The Israelophobic left is a spectrum of hatred that stretches from
the commonplace mainstream media basher who pounds out innumerable
columns blaming Israel for everything wrong with the Middle East to the
Gilad Atzmons and Israel Shamirs who claim that Israel is evil because
the Jews are the devil.

Opposition to Israel has never been rational or objective. It has always been emotional and subjective.
The left’s opposition to Zionism began as a toxic mixture of bigotry and self-hatred; influenced by everything from Karl Marx’s declaration that Jews were the embodiment of capitalism to Lenin’s denunciation of the illegitimacy of Jewish nationhood.
