David Bloom of Adalah NY has done his homework on Georgia. He points out the disturbing connections to Israel, and the misgivings that this is causing Jews of conscience:
Commenting on Israel's role in Georgia, Gabriel Ash notes on Jews Sans Frontieres:
In a pattern that should be alarming, Israel's "Jewish"
politics is recreating a class of Jews that is lavishly paid for
perform international pariah jobs for their masters. Instead of the
medieval Jewish moneylender, Israel helps produce the Jewish arms
dealer and war promoter as new emblems of the contemporary Jewish
identity. Israeli politicians wouldn't mind. Making the world dangerous
for Jews simply confirms their Zionist worldview. What is more
unfortunate is that Jewish community organizations and leaders outside
of Israel are not at all alarmed. Watching how they jump to justify
Israel is like watching a train wreck in slow motion.
And Bloom quotes B Michael, a genius Yediot Aharanot columnist:
oranges and roses, irrigation systems and peppers. Today, we are
distinguished exporters of assault rifles and sophisticated missiles,
spy drones and silencers, instructors of “elite units” and secret
services – and the most terrible thing: experts on assassination and
thuggery.
How long must we be handcuffed to Likdnik neocons? When will Yivo and the Forward and the New York Times convene their panels on the Jewish soul? Will it be too late?
