together as an act of resistance to threats and violence from the settlers. They went to recover the use of their land, and find sustenance for their flocks. On this day, Israeli soldiers arrived and demanded that the shepherds leave. The shepherds responded that this was their land, and that they wanted to appeal to the commander to decide the issue. Settlers from the outpost also came and spoke with the soldiers. The soldiers ran toward the flocks and kicked several sheep, trying to drive them away. Many of these shepherds reported injuries to their sheep, including broken teeth, and internal bleeding. Shaadi lost two lambs later that week from injured ewes.
:::"As we were finishing up this long walk, we paused along the way as a young lamb was born. Shaadi tended gently and expertly to the newborn, and invited us back to his house for a meal. We rejoiced in the new birth, hopeful that this might be finally a sign of new life for him and his family."

:::'Investigations fail to result in convictions even when eyewitnesses provide accurate descriptions of Jewish suspects seen at or fleeing the scene, holding incriminating evidence - as in a case reported earlier this month by the Jerusalem Post's Dan Izenberg. According to the April 6 article, a settler from Kedumim was caught by police last summer, fleeing a burning Palestinian orchard while holding a jerrican filled with flammable liquid, and with the smell of the liquid on his hands. The suspect refused to answer police questions during interrogation; and less than a year later, the courts dismissed the case for "lack of evidence." Michael Sfard, Yesh Din's legal advisor, described the court's decision as "scandalous."

from 12 May 2009 [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_arbitration/West_Bank_-_Judea_and_Samaria#Findings_of_fact| here], along with User:Jayjg, User:Pedrito, User:NoCal100, User:Canadian Monkey, User:MeteorMaker, User:Nickhh, and User:G-Dett, in the West Bank/Judea and Samaria arbitration case.
For the historical record, the evidence against me was summed up as follows:
Nishidani
(11) {{userlinks|Nishidani}} has engaged in repeated and extensive edit-warring ([https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&type=block&page=User:Nishidani], [https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_arbitration/West_Bank_-_Judea_and_Samaria/Workshop#Jayjg_2]), as well as incivility, personal attacks, and assumptions of bad faith ([http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/Incidents&diff=281071747&oldid=281071446], [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Susya&diff=285304536&oldid=285302228], [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Susya&diff=prev&oldid=285187454]).
Passed 13 to 0, 15:35, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
I don't challenge the verdict. I would simply note that the evidence in the judgement has almost no bearing on the formulation of misdemeanours attributed to me. I was so disinterested at the time that I never even checked through this until this evening, after I followed a long train of reflection on a wholly unrelated matter.Nishidani (talk) 19:18, 29 June 2010 (UTC)
(2) translates out to my being blocked twice for very brief periods in 2007, when I began to edit. The two other blocks (2007 December) (2009 April, concurrent with the arbitration) were for reports leading to administrative action that were almost immediately overturned after clarification on AN/I, where it was shown the administrators had made a mistake or misread. The only block I had from December 2007 to April 2009 was in April 2009 and lasted 1 hour, till it was cancelled as a mistake. I had therefore no operative block from October 2007 when this record was adduced as one of two items attesting to 'repeated and extensive edit-warring'.
(3) graphs revert behaviour, 8 reverts in 45 days, which is the only other evidence for 'repeated and extensive edit-warring'. The reverts I performed were to an expression that was subsequently adopted as the proper one for the area.
(4) consists of a link to a comical post I sent to my fellow editor, Ashley Kennedy, which Jehochman suspended me for, until it was explained to him that it was not an attack on Kennedy, but a note, on the wrong board, between friends, using humour and hyperbole to try and warn him not to exaggerate in editing, in a way that would get him banned. Jehochman's ban was, once this was clarified, immediately reversed.
- I need to further clarify this in detail, because in the endless complaints against me the Arbcom permaban is cited as proof that as far back as 2009 I had a record for being uncivil. This is what actually happened.
::
[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Enforcement&diff=prev&oldid=1232690365 Problems with your civility have date back to 2009, when the ArbCom found that you had engaged in incivility, personal attacks,] and assumptions of bad faith.
::The putative incivility was proven by [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Incidents&diff=281071747&oldid=281071446 this single diff]. Citing that was a devastating proof of bureaucratic disattention and I was so shocked by a patent misreading of a diff as uncivil that I decided to withdraw from wikipedia.
