There is one important difference between the Radical Left in America and the Radical Left in Israel. While in both cases they seek the destruction of their own country, the American Left, by and large, never came out in open endorsement of the crimes of "Taliban John" (John Walker Lindh) and denounced his collaboration with the enemy of their nation, while the Israeli Far Left contains many people knocking themselves over to line up to celebrate the crimes of the Israeli analogue to him, Tali Fahima. And now it turns out Tali Fahima has been on the PLO's payroll.



While the Israeli Moonbats have been insisting their Taliban Jane was "set up", the press has been reporting that she has been drawing a monthly income from the PLO. The payments were a result of a request submitted by Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades' terror leader Zakariya Zubeidi, Fahima's boyfriend. Simlar payments are made by the PLO to other imprisoned terrorists who have worked for it. Fahima illustrates the clear and present danger of participation in violence by Israel's seditious Left.



Just to fill you in on the background, Tali Fahima is a 30-year-old Jewish, extremist "peace activist" who is in jail awaiting trial for serving as an accomplice to, and collaborator with, her Palestinian terrorist boyfriend from Jenin, whom she assisted in planning terrorist atrocities against Jewish civilians. Tali's arrest will come as a shock only for those who have been blissfully ignorant of the nature and the agenda of Israel's radical Left over the past two decades. In reality, just like the American campus Left has long been little more than a movement of anti-Americanism, so Israel's far-left is today little more than a movement of anti-Israelism and Jewish self-hatred.



Along with the rest of her comrades, Tali Fahima frequently demonstrated against Israeli "oppression" and "occupation" of Palestinians. Like the rest of her comrades, the real "rights of the Palestinians" she was interested in defending were the "rights" of Palestinians to conduct mass murder and genocide against Jews. She is in jail for her "alliance", one between a Jewish leftist and a Palestinian terrorist, which has become symbolic of the broader alliance between the anti-Semitic Jewish Left and Islamist fascism and terror - the real "axis of evil" currently endangering Israeli survival.



Much of Israel's Left has recruited itself on behalf of the imprisoned terrorist Fahima, and the web is full of petitions endorsing her and celebrating her participation in terrorism against Jews. Some of the signers of these have tenure at Israeli universities, where their salaries are paid by the same Israeli civilians whom Tali Fahima's friends want to murder.



Israel's radical leftists seek the destruction of their own country. They consider their country an evil, apartheid monstrosity and they are willing to see as many Jews murdered as it takes to end this "Zionist abomination".



For the past two decades, Israel's leftists, led by the academic extremists and tenured traitors from Israeli universities, have served as the attack dogs against their own country. Like "Taliban John" and the handful of other American-born terrorists, they regard their own country as the embodiment of all that is evil. They justify Palestinian terror and atrocities (and also support the Iraqi "resistance" against the United States and Britain), while denouncing every effort by Israel to defend its civilians as "state terrorism" and as barbarism. The only form of resistance against terror by Israel they are willing to countenance is total capitulation to Arab fascism.



Israeli leftists today serve as the Jews-for-hire, as the Israel-bashing court jesters, for every anti-Semitic and Israel-hating organization, magazine and web site on earth. The anti-Semites never tire of the rush and thrill of seeing yet another Jewish leftist willing to declare from their podium that all the problems of the planet are the Jews' fault, that the Jewish Israelis are evil and greedy and racist, that Israel is an aggressor and the obstacle to peace, and that Arab atrocities and violence are the understandable response of "oppressed" Arabs to Jewish bullying.
