Israel’s supposed ‘left’ newspaper had a piece published today by their resident
right wing scholar, Avi Shavit. For years he has written critical articles about Israel’s zionist left, I imagine thinking of himself as an expert for simply sharing office space with a handful of them….. *
BUT,
* He always seems to be wrong about whatever topic he decides to write about. THIS article from +972 gives a pretty good picture of the man I am talking about and his writings.
* Today he outdid himself, both in literary style and content; in other words he has no idea what he is talking about. His article is based on the premise that Grass’ profound moral failure and the Zionist left’s profound failure to respond are a bad sign. They show that leading intellectuals in the West and Israel are no longer capable of defending Israel. Perhaps he should accept the fact that even the zionist left has opinions that differ from his own. Perhaps they are not defending Israel because Israel is WRONG. It’s mighty pompous of him to speak for a group that he obviously abhors. It’s also mighty confusing to try to understand why he is not on the payroll of the Jerusalem Post rather than HaAretz’s.