::Why that remark? I’d spent a huge amount of time trying to tutor the editor, Ashley Kennedy I supposedly [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Ashley_kennedy3&diff=prev&oldid=281722453 attacked] to rein in his frustrations which, in venting, led him straight into violations of our protocols. He was a very very industrious researcher. He had accepted my adopting that role, but exasperation at being reverted and what looked like being tagged as someone to obstruct in his extensive editing, got the better of him. We had a very long discussion on his page where I carefully admonished him about why he was, inadvertently, behaving in a way that would invite a ban. I told him several times to desist from behaving in a way that would end up as complicity in his demise as a wiki editor. That diff cited is the opposite of an attack. It was, and AK was an army man, a psychological last resort gambit using irony and comic language, to jolt him into calming down. I did so because I had observed the same self-destructive pattern in Eleland, whose frustrations led to an outburst that guaranteed a permaban.
::When Jehochman saw it, [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Nishidani&direction=next&oldid=281078058#One_week_off he immediately blocked me] for a personal attack against another editor. When, not believing it possible that a last-ditch remonstration with a wiki friend could be read as an assault on him (he didn’t take it that way) I decided to leave Wikipedia as too erratic in its judgments to be worth working for. I [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Nishidani&diff=next&oldid=281084682 didn’t blame] Jehochman – he was totally unfamiliar with my tutoring role and its amicable context Even more obscurely his edit summary he responded to my frustrated leaving by writing ‘Meatball goodbye’, an allusion I still do not understand.
::Almost immediately Avruch, whom I considered a model for myself (and dearly miss) suggested to Jehochman that [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Nishidani&diff=next&oldid=281103948 the latter’s characterization of my behaviour was wrong]. As a close reader of my edits he found no pattern of my engaging in personal attacks, to the contrary. Within hours Bishonen [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Jehochman&diff=prev&oldid=281172719 unblocked me], overturning Jehochman’s judgment that my remark was a personal attack.
::So, technically, that diff was a tiff of misunderstanding fixed within a few hours. It never happened. So I imagined, naively.
::Nope. It was precisely this one diff that, some weeks later, was cited as proof of my incivility in my permaban. The Arbcom editors looked at the diff, and ignored the whole subsequent discussions on several pages which led to the cancellation of my block. All this was done, amicably. The lesson I learnt that, even at the highest levels, where diffs ripped out of context, can eventually create an ostensibly impressionistic pattern.of ‘aggressive’ conduct, an editor’s log can begin to function as a scarlet letter. So that, at a glance, (no smoke without fire) exceptional lapses can give the impression of congenital 'aggressive', 'uncivil', 'bullying' behaviour from 2009 as the essential hallmark of who I am and what I do here.Nishidani (talk) 16:41, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
(5) I thought arbitration was to analyse past behaviour. In the meantime, as deliberations ensued, I wrote up the page on Susya, esp. on the synagogue there. As soon as I touched the documentary evidence for the eviction of local people 4 editors stepped in and edit-warred. Two turned out to be the same person, socks of each other and were permabanned just a few months later, though informally the fact was well known.
(6) Anyone is welcome to read this, and the preceding, to check whether my measured and detailed analyses of the problems of editing there, over two days, constitute 'incivility, personal attacks, and assumptions of bad faith' as a characteristic of my editing over the three years to that date. The content of (5) and (6) are the essential evidence for banning me permanently from that area. Nishidani (talk) 19:38, 29 June 2010 (UTC)
This permaban was subsequently lifted by ARBCOM, after an appeal was made by User:Ravpapa and User:Nableezy in mid 2011.

Other slipups
This was after a long day and inadvertent.
Details
(1)[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ezra_Nawi&diff=next&oldid=443562690 I removed one of two CATs] placed by Off2riorob
I didn’t think of this as a revert, but removal of one dubious CAT, i.e., a removal of one of the two things he had done in his previous edit(s).
(2)When Off2riorob restored that CAT, [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ezra_Nawi&diff=443563754&oldid=443563279 I then reverted him].
(3) Like a true gent, after a short discussion, Riorob self-reverted to the status-quo, which in turn meant my option of reverting my edit to what he had added was no longer possible.
