Trotskyite Trash in Israel

Alon Dahan is one of the best columnists in Israel.  He often writes on the NFC.CO.IL web site.

Today he has a must-read article there, available only in Hebrew, entitled "The Trotskyist Revolution is On".  He begins by noting that most people in Israel, at least outside of certain pseudo-academic post-Zionist circles, understand that Stalin was an evil genocidal dictator.  But for some reason, Leon Trotsky has always been regarded with a bit of forgiving admiration by the members of Israel's intelligentsia and Moonbatocracy.  

Dahan's article is as sharp as the ice pick of a Stalinist agent.  He argues that if anything Trotsky was more radical and pro-violence than Uncle Joe Stalin, the one-time "Sun of the Nations" in the words of Mapam's party newspaper.  Trotsky was far more imperialistic in insisting that the Soviet Union should undermine democratic capitalist regimes all over the world, whereas Stalin was content just with mass murdering Soviet Union citizens, and later lots of Poles and other Eastern Europeans.  

Trotsky also was of the opinion that Jews should simply commit mass national suicide and mass assimilate into the surroundings.  Dahan argues that this is what makes him so attractive to the leftist chattering classes in Israel today.  Trotsky showed his "progressiveness" by displaying self-hatred and anti-Semitism and supporting those seeking to annihilate the Jews.  Just like our own local Post-Zionists.  And the Israeli leftists are all being sustained by the busybodies and anti-Semites from the EU.  

Dahan then goes on to list the many examples of activist organization on the Israeli Left that are driven by little more than Trotsky-like Jewish anti-Semitism, or what Dahan calls Beilinite Trotskyism.  The far-Leftist pseudo-academics in Israeli universities are no better.

Trotsky in need of ACAMOL after meeting up with an ice pick:

Years ago, a student asked me if I could explain to him the difference between a Trotskyite and a Trotskyist.  I replied that it was exactly the same as the diffence between a pile of cow manure and a pile of bull manure.

So can anyone explain what the difference is between Israel's Trotskyite Post-Zionist pseudo-academics and the David-Irving-Ernst-Zundel movement?

Is the AJCommittee now Promoting the "Apartheid" Lie?

Non-Eliminationist Blood Libels?
Is the American Jewish Committee now Promoting the "Apartheid Israel" Libel?

You know how the very liberal American Jewish Comnittee has a rep among the moonbats for being rightwing? It is because the AJCommittee nominally sponsors Commentary Magazine.

Well, now it appears that the AJCommittee is jumping on the Bash-Israel Bandwagon and endorsing some of those assertions that Israel is an apartheid regime. At least so says the Meretz USA web site here:

"Among the guest speakers who dropped by briefly, were Columbia U. president Lee Bollinger (an impressively thoughtful individual) and Todd Gitlin (the 60s-era radical and today's prominent liberal academic)....
The major distinction that was made is between those who use the Apartheid analogy for 'eliminationist' or 'unconscionable' purposes - with the intend of undermining Israel;s existence as a Jewish state - and those (like Carter) who employ the analogy for 'conscionable' reasons, to eliminate the inhumane hardships and injustices that the Palestinians endure under occupation. The main difference of opinion seemed to be on whether to simply refute or dismiss the Apartheid analogy or to allow the truth of valid criticisms of Israeli policies. In the end, there was consensus that a good response to the Apartheid analogy can be a nuanced statement that would contain the following elements: 'Apartheid is not the issue' but the issue includes ending settlement expansion and occupation on the one side and the need to end violence and terror on the other."

Israel of course is the only Middle East regime that is NOT an apartheid regime. So non-eliminationist assertions that Israel is an apartheid regime are suddenly kosher for the AJCommittee members? Maybe the AJCommittee will next claim - non-eliminationally of course - that Israel was behind the 911 attacks on the US? Or that Jews drink gentile blood for Passover?

They Don't Mean "Jews," Do They?

According to B'tzelem, the legality of the purchase by Jewish owners is irrelevant and "the IDF has the obligation to make sure that settlers don't take over more areas."
