Stating that Manchester United was never “dispossessed” of its British identity, Robert Kehoe III paraphrases Julia Kristeva, a Consulting Editor for Interlitq

Julia Kristeva

Julia Kristeva, the French philosopher who is a Consulting Editor for Interlitq, has been cited in “Soccer View - The Ferguson Paradigm: A Brief American Memoir” (Robert Kehoe III, Soccer Nation, 24.05.13): “From Cantona and Ronaldo, to Vidic, Park, Hernandez and Van Persie, the club’s development was spiced with international flavor, but that flavor never dispossessed United of its British identity.  Where the Premier League’s elite resembled a UN meeting, or a G20 summit, Manchester United maintained the look of a team that welcomed foreigners (players and fans alike), without becoming foreign.  Or, to consider a paraphrase from the French philosopher and psychoanalyst Julia Kristeva, United never became a stranger to itself.”

Bernard-Henri Lévy adula a Azar Nafisi, una Editora Consultora de Interlitq, por “su indefectible adhesión a Estados Unidos de América, su país”

Azar Nafisi

Escribiendo en El País (20.05.13), el filósofo francés Bernard-Henri Lévy cita a Azar Nafisi, la escritora iraní que es una Editora Consultora de Interlitq: El honor de los musulmanes reposa en esos profesores universitarios norteamericanos (Azar Nafisi, Ahmed al Rahim),….que, inmediatamente después del 11 de septiembre, condenaron el terrorismo, denunciaron a los “jeques de la muerte” como Yusef al Qaradawi, el profesor loco de Al Yazira, y expresaron su indefectible adhesión a Estados Unidos de América, su país.

Fadela Amara terms Martha Nussbaum, a Consulting Editor for Interlitq, man-like for stating that banning the burqa is “an intolerable invasion of privacy”

Martha Nussbaum

Martha Nussbaum, the U.S. intellectual who is a Consulting Editor for Interlitq, has been cited in “French activist lifts the veil on the burqa ban: Former minister in the French government Fadela Amara defended the ‘Burqa Ban’ at International House on Wednesday” (Celia Bever, The Chicago Maroon, 24.05.13):

CM: You have called the veil “the visible symbol of the subjugation of women.” In 2010, UChicago Professor Martha Nussbaum wrote that such an argument used in favor of the ban is flawed, because there are other symbols of female objectification, like pornography and plastic surgery, which are not banned. To ban them, including the burqa, she said, would be “an intolerable invasion of liberty.” How would you respond to that?

FA: It sounds like a man speaking.

Translator: C’est une femme.

FA: C’est une femme?

Translator: Oui…. She takes it back; she thought it was a man.

Sari Nusseibeh, a Vice-President of Interlitq, condemns anti-Israeli stance adopted by Omar Barghouti and Judith Butler

Sari Nusseibeh

Sari Nusseibeh, the Palestinian intellectual who is a Vice-President of Interlitq, has been cited in “The voices of BDS, Asaf Romirowsky, Ynetnews, 24.05.13): “In contrast to Barghouti, Butler and so many others, leaders like Sari Nusseibeh, the president of Al Quds University and Menachem Magidor, president of Hebrew University produced a joint declaration stating that only, “through cooperation based on mutual respect, rather than boycotts or discrimination, that our common goals can be achieved …Our disaffection with, and condemnation of, acts of academic boycotts is predicated on the principles of academic freedom, human rights and equality between nations and among individuals.” While the BDS movement claims to champion the Palestinian cause, it doesn’t even come close nor does it further peace or support the idea of a two-state solution.”