To my mind at the moment I did my revert, the preceding partial deletion was not a revert, and therefore I was within the 1RR rule. I don’t really understand these things except very generically. I notified EdJohnson in case he didn't catch the sanctionable error, and slept on it. I woke to find an email by an authority, not an admin, not unfriendly to my presence here, who wrote that it did constitute a 1RR violation, and that I should pull my finger out. To save people and admins time, I have therefore applied the sanction myself. The law does not admit ignorance. Unless this is extended by the usual processes, I'll see you all sometime in September. Happy editing. Nishidani (talk) 06:50, 8 August 2011 (UTC)
- (5) Self-blocked from editing articles for violation of WP:IRR for I month, 5 Decembert 2011 to 10 January, 2012 at Jerusalem
as per these notifications. The violation was inadvertent, but no excuses for clumsiness.
[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Jerusalem&diff=464239983&oldid=464238996 here]
[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Jerusalem&diff=464244766&oldid=464244503 here]
The error occurred when, as I pasted my edit in, it accidentally ran partially over the preceding sentence. Someone35, seeing the elision, but not taking any note of the two important additions I had made, rather than restore the elided bit, made a blanket revert, thus wiping out my RSs' important qualifications. I restored my edits, but inadvertently, in reverting, also removed the same sentence my first edit wiped out. All of this is an egregious example of editors not using their commonsense, and making a mountain out of a molehill. Editors still retain the habit of disregarding the page out of excessive scrutiny of the page's editors rather than of the literature required to write it. A simply query in these cases is sufficient to allow someone to correct an oversight. The same goes for 'Hadr', which drifted into the text instead of entering my 'search box' as I opened the page to edit. There is no need to agonize and dialogue in extenso over these things. One fixes them as a courtesy, and to prove that even in the I/P area, WP:COMMONSENSE still has a fragile toehold. A self-ban for a technical violation is a rule I wish to adopt for myself. It's a relief to not have to waste one's time for a month. Nishidani (talk) 18:30, 5 December 2011 (UTC)
:I violated my own block, by slipping from a talk page to what I noted in poor editing at Al-Bireh. I'll extend the article ban by a few days to the 10th of January.Nishidani (talk) 16:54, 8 December 2011 (UTC)
- (6) Self-blocked from editing articles for violation of WP:IRR at Zeitoun for I month, 4th May 2012 to 4th June 2012.
This may be modified if insufficient. See [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Enforcement#Nishidani here]. The block officially extends from the expiry of my self-block (4th June above for all of wikipedia) to 13 June 2012, but given my liability to make occasional slips, perhaps that is not sufficient, and I may roll it over month by month. Cheers
- (7) Self-blocked for what looks like an (inadvertent in my view) 1R violation, for one month from today at Zion square assault.
In lieu of a decision at [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Enforcement#Nishidani AE on this request] by User:Activism1234, but not intended to preempt it. It was inadvertent but good faith demands I apply the principle. This is not preemptive of any more severe sanction, but merely the application of my standing rule. Unless admins consider the infraction worthy of a longer suspension I will refrain from editing wikipedia until October 3 2012.Nishidani (talk) 08:56, 2 September 2012 (UTC)

- (12)[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Enforcement/Archive216#Nishidani suspended for one month]. My reading of this was that of the 14 pieces of evidence, 13 consisted of remonstrative language to call editors on talk pages to adhere strictly to WP:NPOV, WP:V, and to desist from violating WP:OR
:WP:V
:
{{tq|Wikipedia does not publish original research. Its content is determined by published information rather than the beliefs or experiences of its editors. }}
:Wikipedia:Wikipedia is not a reliable source reads
:
{{tq|Neither articles on Wikipedia nor websites that mirror Wikipedia can be used as sources, because this is circular sourcing.}}
:Most of the ostensible evidence consisted, in my view, of remonstrations to adhere to these policies, rather than divagate in discursive drifting.
::Since I was told that a request to make a call on a possible 1R violation could not be considered because the IR regulations are too complicated, appealing this struck me as pointless. Arbitro in Latin has given us 'arbitration' and 'arbitrary', two concepts that are diametrically opposed.
:As a philologist I would like to bow out with three remarks on wiki usage that are odd, so that in future the necessary distinctions be understood:
- (a)The word [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Jordan_Valley_(Middle_East)&diff=782372802&oldid=782371733 ‘prevarication’], according to my pagan bible, the OED, means:
:
‘diverging from the right course/straight line’/‘avoidance of plain dealing, or a straightforward statement of the truth; evasion, quibbling, shuffling, equivocation’ (Vol,XII pp.443 cols.2-3).
