Georgetown University removes anti-Semitic scholar from website
The article reflects a structural imposition of legitimacy, where the academic institution’s decision to remove Albanese is framed as a restoration of “integrity and human dignity.” By doing so, it subtly justifies any form of exclusion or sanction as necessary for upholding certain standards. The language used also reveals a certain bias, referring to Albanese’s anti-Israel stance as “antisemitic rhetoric” and her defense of actions against Israel as “justified terrorism,” suggesting a narrative that is pro-Israel.
A contradiction also arises in the presentation of the US sanctions against Albanese. The sanctions are described as a reaction to her remarks being “biased and malicious,” while Albanese’s response that the measures are “an affront, not just against me, against the United Nations” is left unaddressed. It implies an all-encompassing validity of the US’s actions without examining its potential implications on international diplomacy and the United Nations.

Feldstein: ‘The Prime Minister was in the picture’
The story presents a structural breakdown by positioning Feldstein’s actions—releasing a sensitive document—to be in service of his boss, implying that it was a necessary action. It does not question the ethical implications of such a move nor does it challenge the power dynamics involved. Furthermore, the story uses euphemistic language, referring to Feldstein’s decision to bypass censorship in Israel as a “well-known practice,” normalizing such actions without questioning their potential harm to democratic values.
The story also reveals a contradiction between Feldstein’s denial of knowledge about Urich and Einhorn’s alleged work for Qatar and his position as a close associate of the prime minister. This discrepancy between Feldstein’s stated ignorance and his role is left unexamined, suggesting an uncritical acceptance of his statement.
A Tale of Two Cities: Coexistence and Intolerance
The article reveals a structural breakdown where the act of arson in Jenin is framed not as a crime but as a “calculated assertion of dominance.” The burning of the Christmas tree is described as a geopolitical signal rather than a hate crime against the Christian community. The language used to describe this event is misleading, as it shifts the blame from the perpetrators to the Palestinian Authority and the Western countries that provide aid, implying a failure of governance and financial support rather than individual responsibility.
The story also contradicts itself. On one hand, it praises Israel’s protection of the Christian community, and on the other, it criticizes the West and the Vatican for their silence on the arson attack. It implies a double standard where Israel’s actions are seen as commendable while others’ inaction is criticized. The story does not address this inconsistency, suggesting a biased narrative.

Jabotinsky’s warning for Jews in the Diaspora
Structural breakdowns appear in the article through the framing of self-defense as an inevitable response to historical reality. By using phrases like “the compulsion of historic reality,” the article legitimizes the violent defense measures it promotes, such as learning to shoot, implying they are a necessary and unavoidable part of Jewish survival. This aligns with the rhetoric of Jabotinsky, who is quoted advocating for violent self-defense and even preemptive attacks.
A contradiction is evident in the article’s claim that “history allows no permanent diaspora safety” while simultaneously championing the efforts of Jewish diaspora communities to organize and defend themselves. This contradiction between the stated impossibility of diaspora safety and the active promotion of diaspora defense is left unexplored in the article, suggesting a lack of critical analysis in the narrative.
