Rebecca Gould, Lecturer At Bristol University, Attacked By Claims Of Anti Semitism And “Holocaust Denial” For Scholarly Article – Israeli World Domination
Feb 212017
 

Bristol University is investigating claims of anti-Semitism after an article by one of its lecturers emerged, in which she says Jews should stop “privileging” the Holocaust.

Dr Rebecca Gould, a reader in translation studies and comparative literature at the elite Russell Group university, has been accused of using the “language of Holocaust denial”.

The university said they are “actively looking into this matter”, which first arose when an undergraduate penned an open letter to his lecturer last month, explaining his shock at coming across the article.

Sir Eric Pickles MP, who is the UK’s special envoy on post-Holocaust issues and a former Conservative Party chairman,​claimed it is “one of the worst cases of Holocaust denial” he has seen in recent years, adding that she should “consider her position” at the university.

The article  is titled Beyond Anti-Semitism and was published in a 2011 edition of the American radical left-wing magazine Counter Punch while Dr Gould was an assistant professor at the University of Iowa.

She claims that the Holocaust is “available to manipulation by governmental elites, aiming to promote the narrative most likely to underwrite their claims to sovereignty.”

Dr Gould goes on to say that casting the Holocaust as a “holy event” allows it to be used as a tool by the state of Israel to “whitewash its crimes”.

She adds that “Israel must find a way of not passing on the crimes the Nazis introduced into the world onto the next generation of its citizens”.

She concludes by writing that “perhaps the time has come to stop privileging the Holocaust as the central event in Jewish history”.

When contacted by The Telegraph, Dr Gould declined to retract her comments, arguing that her article was a “rallying call to action” for “people of conscience horrified by the slaughter of six million Jews by the Nazi regime to stand up against all atrocities and injustices today around the world, including in the occupied Palestinian territories”.

Denying claims of anti-Semitism Dr Gould quoted  Edward W. Said: “The task of criticism…is to make distinctions…To oppose Zionism in Palestine has never meant, and does not now mean, being anti-Semitic.”

Sir Eric said: “To describe the murder of six million Jewish people like this frankly beggars belief. I am all for debate and freedom and speech but this passes into a new dimension”.

Gideon Falter, chairman of the charity Campaign Against Anti-Semitism, called on the university to dismiss Dr Gould, adding that the university’s mention of “academic freedom” leaves him with “scant confidence in the quality of their investigation”

A spokesman for Bristol University said that the vice-Chancellor received a formal letter of complaint about the lecturer at the end of last week.

“Academic freedom and freedom of speech are at the heart of our mission at the University of Bristol,” the spokesman said.

“Since receiving a letter from the Campaign against Anti-Semitism yesterday we are actively looking into this matter.”
