Weren't there cheetahs and lions within the last 300 years? I wonder if there's any prior history of crocodiles in hula which is extraordinary with or without them or in Israel?
So much of vomitous output of the progressive Left in the social sciences sounds indistinguishable from satire… (which is how things like Sokal hoax are able to happen)
I love how the biggest politically biased idiots who claim to be purely objective are the ones who find politics and impurity in everything. Thanks Rabbi Doctor for showing us how crazy it can get!
Bravo to R’ Slifkin for actually doing the work of a true scholar and checking her citations!
Far too often, someone will site an authoritative-sounding source in support of his position, but if you go back to the primary source (who bothers doing that?) you find that the source actually says no such thing. Disingenuous academic sleight-of-hand…
"Palestinians who are happy to change from traditional hunting practices?"
The implication is that Palestinian Arabs were pre neolithic hunter gatherers. It is clear from 16th century Ottoman census records that they were a settled people engaged in agriculture trade and a little industry. They didn't hunt animals for food. Indeed as almost all were Muslim they would have only eaten animals slaughtered via the halal process (which is identical to kosher shechita).
According to Rabbi Slifkin's Torah Encyclopedia of the Animal Kingdom, the last bear killed in Israel "... was shot in the Druze village of Majdal Shams in the Golan Hights in 1917". I assume it was killed by a Druze resident. He doesn't say if it was to protect the populace or if the shooter was a hunter. But then again, Druze are not Muslims.
It sounds like satire👀
thanks for bringing this up

Go back far enough and you'll find giraffes and hippopotamuses in Israel, but that's prehistoric.

Charlie, there's lots of errors here. Muslims can and do hunt for food.

Not exactly. Halal allows two cuts.
Ah, the most interesting part to come. :-)
"She brings posthumanist sensitivities to her ethnographic examinations of conservation politics in various settings."
Oh dear God.
Amazing that a law professor would write such jibberish.
