'Jews have insatiable appetite for war & killing ... should have been more compassionate due to "holocaust" ' / Hmm ...

[Hannover]

This man has clearly left the Google reservation in criticizing "that shitty little country".

I'm thinking that he may be implying that many Jews know that the "holocaust" is a fraud, therefore their lack of compassion for the slaughter of the Palestinians, financed by US tax payers, of course.
excerpt:

Michael Dickson, director of Stand With Us, which educates people to fight anti-Semitism, tweeted: 'All of this begs the question whether (1) Google did due diligence when selecting Kamau Bobb for the sensitive position of global Google DEI (diversity, equity and inclusion) Director and (2) whether he should remain in these positions.'

IOW, they should fire him for engaging in free speech.

Google's head of diversity has been slammed for writing that Jews have an 'insatiable appetite for war and killing' and arguing they should have more 'compassion' because of the Holocaust.

Kamau Bobb, who is also an 'Equity in Computing' don at Georgia Tech, wrote a 2007 blog post, which remains on his website, titled: 'If I Were A Jew.'

Bobb writes: 'If I were a Jew I would be concerned about my insatiable appetite for war and killing in defense of myself. Self defense is undoubtedly an instinct, but I would be afraid of my increasing insensitivity to the suffering of others.'

He evokes the memory of Kristallnacht, a Nazi pogrom against Jews in 1938, and Holocaust victim Anne Frank to question why Israel lacks 'compassion' towards Muslims in Gaza, Lebanon and the West Bank.

'My greatest torment would be that I've misinterpreted the identity offered by my history and transposed spiritual and human compassion with self righteous impunity,' the academic wrote.

According to his website, Bobb is the 'Global Lead for Diversity Strategy and Research at Google and the founding Senior Director of the Constellations Center for Equity in Computing at Georgia Tech.'

Prior to this he worked for the US government at the National Science Foundation where he was 'responsible for $30 million annually of investments targeted on improving computing and STEM [Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics] education.'

Critics today rounded on Bobb after the blog post was highlighted in an article by the Washington Free Beacon.

Michael Dickson, director of Stand With Us, which educates people to fight anti-Semitism, tweeted: 'All of this begs the question whether (1) Google did due diligence when selecting Kamau Bobb for the sensitive position of global Google DEI (diversity, equity and inclusion) Director and (2) whether he should remain in these positions.'

In another tweet, Dickson wrote that Bobb made 'revolting, and antisemitic, comparisons between Nazi actions and that of the world's only Jewish country. He portrays Jews as bloodthirsty.'

The Simon Wiesenthal Centre, an educational establishment which takes its name from the Jewish Austrian Holocaust survivor, Nazi hunter, and writer, tweeted: 'Google must fire this #antisemite #KamauBobb.'

From the web archive : If I were a Jew

If I Were A Jew

If I were a Jew today, my sensibilities would be tormented. I would find it increasingly difficult to reconcile the long cycles of oppression that Jewish people have endured and the insatiable appetite for vengeful violence that Israel, my homeland, has now acquired. This reconciliation would be particularly difficult now, in November, 79 years after Kristallnacht – the Night of Broken Glass. The anniversary of this dreadfully monumental day in my history would bring me pause. It would force me to reflect on the legacy of extraordinary human suffering. I might wonder how the vicious eruption of cruelty in the mid-twentieth century has influenced the shape of my identity as a Jewish person and our collective identity as Jewish people.

Suffering and oppression typically give rise to sympathy and compassion among the oppressed. I can look upon the sufferer and know that, “there but for the Grace of God, go I.” During this period I might well reflect on the redemptive qualities of suffering that my people have learned through a ghastly set of lessons. I would not have to reflect alone, I could read the lessons explicitly from Elie Wiesel, Anne Frank, or Chaim Potok. I would conclude that my Jewish faith and the history of my people render me closer to human compassion; closer to the instinct to offer healing to hurt, patience to anxiety and understanding to confusion.


