Anyhow thanks for the post

I agree that his research while a little bit interesting wasn’t proving anything other than he honestly believed in a sacred voice and profane sight and tried to prove that the rest of the Arabs do too based on a few quotes of the Quran some taken completely out of context. The hadeeth he uses to support that narrations were ordered by the Prophet not to be written down (was it a weak hadeeth or false). I think there was a lot of agenda behind his research…

#28 ie his article, I find very interesting and intend to spend more time on it. It is written in standard pre-PhD thesis academic-ese in cultural anthropology, and was probably his required thesis proposal, or the theory part of it, or a course paper, which will serve as the basis for his thesis.

Oral and aural are certainly distinct and he makes reference to auditory not aural which has further specific meaning as he intends to show. Auditory is the higher brain function of processing heard sounds/language, rather than the lower neurological function of hearing itself (aural). One of my students used to write in her MSc thesis drafts that the tapes were analyzed orally, no matter how many times I explained, wrote out, and demonstrated by pointing to the relevant body parts that the 2 are distinct–unless she was eating the tapes, they were analyzed aurally.

A friend’s daughter was just diagnosed with auditory processing disorder–not pretty for academic or social functioning.

To some extent this is just interesting, it in no way explains how he lost the plot so thoroughly, and killed that particular professor in the way he did. It does show that academia lost 2 contributors, the Prof’s already established contributions and his potential ones.

That makes my brain hurt.

The original Googlish with his comments, all on Oct 22, 2009:

Tel Aviv University: “The Arabs are the deeper failure in the history of mankind” ..

Under the title “Science racism” newspaper “Maariv” to the racist statements for d. Hevtan Dan lecturer at the University of Tel Aviv in a special session before the “students” are the words of senior officials in the security services and political rights.
The newspaper pointed out that the participants in the session listened to the comments racist insults against Arabs in the interior in particular, and Arabs in general.
Among the statements quoted him as saying “The Arabs are the biggest failure in the history of mankind,” and “There’s nothing disturbed more than the Palestinians” and “the Arab world, the deeper failure, and does not say that have undergone political correctness miserable.”
It also quoted him as saying, “When Israel launches sophisticated satellites into space, the Arabs are coming out with a new type of chick peas.” The saying this in the context of explaining the theory of security in Israel in a program of diplomacy and security for senior managers.
And the Iran-Iraq war, described as “seven years of fun,” and said he was “in the Arab world are shooting at weddings to prove that there are one weapon only, at least, capable of fire.”
The newspaper described the records as one of the most influential academics to senior officials in the security services and political rights. He is known for his views of these many years.
The newspaper quoted him as his claim “that the quotes attributed to him are for a laugh. The portion of these words spoken in the lecture hall or passing conversation has been removed from the context.”
He also claimed that “supply project in the cartoon humor, which distorts and misleads when it displays the message from the records. The allegation that these statements reflect the message is to recognize the profound contempt for adult students, on the assumption that the student ignores the systematic research and well-documented and balanced for long hours, and develops the consciousness on the basis of observations marginal like this. ”
In response to a question about whether students despise when he speaks this way, he said that “students do not need him. There is no group of people has failed significantly to the achievement of goals set by the front like the Arabs. When he tried to work in any Arab as far failed .. the failure of the Arab world deeply, and does not say that he was subjected to poor standards of political correctness, “as he put it.
Anton Shalhat: Sample Barrz for the information of the racist Israeli Orientalism ..
Commenting on these statements, writer and researcher Anton Shalhat Hevtan that Dan is a notable example of the “science Orientalism” Israel, which draws from the swamps of white racism.. What he said and later claimed that, as a “humor” can be found between the folds of “research” and his articles. Therefore, this claim is a false claim in its entirety.
“What I am thinking of these articles is that of the owners of” theory “which claims that the Arab world lacks the qualifications required in order to deal with modern reality, and that this is not about a crisis or difficulty passing spot, but a structural problem, and that” the Arab and Islamic terrorism ” is a Tnafisi community is helpless!.
“I do not need to remind Hevtan the contributions of Arabs in human history, over the days through, and if it was based on his racist remarks to the modern time, which can not obscure the fact that his position toward the Arabs in general and to the Palestinian people in particular positions are infected with racism, and aims to serve political goals do not jibe with the real-time scientific study Blvd.
Shalhat researcher also pointed out that it was known that such Hevtan of “elites” Zionism still ignore the existence of this people, let alone their rights, to justify practices of ethnic cleansing and war crimes committed against him, which began to penetrate the awareness about it among the world public opinion, finally .
He may be new in these remarks is that they Tndfr in the atmosphere of racism and fascism _it more and more in recent years, and have the umbrella of official government and legal proceedings.
He said: “There remains what is unfortunate is that our response to this atmosphere did not live up to the required level, who can put an end to these appearances, is expected to worsen.”
Remarks Dan Hvtan: indicators for the system and a bloody escalation of the Israeli street
For its part, condemned the People’s Committee for the Defense of Freedoms Hvtan statement, said that the words of Prof. Dan Hvtan from the University of Haifa that “the Arabs are the most difficult error of humanity” and the subsequent words and concepts more racist but a sign of how low the Israeli apartheid and colonial discourse to the spread of the closest to the Nazis.
The committee added in a statement received 48 site a copy of the Arabs: “Considering Hvtan of the most influential experts on Israeli security intelligence, and his words came in his lectures at the University of Haifa in the National Security College and to students who are officers of the Mossad and Shin Bet and Military Intelligence, what douche by Hvtan reflects the nature of the academic institution and is a prelude to the escalation of the bloody and racist Israeli regime and the street.
The Commission on the freedoms flowing from the Commission on the follow-up to the concepts that come by Hvtan and other security establishment will be translated into practice against each of the deadliest Palestinian or Arab is a platform to step up prosecutions Academy of Political and bloody attacks.
The Commission also stressed that it is through vehicles is exerting intensive efforts for the escalation and expansion of the international campaign to boycott Haifa University and the entire Israeli academia and the boycott of Israel as a system of racial colonial dangerous, and such a campaign consists of a deterrent to racism and protective of victims.
The statement concluded by saying that the Freedoms Committee report abuse Goldstone UN with the Arab masses at home and repression and political prosecutions during the Israeli aggression constitutes a favorable background for the escalation of the international campaign in response to escalation of racial colonial towards all people, including the Arab masses in the interior.

