Comments on: Haaretz’s Ari Shavit: The last colonialist http://972mag.com/the-last-colonialist-fisking-uri-shavit/11173/ Independent commentary and news from Israel & Palestine Wed, 22 May 2013 13:25:27 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.4.1 By: Daniel Breslau http://972mag.com/the-last-colonialist-fisking-uri-shavit/11173/comment-page-1/#comment-5964 Daniel Breslau Sun, 27 Feb 2011 01:32:11 +0000 http://972mag.com/?p=11173#comment-5964 Shavit was on Ayala Hasson's show on Channel 1 Friday, spouting more of this stuff. This time he said that it is not the US, but Obama personally, due to his deeply-held "anticolonialist" views (that he picked up from Edward Said at the University of Chicago where Said never taught), that has prevented the US from the more active interventionist approach that Shavit wants. This discourse comes straight from US right-wing figures like Dinesh D'Souza and Newt Gingrich, for whom "anticolonialism" is a way of drawing attention to Obama's race without mentioning race.
