I WAS NOT ELECTED TO WATCH MY PEOPLE SUFFER AND DIE WHILE YOU DISCUSS THIS INVASION IN A COMMITTEE!

OK, so Natalie Portman isn't the Queen of the Jews, but her people are under attack, both by suicide bombers in resteraunts, cafes, and hotels, and by a surge of rabid anti-Semetism that has much of the world blaming turning a blind eye to the attacks and condeming Israel. And, if we did have an election for the position, let's just say I don't see Alicia Silverstone or anyone else posing much of threat to her campaign.

Anyway, Natalie, who is attending The Greatest University in the World (Since I can't afford to give the College Fund any money, the least I can do is give it publicity points), recently responded to a virulently anti-Israel column that had appeared in the Crimson.

Here's law student Faisal Chaudry, attacking Israel using Critical Race Theory for Dummies:

As the cruel Israeli invasion of the occupied territories continues, atrocities emerge daily. White Israeli soldiers destroy refugee camps of the brown people they have dispossessed for decades...Once again, as during the first intifada, the racist colonial occupation stands naked, paid for with U.S. aid and purchased over decades at the expense of Palestinian life, land, and identity

Here's Natalie's response:

[Chaudhry's racial rhetoric] is a distortion of the fact that most Israelis and Palestinians are indistinguishable physically. The Israeli government itself is comprised of a great number of Sephardic Jews, many of whom originate from Arab countries. The chief of staff of the army, the minister of defense, the minister of finance . . . and the president of Israel are all 'brown.' One might have an idea of the physical likeness between Arabs and Israelis by examining this week's Newsweek cover on which an 18-year-old female Palestinian suicide bomber and her 17-year-old female Israeli victim could pass for twins...Outrageous and untrue finger-pointing is a childish tactic that disregards the responsibility of all parties involved.

Chaudhry had the chutzpah to claim that the Crimson published the letter only because Portman is a movie star. Right, Faisal - like the Crimson had used highly selective standards when it publiched your mindless diatribe. (BTW, did you write that yourself, or merely translated something out of the Arab state press). Perhaps what upsets Chaudhry is that his inane racialist argument was taken apart by Entertainment Weekly's cover girl. Long live the Queen (or Senator)!!! Long live the Queen!
