Israel's dismantling post-Zionist ultras, ensconsced at its universities and media, have for the past two decades engaged in a lot of navel-gazing. They absorbed Edward Said's appraisal of Western guilt, forgetting he was discussing Arabists - not Arabs. Somewhere along the line in delegitimizing and undermining the Zionist narrative, the Israeli extreme Left failed to see Israel has a real enemy that exists and is dedicated to the country's destruction. The Israel extreme Left sold the country Oslo and a series of territorial concessions and military weakness that far from producing the promised co-existence and peace, have whetted Arab radicalism and brought the country closer to the brink of the next Middle East War. In context, Israel looks far less oppressive than its neighbors. If she were to get rid of her post-Zionist professors and journalists, her prospects of survival would brighten immeasurably.

(No more Olmert! No more Kadima! No more Oslo!)

Sounds like our own leftists here in the USA if you ask me.

Over 40 years of occupation the intellectual basis of the radical intellectual left has been gradually rotting. It has but one reaction to every war; therefore, it has no ability to say anything concrete about justice. It has no criteria by which to distinguish between just war and unjust wars.

Amen.

This applies to liberals the world over.

Olmert's execrable performance will allow the Democrats to dump Israel for a "studied neutralism" should they take power -- whether in the House or Senate in 06, or the presidency in 08.

Discourse points to more discourse and the "other" -- an Arab by any "other" name is still an Arab (just a rose is still a rose) -- wants your death. Be wise or otherwise, Israel!
