[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Frankly I don't know from watching the video what she was trying to say. Humans are capable of doing some bad things.  Like bombing Pearl Harbor in an unprovoked sneak attack, that kind of thing?  She does know that Iwo Jima was a battle during a declared war, right?

Really, I don't blame her for saying it as much as for her inability to make any kind of coherent point. Does anyone understand what she was trying to say?[/quote]

A typical Omeish comment is a word salad that has two elements:

* First, a relatively banal thought with which few would disagree (for example, students should get involved in their communities, the conditions for Palestinians in the West Bank are abysmal, the internment of Japanese-Americans during WWII was wrong).

* Second, a weird twist that pushes it over the top with odd word choices and unnecessary hyperbole (for example, students should wage "jihad," asserting that Israel "desecrates the Holy Land," and throwing Iwo Jima into the mix when discussing the Day of Remembrance (which is about the internment of Japanese-Americans) and declaring it a "record" for "human evil").

It's intended to be attention-grabbing and to demonstrate to Omeish's allies how progressive she is.  But as often as not she seems to be making it up on the fly and it just comes across as ignorant and obnoxious.

The problem for the rest of us is that we gave her a platform to spout her nonsense, and that needs to come to an end this fall.  [/quote]