I don’t know how I would reconcile that identity with the behavior of fundamentalist Jewish extremists or of Israel as a nation. The details would confuse me. I wouldn’t understand those who suggest that bombing Lebanon, slaughtering Lebanese people and largely destroying Beirut in retaliation for the capture of a few soldiers is justified. I wouldn’t understand the notion of collective punishment, cutting off gas, electricity and water from residents in Gaza because they are attacking Israel who is fighting against them. It would be unconscionable to me to watch Israeli tanks donning the Star of David rumbling through Ramallah destroying buildings and breaking the glass.

I would be confused in concept too. My faith would lead me to believe that Israel is the homeland of my people. My intellect would convince me that it cannot be that simple. The faith and reason of the Palestinians or of Muslims cannot simply be baseless. I would have to believe that the degree of animus, vengeance and violence that they now carry is not rooted in their identity, but rather in their experience; in the sordid nation shuffling and rebuilding that took place after World War II. It must be rooted in their hurt, in their sense of displacement, abandonment and hopelessness.

My reflections on Kristallnacht would lead me to feel that these are precisely the human sentiments that I as Jew would understand; that I ought to understand and feel compelled to help alleviate. It cannot be that the sum total of a history of suffering and slaughter places such a premium on my identity that I would be willing to damn others in defense of it.

If I were a Jew I would be concerned about my insatiable appetite for war and killing in defense of myself. Self defense is undoubtedly an instinct, but I would be afraid of my increasing insensitivity to the suffering others. My greatest torment would be that I’ve misinterpreted the identity offered by my history and transposed spiritual and human compassion with self righteous impunity.

IMO, a rather thoughtful piece on how he would think about his Jewish identity, if he were a Jew.

It's a sad state of affairs though when google's head of diversity relies on known frauds such as Elie Wiesel to provide the requisite "lessons".

In any case, no such inquiry is allowed though, as one can tell from the deafening silence from all of those, non-elitist, non-Zoinist, fair minded Jews, all speaking up in defence of free speech, the world over ... as per usual ...

Seems to me that many judaic celebrations/holidays/special events are based on battles they won, wars they succeeded in and the murder of innocents.

They do have a rather large appetite for killing and celebration thereof.

[DissentingOpinions]

Hannover, you can't blame everybody in Israel for the crimes their government and military have committed. We don't live there, so we don't know if every Jew of the population supports the ethnic cleansing that's going on. There could be a good chunk who are morally opposed, but cannot get citizenship elsewhere and/or would be deemed an outcast if they ever spoke up. If the US were to do the same things to Mexico, would everybody in our country be terrible people because they had citizenship(excluding illegals)? The fact you'd call Israel a "shitty little country" is a testament to your character - it's people like you who give revisionists a bad name by resorting to ad-hominem attacks.

Indeed they do.

For me, the most helpful and informative source on understanding Judaism has been the work of Michael A Hoffman.

He has produced several, very useful books on the subject and reveals much about the Talmud.

Please pay attention, I never said that I blame everybody in Israel for the crimes of their government and military.
In fact, I said:

As for "that shitty little country", which it obviously is, as reflected in it's barbarous actions; I simply quoted the French Ambassador to the UK.
So, using your bizarre logic, he is giving all the French people "a bad name".
It's not just Revisionists who agree with the French Ambassador. Examples of the use of that quote in denigrating Israel are legion. Please catch up.

I submit that your taking exception to my use of a quote from the French Ambassador, who BTW is not a 'holocaust' Revisionist, reveals an agenda on your part.

Cheers, Hannover

Is due diligence defined as trawling through every post, 'tweet', 'like', comment on the internet for a decade+?
How far should this due diligence go back?
If seems that if you say / do anything that a jew disapproves of, ever, there is no limitation.

IMO, a rather thoughtful piece on how he would think about his Jewish identity, if he were a Jew.

I agree.
But if a jew has an opposing view, it's not simply a matter of having a difference of opinion, it's the end of your job.
