I love Haaretz, it is covering clashes between twisted sicko Jewish colonialists in Hebron trying to disrupt the Palestinian olive harvest and international press/volunteers. Photographers were injured, slightly, so was a British woman trying to help. An international effort, and the American press is of course afraid. Where is Nightly News? Haaretz understands the crisis of soul that its society is in. So does the British Christian lady, so does David Bloom who sent me this. So does Anna Baltzer who talked last night in the Hudson Valley. So does Joel Kovel who introduced her. Kovel has written about "state-sponsored racism."
I got a call from Steve F the other day and said to him, "Pogroms, Steve, pogroms." "Really, do you think so?" The longer American Jews– the beneficiaries of great civil motions to end pogroms; you should see the beautiful houses that Steve and I live in– lie to themselves about what's going on in their name, the greater the chasm of suffering we are walking down into…
By the way, Baltzer said that the vast majority of Jewish settlers are subsidized by the Israeli government. Can some wise commenter supply "the gen," as Hem used to say (I'm being pretentious: intelligence, Hemingway).
