COMMENT POSTED TO AN ARTICLE IN RINF
Norman Finkelstein is a thoughtful and decent person, and
the revelation that it was his sarcastic notion that was deliberately
misinterpreted into vicious charges anti-Semitism contains elements of the
Keystone Cops.
Papers like The
Guardian and The Independent have
run the most provocative and truly mindless pieces of propaganda during this
huge McCarthyite hate-fest.
Even the leader of Israel's Labour Party has joined in for
his share of expressions of horror and disbelief that such anti-Semitism can
exist, and that from a man who lives in a country where 5 million people are
prisoners with zero rights, guilty of no crime.
It is all really about killing off Labour leader Jeremy
Corbyn, a man Israel dislikes as too independent-minded.
No one seems to recognize how utterly inappropriate it is
for another country, or even talk of another country, to be guiding political
events in Britain.
This vicious outbreak in Britain actually makes the American
system of political payments to cooperative politicians from the Israel Lobby
seem rather temperate.
