QUESTION: The poet says, “We are fortunate that our enemy is Israel, because the Jews are the centre of the world.” What is your understanding of this idea that the Jewish people, the pariah of the nations for 20 centuries, is the centre of the world?
GODARD: What does that mean, “the centre of the world”? Here’s how I understand it. There is something very original about the Israelis, but they’ve introduced the idea of origin into their originality. Origin means that someone came first. They have theorized about all that, and so it’s completely normal that what happened to them did happen to them, and they’ve been able to theorize about it because it happened to them.
i believe in this – and it’s been tested by research

Research regarding the psychology of antisemitism has slowed considerably
since the 1960s. At the time, the findings of one major study summed up
antisemitic myths and their pervasiveness in the following manner: “A
pathology is present, but it is in the beliefs, not necessarily in the individual who
accepts them.” (Selznick & Steinberg, 1969. p.190) And while some individuals
can repel such beliefs, most do not. (Baum, 2004) Some beliefs are more
pathological than others and are known to foster intergroup hostilities. (Eidelson
& Eidelson, 2004)
For instance, while Osama bin Landen and Al Qaeda are acknowledged as
perpetrators behind 9/11, a Gallup Poll (2002) of 10,000 Muslims reported that
20% believed it to be true. The vast majority consistently blamed the West and
specifically “the Jews,” as the force behind the attack on America.
: the mutually reinforcing hypocrisy of the two sides, the anti-Semitic Christian fundamentalists and the Zionists, is breath-taking. Politically, the reconciliation between Gibson and Foxman signals an obscene pact between anti-Semitic Christian fundamentalists and aggressive Zionists, whose expression is the growing support of the fundamentalists for the State of Israel (recall Pat Robertson’s claim that Sharon’s heart attack was the divine punishment for the evacuation of Gaza). The Jewish people will pay dearly for such pacts with the devil – can one imagine what a boost to anti-Semitism will give Foxman’s offer? “So if I now say something critical about Jews, I will be forced to submit to psychiatric therapy…”
What underlies the final reconciliation is, obviously, an obscene quid pro quo. Foxman’s reaction to Gibson’s outburst was not too severe and too demanding; on the contrary, it let Gibson all too easy off the hooks. It accepted Gibson’s refusal to take full personal responsibility for his words (his anti-Semitic remarks): they were not really his own, it was pathology, some unknown force that took over under the influence of alcohol. However, the answer to Gibson’s question “where those vicious words came from?” is ridiculously simple: they are part and parcel of his ideological identity, formed (as far as one can say) in large extent by his father. What underlied Gibson’s remarks was not madness, but a well-known ideology (anti-Semitism).
Consequently, what Gibson needs is not therapy, it is not the admission that “he has a problem,” but the acceptance of his responsibility for his remarks – concretely, what he has to do is to ask himself in what way his outburst is linked to his version of Catholicism, and functions as its obscene underside. In other words, his hypocrisy is a small-scale replica of the hypocritical reaction of the Catholic Church to pedophilia flourishing in its ranks.

Somebody I never met
But in a way I know
Didn’t think that you could get
So much from a picture show
Man dies first reel
People ask what’s the deal
This ain’t how it’s supposed to be
Don’t like no aborigine.
Took a trip in powis square
Pop star dyed his hair
No fans to scream and shout
When mobsters came to flush him out
Gangland slaying underground
New identity must be found
On the left bank for a while
Insanity bohemian style
Ritual-ideas-relativity
Only building-no people-prophecy
Time slide-place to hide-nudge reality
Foresight-minds wide-magic imagery.
Met a dwarf that was no good
Dressed like little red riding hood
Bad habit taking life
Calling card a six inch knife
Ran off really fast
Shouted something bout the past
Best sex I’ve ever seen
As each moment was the last
Drops of blood colour slide
Funeral for his bride
But it’s him who’s really dead
Gets to take the funeral ride
Ritual-ideas-relativity
Only building-no people-prophecy
Time slide-place to hide-nudge reality
Foresight-minds wide-magic imagery.
Space guy fell from the sky
Scratch my head and wondered why
Time slides into time
Across international dateline
Scientist eats bubblegum
Hall of fame baseball
Senators a hoodlum
Big chiefs in the hall
Ritual-ideas-relativity
Only building-no people-prophecy
Time slide-place to hide-nudge reality
Foresight-minds wide-magic imagery.
Stray thoughts fear to tread
Placed upon the screen instead
She’s my flame to hot to hold
Had to settle for her cold
Blood lust-Greek god-gold discovery
Gone bust-tight wad-slow recovery
Axe job-flame thrower-iron bar and gun
Betting shop-new owner-a walk in the sun
Ritual-ideas-relativity
Only building-no people-prophecy
Time slide-place to hide-nudge reality
Foresight-minds wide-magic imagery.
Spread the news the maestros back
With a beat-box sound track
The king of brains -queen of the sack
Executive has heart attack
Its assault course celluloid
The money makers would avoid
Sometimes notions get reversed
Centre of the universe
Ritual-ideas-relativity
Only building-no people-prophecy
Time slide-place to hide-nudge reality
Foresight-minds wide-magic imagery.
