the quote from Tony judt ...blessedly dead....is repugnant to me. It stinks to heaven of a psychosis among the "as a Jews." They 're going to pull out the banal "tikun olam" as the foundation of their Jewishness.....Israel is not fair because we never got the Arab/Muslim approval for our efforts and so we concede to them an permanent and immovable veto on our legitimate rights. The ultra orthodox sects say they are forbidden to lift a finger in their defense against a gentile....but a Jew they can spit on call, call nazi, and physically assault. so much for their pacifisim. You can make your argument with less permutations.
