He evidently claims to be a leftist. The left - our side of the aisle - really needs to clean up its act and make Antisemitism unacceptable. <br /><br />Socialist Bernard-Henri Lévy has very aptly titled a chapter in his book, <i>Left in Dark Times</i>, as follows: "The New Anti-Semitism will be Progressive - or Nothing at All." That is just about right. And, tt seems more and more that the New Anti-Semitism will be something indeed.N.

I am not an alarmist, and the sky is not falling on American Jews, or on steadfast American support for the State of Israel. But I have been a part of the American labor movement for almost 25 years now and I have become familiar with much of what constitutes the left-of-center in this country. There is a simmering presumption (some innocent and some even laudatory) about Jewish influence that, in light of consistent historical predicate, makes it irresponsible to ignore. In its uglier form, such as the faux but nicely wrapped scholarship of Professors Walt and Mearsheimer, and the extrapolations therefrom, it is nothing less than alarming. When it becomes fashionable to imply that American Jews conspired to send American boys and girls to perish in the deserts of Iraq, it's deja vu all over again.<br /><br />P.S. American unions continue to be some of Israel's biggest American supporters.Brucehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03967844687099664857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7321349.post-77552629687970881382010-10-28T23:18:56.786-07:002010-10-28T23:18:56.786-07:00our dead Professor
