On reflection, I find it lamentable that the LA Times piece by Avraham Burg, which I welcomed last night, and still do, is the Exalted Burg way up there circling on his thermals. It is all about the Shoah in Israeli life. It does not include his more pointed message about the effects of the Holocaust on American Jewish life, about the Israel lobby, about Jewish power in American society, about the neocons, about Israel's savage treatment of Palestinians, and so forth. I feel that the piece reflects some discomfort with Burg's message in the American media. Let's have this out.

Burg must have been forced to remove his more inflamatory (read 'truthful') ideas, due to the sensitivity of American ears. One more reason to read Ha'aretz, Ma'ariv and the Jerusalem Post.