I completly agree…even if these statements are made by the ugliest soul on earth, the soul of a quintessential sick animal-without-a-tail israeli orientalist…why should we be upset…we are people ruled by the most corrupted blood-sucking, sadomasachistic (sadist with us and masachist with their overseas lords), demented, ignorant and incapable gangs, deprived in body and mind, deformed in consciousness (we must erase this word from the Arabic dictionary…it is superfluous without a referent in the real world…our world)…

Abdulsalam: … They have produced people incapable of believing in life unless there is a mufti supporting one’s belief with a line from the quran or the books of lies (ie alhadeeth)…one grand mufti who allowed the youth to fight the infidals in Afghanistan once said the earth was flat squarer and another said we did not evolved like all organisms but created miraculously by the dexterous hands of god

Abdulsalam: … So here we have ignorant religious men regurgitating yello books and religious satillites reproducing wet dreams and on top of that yello journalism propagating stupidity and callousness…and the youth are imprisoned between attarheeb wa ttargheeb of education that reaches the depthes of their unconsciousness and the threat of force…with this system they are dehumanized, turned into disoriented beasts full of guilt and meanness …their freedom has been squeezed out of them.

Abdulsalam: … If you are not fooled by this system of education you will be forced into a course of reeducation by the security forces…incarserated and casterated and tortured (our prisons are full of people who say I am not convinced)…the irony is that most of these people are raised within the Sultan/Qadhi system and believe it…so the system is not working and only now because it has failed to work that it’s been reexamined and overhaulled!)

Abdulsalam: …
Backward trible medievalist interpretation of religion imprisoned within worldviews long defunct upholding a system of rule, outwardly modern inwardly trible, propelled by corruption, injustice, coercion, secrecy and lack of transparency, and the absence of the minmum sense responiblity…

Abdulsalam: …
With that an army of security forces baught by money and a few quranic verses…how can freedom flourish? how could critical thinking reexamine the inherited assumptions? how could sensitive consciousness awake at the atrocities committed against the weakest segment of the population? how could a sense of responsiblity flourish?

Abdulsalam: …
Now I have to say something to this idiot who said the Arabs are the grossest fuilure in the history of human beings. No failure equals the Israeli…your were f… up under a tolitarian rule in europe and the rule failed and you want to replicate it!!! how stupid is this? what failure is this? Einstein himself refused to join you doomed enterprience and Freud himself thought that you were theafts sealing even the moral innovatons of other people even the hummus you have stolen, the land, the water, resources of Phalistine…you are a bunch of psychopath theaves and murdurers…everyone is against you because of your unethical immoral criminal actions…you killed children!!! what else you want to be convinced that you are shame of humanity

Did the Jinn whisper into his ear to murder the professor?

And to honor the slain professor, I promise myself to read his writings as well.

I wonder what is so secretive about it. I wasn’t that interested in it until I saw it was blocked. Geeshhhh

Can someone copy and paste or something!

You can’t have one without the other can you? You can speak but if there aren’t ears no one hears and no one will hear if no one speaks. Just write it down!
