David Landau’s Criticism of Goldstone: Even the Self-Absorbed See a Problem
Middle East • September 2009 • Views: 460
Even hyper-self-critic David Landau, whose astonishingly self-destructiive advice to Condaleeza Rice, I’ve discussed before, finds Goldstone unpalatable. And yet, he remains firmly inside his moral narcissism, obsessing over the four-dimensional Israeli soul, implicitly treating Gentiles as three-dimensional bit players, and the Palestinians as two dimensional cardboard figures whose moral angency does not even exist.
Even for Goldstone, getting criticized by someone like Landau has to hurt. From fashlah to fadihah.
