Well there are no moderators on the list, but perhaps could we could exercise some self-criticism. I don't know whether the horror experienced by Ismail (iil01-AT-aber.ac.uk) was occasioned by Pierre's remark or by Daedalus's incomprehensive question, but I would imagine Bourdieu exclaiming sheer horror by reading such palpable misanthropic crap on a list devoted to his work. I could understand how such revisionist standpoints could get a foothold in scholastic philosophical milieus which Bourdieu rightly criticised in a series of publications or in political bastions where impotence and powerlessness would make them deny the reality of everything. This is not only a matter of anti-semitism. It has much further consequences. It is a matter of how we are to conduct anything which could qualify as socioanalysis in Bourdieu's sense. The criminal behaviour of Israel is not an excuse for anyone denying one of the most horrible facts from the bloodstained history of mankind. Neither does the Holocaust provide the jews with any license to treat the Palestinians the way they now do. If we are to learn anything from our history we would better start being sincere and keep away from using history as weapons against our enemies, real or imagined. Please Daedalus. Go trade your murky business somewhere else, or, better, start to think. Start to practice some of what Bourdieu has taught us.
