• The world the Jews made, in the Naqab

    Whoa, there! Let's start at the beginning. My actual words were that Israel is the most significant collective project of the Jewish people in our time. "A project" is not the same as "an achievement." But even were I to say "achievement," I would not and did not say, in the same breath or any other, that it is also one of the century's greatest crimes. That is evidently what Blankfort thinks; it is not what I think or believe. I cannot figure out people who choose to lay all the blame for what's happened on one side or the other. In my view, both sides are right, both sides are wrong. That doesn't add up to a crime; it adds up to a tragedy. Plus: I have known, up close, far too many humane Zionists to think Shahak's words more than a failed attempt at cleverness.
