Cliff Kincaid, at Accuracy in Media, (I seem to remember I got in with them during the Clinton years; oh my) is trying to prevent Rupert Murdoch/HarperCollins from publishing and promoting former SDS radical Mark Rudd's forthcoming book, Underground. Says Kincaid:
In the speech,
which is available on the same website hawking his forthcoming book,
Rudd also declares, “There is a well-documented continuity over the
last almost forty years between the Labor Party and Likud in their
policies toward the Palestinians and settlement in the Occupied
Territories. I am heartbroken over the moral and spiritual costs of the
Jewish State to the Jewish People. I challenge anyone who thinks of me
as a traitor to my people or a self-hating Jew, both of which I’ve been
called, to visit Palestinians in the West Bank or East Jerusalem for as
little as one-half day. Every Jew needs to see the misery and
humiliation which our Jewish nationalism and racism have wrought.”
Sounds pretty accurate to me! Thanks to Bob Feldman for the tip.
Here's Rudd's book tour, in New York in a couple days. And here's AIM's last attempt to kill Rudd's book.
