Hank...
With all due respect I know of no credible Leftist or Progressive who =
blames
Jews or Zionists for 9/11. Many of us blame the State of Israel for =
fanning
the flames of imperialism and being the cause of uncontrolled anger and
resentment among the Arab people. The State of Israel has been =
responsible
for acts of terrorism against Arabs for many years. Arabs, too, have
instigated acts of terrorism, there is no denying. However, Israel bears
much of the blame for the hatred in the Middle East today.
To say those of us who think Israel should be held to task for its
wrongdoings are anti-semitic is akin to accusing those of us who think =
G.W.
Bush should be held accountable for his war crimes of being =
anti-American,
or being Anti-Christian to hold the Christian right wing accountable for
their transgressions.
Wrong is wrong, whether that wrong is committed by an American, A Jew or =
an
Arab or anyone else, for that matter.
I would appreciate not being lumped in with anti-Semitics simply because =
I
think Israel needs to be held accountable for its actions just like =
everyone
else.
Skywolf.
Frodo has failed. Bush has the ring.

(This is forwarded from fightback - http://pnews.org/dada/) The New
Antisemitism
Today, the new anti-Semitism speaks a hundred languages. The mob's =
infernal,
heart-stopping chants, flag burnings, bombings, and executions are shown =
on
television over and over again. The demonization of the Jews and of =
Israel
has created an atmosphere in which the unthinkable and the horrific are
becoming possible. There is a thrilling permissibility in the air the =
kind
of electrically charged and altered reality that acid-trippers or =
epileptics
may experience just prior to a seizure: purple haze, unreality,
disassociation from normalcy, responsibility.
Jews and Zionists are being blamed for 9/11 in Chinese as well as in =
Arabic.
Nobel Prize winners, European and American academics, antiglobalization
activists, and Jews on the Left have all condemned Israel for daring to
defend itself while remaining menacingly silent about the suicide =
bombings
of Israeli civilians. Doctored footage of fake Israeli massacres has now
entered the imagination of billions of people; like pornography, these =
ideas
can never be forgotten.
'Tis a season of blood that's upon us. I knew it from the moment the two
Israeli reservists were lynched in Ramallah in the fall of 2000. The
Palestinian crowds cheered when the smiling murderers proudly displayed
their hands smeared with Jewish blood. I saw them dancing in the blood =
of my
people, partying, like ghouls. No one on the airwaves drew back in =
horror;
they showed these scenes but did not condemn them. International human
rights activists and intellectuals remained silent, as did the United
Nations. I wept because I understood that Jewish history was, once more,
repeating itself. How foolish I'd been to think that we had finally =
escaped
it.
But will six million more have to die before the bloodletting stops?
These days, Israel is far too dangerous a word to pronounce in a western
intellectual or social setting. Say it and you risk uncivil argument.
