One need not read far in Shahak to see that his was a disturbed mind who made a career out of recycling Nazi propaganda about Jews and Judaism. So why bother with him? The answer is that he has been cited for decades by such perfervid Israel-haters as Alexander Cockburn and the late Edward Said. The BBC and NPR also thought it fitting to feature his ravings about Zionism, Judaism, and the Holocaust. Was he not, after all, an Israeli, a Jew, a survivor?."
Disturbed is right! Shahak's head was so thick, even surviving the holocaust didn't teach him anything. Like Chomsky he was mostly a leftist instead of mostly Jewish.
The American left has many like that.

I believe this is true. And sadly true at that. Too many American Jews are leftist first and Jewish a distant second if at all.
Emanuele Ottolenghi, while berating these Jewish individuals who attack Israel, wrote recently that they were few in number and had been totally rejected by the vast majority of Jews. He went on to say that having been rejected by Jews their venom has become even more poisonous.
Every nation, every people, has its traitors. The Jewish people is no different to any other in that.