- (b)The word [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Jordan_Valley_(Middle_East)&diff=next&oldid=782422843 ‘disingenuous’] can be used, though the OED states it means:
:
’lacking in candour or frankness, insincere or morally fraudulent (OED, Vol IV,p.782 col.3)
:Effectively, on wikipedia, one can intimate that an editor is morally fraudulent or insincere, but not that an editor is quibbling or failing to deal plainly. The latter is actionable, the former is not.
- (2)’For fuck’s sake’ is technically a remonstrative exclamation and in vernacular usage is a pagan euphemism for the, in religious tradition, blasphemous violation of the second commandment of the decalogue, not to use the Lord’s name in vain (‘For God’s sake’).
- (3) The precedent set in using ‘if’ clauses as evidence of factual attacks will prove disturbing. [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Nishidani&diff=768188806&oldid=768116195 It set a criterion for commenting on a wikipedian’s talk page], namely that one underwrite a request to think syllogistically if one posts there .

Three week suspension October 2024
Freud always believed that the symptom , which is a false solution to a real psychic problem, the symptom is too costly and uses up too much energy and there is always a chink in the wall, which could be the dream, or slips of the tongue or jokes - there are always systems at work which are cracking the edifice of what you think is your completely assured control of the world and of yourself. Jacqueline Rose in conversation with Alexei Sayle ([https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yR9SeaJvilU Torrents of Rage])
Wikipedia judgments are replete with mysteries, but this one tops the bill on my record sheet of putative malfeasance. Close grammatical analysis will not unsnarl the enigma, but it will enable one to see, at least, the flaw at the kernel of the sanction.
I’ll close this patently flawed foul call with one final lesson therefore on how to construe a sentence, which Barkeep49 has failed to do with his own prose,
[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Weaponization_of_antisemitism&curid=75688233&diff=1253167270&oldid=1253164768 I see a joke weaponizing antisemtism on the talk page about such an article. Still considering whether other measures are appropriate Talk:Weaponization of anti-Semitism].
- 1.Grammatically Barkeep49 is claiming it is the joke, not myself, which weaponizes anti-Semitism
- 2.What then does the phrase ‘weaponization of anti-Semitism’ mean? According to the article, this consists in
The exploitation of accusations of antisemitism, especially to counter anti-Zionism and criticism of Israel,'Weaponization of antisemitism
- 3.The joke, therefore, for Barkeep, exploits antisemitic accusations to counter criticism of Israel. There is no other way to read that sentence. It follows that
- 4. In citing the joke I was complicit in exploiting antisemitic claims against those who criticize Israel.
- 5.The joke does not however ‘weaponize anti-Semitism’. To the contrary, it lightly mocks mechanical recourses to the weaponization of anti-Semitism, and does so from an impeccable Jewish source, which is a credit to that culture. As the link to Sir Stephen Sedley’s original use of it underscored in The London Review of Books, as [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Nishidani/Archive_25#Holocaust_denial_and_other_bizarrities cited on my page in 2019], where it elicited not the slightest murmur of discontent about ostensible ‘infllamatory’ material, the purpose of using the joke was to defend the right of critics of Israel’s human rights abuses to do so without being automatically subject to accusations of being Jew-haters/antisemites.
- 6.This is precisely the opposite of the way Barkeep49 read it. My sanction was based on a total misconstrual of both the joke and my careful use of it on a talk page to buttress a point made extensively by Israeli and Jewish academics in the scholarly literature.
- 7. My frank reading of this egregious misprision is that slowly there has emerged, particularly since 7 Oct 2023, an atmosphere in which wiki discourse on Israel, in so far as it is a Jewish state, should be treated as a marginalized polity and therefore meriting the prophylactic [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Enforcement&diff=next&oldid=1256764251 care for groups who suffer discrimination as do other disempowered communities]. This moral proviso is not extended to Palestinians, even if NPOV would demand it in this context. No one lobbies for them to be entitled to be fairly represented as equal parties to the ongoing conflict. And therein lies our chronic systemic bias. As with similar arbitrary admin mistakes analysed above, I don’t expect apologies. It's not so much I that have been offended, so much as the rigorous principles of English grammar. But for my notes, this unwitting insult to intelligence needs to be set straight.Nishidani (talk) 09:33, 15 November 2024 (UTC)
