<> I'd like to note here that Nazis, or translated "National Socialists", were, at the risk of being redundant, Socialists. SOCIALISTS. This could *possibly* be argued as *perhaps* a more Left-oriented ideology. hmmm.

Nice to see a liberal wake up. Unfortunately, she still parrots the annoying misunderstanding that Nazis were on the political right of the spectrum.
To wit: Evil has come to Jews mostly from the Right - from the Church during a large part of its history, and certainly from Nazism and fascism.
Sorry kids, Nazi = National Socialist, not "Republican" or "Conservative"

What a great article! Thanks for the ping!

The Left, by definition, is "no account".

I was quite satisfied there - the kibbutz used to give money every month to the Vietcong.

Can anyone explain this to me?

"...We have to realize that legitimization is in our own hands."

Which brings up an interesting point; a "trend" and "slant" I have noticed that is almost inperceptibly cropping up in much of the commentary coming in from overseas Jewish sources. I think it really struck me when one writer in an article recently posted (can't remember which one -- too many) coined the term "Post-Zionism" as a cultural awareness/awakening happening in the Jewish community in Israel.

The first time someone refered to me as a "Zionist Christian," I was a little taken aback. Flattered by the sentiment, indeed, but I always understood Zionism to be an exclusively Jewish movement/institution and the main era pre-1948. Israel is established, vibrant, still very much alive and productive as an independant nation.

So, where does the Jewish nation go from here? Continually vascillating and on the defensive, tolerating the whims of men more concerned with their "legacies" and standing in the eyes of a sullen and hostile world, constantly selling out national security and interests for ... what? Money? The American foreign aid that the Administrations constantly threaten to "review" and pull?

That's just plain prostitution. Jewish culture, especially in Israel, is better than that.

The Left always says that its criticism of Israel is not anti Semitic. This article does a good job of refuting that. In fact, the writer makes it look obvious.

Now, if only the American Jewish population would notice what's going on, or at least would quit denying it to themselves.

I've never heard of this lady before, but she sounds suspiciously like David Horowitz. I wonder . . . ;-)

In 1967 I was a communist, like most Italian youngsters

Speak for yourself, sister! In 1980, this 12 year old NYC italian-american kid had a Reagan/Bush button on his schoolbag!
