Israeli Rabbitism – A Case Study

Another reader link that needs its own post:

The “star” of the story is a leftist extremist named Ezra Nawi, who has become something of a poster boy for the radical Left. “Nawi” is a well-known and ordinarily distinguished surname among Jews who came from Iraq. Most of these are patriotic Zionists, but a small minority of them were communists back in Iraq in the 1940s/1950s and have remained such. A few of these Iraqi Jews continue to embrace communism, like the radical anti-Zionist sociologist from Tel Aviv University, Yehouda Shenhav.

Nawi famously was convicted of pedophilia and rape of a minor boy some years ago. Later he was also convicted of violently attacking police as part of a riot of violent Palestinians he helped lead. He speaks Arabic and likes to dress as an Arab. He is active in small far-leftist anti-Israel NGOs operating in Israel that pretend to be “human rights groups,” including B’tselem and Taayoush. These are foreign-funded subversive groups that have never heard of any human right for Jews worthy of being defended and certainly not the right of self-defense against genocidal terror and Islamofascist aggression. They are also notoriously indifferent to violations of free speech rights of anyone not from the far Left.

Those arrests turned Nawi into a minor folk hero for the radical Left around the world, where people like Noam Chomsky came out in support of him. Within Israel the anti-Israel Tenured Left embraced Nawi. The anti-Semitic pro-terror pseudo-academic Neve Gordon from Ben Gurion University, Israel’s Norman Finkelstein, who has himself served illegally as a human shield to defend terrorists and disrupt IDF anti-terror operations, leads the Nawi groupies. Gordon claims Nawi’s only offense is being too caring and compassionate. The campaign to support the Pedophile for Palestine has gone global. The presidential bid in Ireland in 2011 was disrupted when it was disclosed that candidate Senator David Norris was intimately tied to Nawi and had supported him. Norris had to drop out of the race.

Nawi in recent days suddenly was thrust into the limelight when he was the subject of an expose broadcast by Israel’s leading investigative reporter, Ilana Dayan, on the prestigious “Uvda (Fact)” television news show. Dayan, who is hardly a right-winger, broadcast a tape made surreptitiously by an investigator who had infiltrated Taayoush. There Nawi boasts about informing to the PLO about Arabs who have sold land to Jews, saying he knows full well that they will be tortured and murdered for this “crime.” As part of the PLO’s moderation and devotion to

It has it all. A pathetic specimen trying to curry favor with a hostile out-group to defeat his own in-group. He is loved by communists. He hates K-strategists like cops and military. In having molested a young boy, he has exhibited both a reversal of sexual preference, and a desire to mate with younger partners.

This is a guy whose amygdala has adapted to the r-strategy as a means of avoiding conflict and stress. His strategy works, as it allows him to shut off what would normally be a high degree of amygdala triggering at the thought of hostile Islamofascists wanting to kill him. Benjamin Netanyahu obviously quiets his amygdala differently, preferring to meet each threat with a practically-minded attempt to destroy or thwart it, combined with an in-grouping urge to ally with like-minded, threat-meeting psychologies.

As a rule, r-amygdalae, which meet enough threat that conflict avoidance becomes untenable, should eventually be driven to try and ameliorate that unavoidable threat with reality-based measures to counteract it, and thus transition to K. This is conditioning. If you have always been able to avoid threat, your amygdala will try to avoid threat in the future. If you have been forced to meet threat your amygdalae will become trained to meet threats practically, and that will be your go-to response in the future.

Unknown is if the K-drive to see r-strategists forced to meet threat is an attempt to train their rabbity brains, or if it is just a desire to destroy those who seek to destroy them. As a strategy it works either way.

Apocalypse makes us what we are meant to be.
