-Caveat Lector- That's pretty courageous of Cesarani to wait 26 years to attack Koestler -- after Koestler is dead. Why do I feel so safe in concluding that Cesarani is a modern day "Zionist" Jew? The "homeless mind" reminds me of the absurd "self-hating Jew" for any Jewish person that dares to disagree with the dominant (neoZionist) Jewish Lobby party line. The only epithet worth remembering in this regard is Michael Hoffman's charge that this same dominant lobby is seeking to impose a "perpetual funeral home of the mind" on humanity.
