Princeton
University will include a course next semester that will teach about the IDF
shooting Palestinian children in the legs in order to harvest their organs.
A
course at Princeton University next semester will include in its
syllabus a book that claims the IDF harvests the organs of Palestinians. Ynet reported on
Sunday that the course, Decolonizing Trauma Studies from the Global South,
includes the book titled “The Healing Humanities: The Right to Maim,” was
written by Jasbir Puar, a “queer theorist” and the head of the Gender Studies
program at Rutgers University in New Jersey, and published in 2017. The book
alleges that Israel is “supplementing its right to kill with the right to maim”
by enacting an IDF policy of targeted shooting of Palestinians “to maim,
not to kill.”
The
course will be taught by anthropologist Satyel Larson from the university’s
Near Eastern Studies Department. Larson has signed several
anti-Israel petitions, including
at least one call to Boycott, Divest, and Sanction.
The
book, which was approved by the university’s Near Eastern Studies Department
faculty, claims that the bodies of Palestinian children “were mined for organs
for scientific research” by the Israeli military.
A summary of the book explains:
“Puar
uses the concept of ‘debility’—bodily injury and social exclusion brought on by
economic and political factors—to disrupt the category of disability. She shows
how debility, disability, and capacity together constitute an assemblage that
states use to control populations. Puar’s analysis culminates in an
interrogation of Israel’s policies toward Palestine, in which she outlines how
Israel brings Palestinians into biopolitical being by designating them
available for injury.”
The
author essentially blames Israel for shooting to wound terrorists rather
than shooting to kill.
“The
Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) have shown a demonstrable pattern over decades of
sparing life, of shooting to maim rather than to kill,” Puar wrote. “This
is ostensibly a humanitarian practice, leaving many civilians ‘permanently
disabled’ in an occupied territory of destroyed hospitals, rationed medical
supplies, and scarce resources.”
It
should be noted that the IDF’s rules of engagement mandate that when engaging
violent terrorists, the soldier must first issue a verbal warning before firing
a warning shot in the air. If the soldier still feels that his life or the life
of an innocent bystander is threatened, he can shoot to the lower body. This is
intended to stop the terrorist without killing him.
During
a talk on ecological feminism in a panel at Dartmouth University, Puar claimed
that this tactic of using non-lethal methods as a means of harvesting organs
had been documented.
“Several
scholars have been tracing maiming as a deliberate biopolitical tactic on the
part of Israel in the occupation of Palestine,” Puar said. “Medical personnel
in both Gaza and the West Bank reported mounting evidence of shoot-to-cripple
practices of the IDF, more accurately called the Israeli Occupation Forces,
noting an increasing shift from using traditional means such as tear gas and
rubber bullets, rubber-coated metal to disperse crowds to firing at knees,
femurs or aiming for their vital organs,” she added.
In
an article she
authored in 2016, Puar described a lecture she gave at Vassar College in
New York in which she accused Israel of ethnically cleansing Palestinians from
the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. She accused the “occupation” (i.e. Israel)
“of maiming and stunting of children in Gaza,” adding that many Palestinians
believed that the bodies of their children killed in the conflict were “mined
for organs for scientific research.”
While
making it clear that she was not making “empirical
claims”, she accused her critics of trying to silence her with a “manufactured
controversy”.
“I
can only surmise that the charges of anti-Semitism and blood libel leveled
against me were intended to discredit scholarship about the deleterious effects
of the occupation on Palestinian daily life.
The
baseless accusation is similar to blood libels in which anti-Semites falsely
accused Jews of murdering Christian children in order to use their blood to
bake matzah for Passover. This libel has taken a new form as Jew-haters resort
to similar convoluted logic to blame the bloodshed on Jews.
Professor
Jason Hill from the University of DePaul in Chicago criticized the upcoming
course at Princeton, saying it has “zero educational value.”
“It
just gives a lot of third-rate professors a platform from which to indoctrinate
students into left-wing ideologies,” he said.
The
pro-Israel group Stand With Us criticized the inclusion of Puar’s work.
“Jasbir
L. Puar’s The Right to Maim spreads hate and disinformation by implying that
IDF soldiers have a thirst for harming innocent Palestinians,” co-founder and
CEO Roz Rothstein told The Fix via a media statement. “This not only ignores
Israel’s widely recognized efforts to avoid harming civilians but also echoes age-old
antisemitic blood libels.”
The
blood libel of organ harvesting has been waged against the IDF in the past.
Most recently, during an interview with former Israeli Prime Minister
Naftali Bennett about the IDF’s recent counterterrorism raid in Jenin,
BBC News presenter Anjana Gadgi stated that the IDF is “happy to kill
children”.
On
August 17, 2009, the Swedish tabloid Aftonbladet, one of the
largest daily newspapers in the Nordic countries, published an article claiming
that Israeli troops harvested organs from Palestinians who had died in their
custody. The author, Donald Boström, admitted that there was “no conclusive
evidence, only a collection of allegations and suspicious circumstances”, but
he stood by his claims based on the allegations of the families of Palestinians
killed by the Israeli army.
“The
point is that we know there is organ trafficking in Israel,” he told the Arab
news site Menassat. “And we also know that there are families claiming that
their children’s organs have been harvested. These two facts together point to
the need for further investigation.”
The
article was cited around the world by numerous media, including The Guardian
and NBC News. Time Magazine published a retraction of an article based on
Boström’s claims. It also led to speculation that Israeli relief efforts in
Haiti after the earthquake in 2021 were a smokescreen for organ theft operations.
The
libelous article was financed in part by the Swedish Foreign Ministry.
Puar
also authored ‘Terrorist Assemblages: Homonationalism in Queer Times’
(2007) in which she accused Israel of “pinkwashing,” i.e. the outward adoption
of LGBT friendliness to appear progressive, as a tactic to appear as a tolerant
and pluralist society while continuing to act as a “terrorist state.”
The
claim that the IDF harvests the organs of Palestinians was submitted as a formal
complaint to the UN in 2015 by the
Palestinian Authority.
