I am puzzled by Amy Goodman's pro Palestinian stance. I have been listening to her though for a long time, and have concluded that she is of the persuasion that there is never a need for violence no matter what and that everything can be solved through negotiation, no matter what.
I respectfully disagree with her, but I would never put her in the same boat as Carl Marx. I don't think she's anti-Semitic for her stance. I also don't agree with it. One thing though that would be good for everyone to learn is that you don't always have to agree with someone to admire, listen, or have respect for them. On this issue Amy is absolutely wrong, but on many other issues she's absolutely right. I don't like her stance on this issue, but I do like Amy Goodman.
Essentially, I agree with you. I wasn't suggesting that Goodman was a Marxist but simply facetiously pointing out that as a descendent of rabbis she has something in common with Dr. Marx. And that anti-Semitism isn't unknown to some Jews - paradoxical as that may be.
I think the real problem is that many idealistic (or naive?) people genuinely believe that a quasi-pacifist approach to hostile or aggressive foes is a legitimate position in international affairs. On the contrary, history proves that such a stance actually ENCOURAGES and stimulates aggression and force because it's perceived as weakness.
