Did you know that Foucault was a homo and therefore would be also persecuted by the Jewish orthodox? Foucault was never a supporter of the State of Israel. F. had an expereince which he nver spoke of. It affected the way he saw things. Focault spoke in favour of the Iran revolt against th e shah. ========================--- Ali Rizvi <ali_m_rizvi-AT-hotmail.com> wrote: <HR> <html><div style='background-color:'><DIV> <P>eldorra</P> <P>do you know Foucault as against Deleuze always supported the state and ppl of Israel?</P> <P>just curious!</P> <P>regards</P> <P>ali</P> <P>"In 1982 or 1983, in Foucault's apartment, we were watching a televised report on the Palestinian-Israeli conflict; at one point one of the combatants (which side he was on is utterly unimportant) was invited to speak. Now this man spoke in terms quite different from the ones ordinarily encountered in political discussions: "I know only one thing", this partisan said, "I want to win back the lands of my forefathers. This is what I have wanted sicne my teens; I don't know where this passion comes from, but there it is". "There we have it at last," Foucault said to me, "everything has been said, there's nothing more to say".</P> <P>(reported by Paul Veyne).</P> <P><BR><BR> </P></DIV> <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV></div><br clear=all><hr>Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at <a href='http://go.msn.com/bql/hmtag_itl_EN.asp'>http://explorer.msn.com</a><br></html> _______________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
