Earlier this week I learned from the\u00a0<\/span>Jerusalem post<\/span><\/strong><\/a>\u00a0<\/span>how desperate notorious Zionists Alan Dershowitz and ADL\u2019s Abe Foxman are to stop my new book \u2018The Wandering Who\u2019.\u00a0 It seems that Foxman, Dershowitz and their allies amongst the Jewish \u2018anti\u2019-Zionists (aka \u2018anti-Zionist Zionists\u2019 or AZZ) are in a state of total hysteria. So far, the book has been endorsed by some of the most\u00a0<\/span>distinguished academics, writers and humanists<\/span><\/strong><\/a>\u00a0<\/span>in contemporary discourse. It has been praised on every dissident outlet around the world.<\/span><\/p>\n But it\u2019s also obvious to every person who reads me that there is not a drop of racism, bigotry or anti Semitism in any of my writing. In my entire writing career I have never criticized Jews as people, ethnicity or race. Nor do I criticise Judaism.\u00a0 What I do is to scrutinize Jewish ideology and culture and I argue that if Israel defines itself as the \u2018Jewish State\u2019 and drops bombs on civilians from airplanes decorated with Jewish symbols, then surely it is our moral duty to question what this \u2018Jewishness\u2019 is all about.<\/span><\/p>\n In fact my biggest contribution to the discourse is my attempt to offer a critical argument against Jewish identity politics that is both ethically grounded and based on universal thought.<\/span><\/p>\n But it seems that those who try to stop the book refuse to read it. Instead, they recycle empty labels that cannot be substantiated. The Jerusalem Post wrote this week,\u00a0\u201cThe Wandering Who, has been described as contemporary cultural racism and as an attack on Jewish identity inspired by Soviet anti Semitism\u201d<\/em>\u00a0Needless to say, \u2018cultural racism\u2019 is a misnomer.\u00a0 There is nothing wrong with cultural criticism as long as it is not racist, and racism is clearly something that will not be found in any of my texts. And what about \u2018Soviet anti- Semitism\u2019, what is that exactly, and how specifically do I fall into such a category?<\/span><\/p>\n Alan Dershowitz seems to forget that defending an alleged wife- killer may be somewhat easier than promoting an ideological racist, expansionist and murderous\u00a0collective*. Dershowitz told the Jerusalem Post that the\u00a0\u201cbook has crossed the line from anti-Zionism to anti-Semitism.\u201d<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0Here, I\u2019m puzzled. Is Dershowitz, getting soft in his old age? Is he now suggesting that \u2018anti Zionism\u2019 is actually legitimate or even\u00a0kosher<\/em>? This would certainly be a most welcome development, but no, it seems\u00a0 that Dershowitz also hasn\u2019t read the book. And if he has, he has clearly failed to explain why the book is \u2018anti-Semitic\u2019?<\/span><\/p>\n As well as being intellectually lame, Dershowitz is also both a bully and a coward,\u00a0\u201cI challenge Mearsheimer and Falk to a debate on whether they have endorsed an anti-Semitic book,\u201d\u00a0<\/em>Dershowitz proclaims. I believe that if Dershowitz has a problem with the book, he should have the guts to debate this with its author.<\/span><\/p>\n Dershowitz prefers to intimidate rather than debate. This is neither new nor surprising and \u2018The Wandering Who\u2019 attempts to explore the depth, and the characteristics and the origins of those tactics that are employed regularly by Dershowitz and his ilk. In the book I try to explain why they prefer to lie and intimidate rather than engage in fruitful critical dialogue. And the answer is simple. Blindness and detachment are inherent in Jewish identity political discourse. They are there to maintain the club, so consequently the history of Jews may be understood as one long tale of the brutal silencing of any form of dissent.<\/span><\/p>\n Another laughable character in a panic about my book is Abraham H. Foxman, National Director of the Anti- Defamation League.\u00a0\u201cWith his glowing endorsement of a book by a known Hitler apologist and Holocaust denier, John Mearsheimer has revealed himself to be an anti- Semite<\/em>.\u201d Yet this master of \u2018Anti- Defamation\u2019 fails to inform us what exactly it is that makes me into a \u2018Hitler apologist\u2019 or a \u2018Holocaust denier\u2019.\u00a0 The truth of the matter is that within the Jewish Ghetto some Zionists and AZZ just get so carried away tagging me with their own outrageous labels, probably projecting their own symptoms on myself, that they miss that no one outside the Jewish ghetto believes any of this spin.<\/span><\/p>\n In \u2018The Wandering Who\u2019 I try to grasp at this deep culture of deceit – so symptomatic of modern Jewish political national activism – while they, for some reason, believe that \u2018by way of deception\u2019 is the true materialisation of Jewish wisdom.<\/span><\/p>\n So, unable to produce a single intelligible argument, Foxman reverts to his Talmudic bullying tactics;\u00a0\u201cFor years, Mearsheimer paraded as an objective analyst, professor and critic, and for years we were very careful not to label him as an anti-Semite. Now he has clearly aligned himself with the worst kind of anti-Semitism.\u201d<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n Being intellectually retarded, Foxman here admits that the \u2018anti-Semitic\u2019 tag is attached to people and even distinguished academics without any evidence of any form of hatred towards Jews or \u2018Semites\u2019. Mearsheimer\u2019s sin, according to Foxman, is simply that he endorsed my writing and so Foxman labels the American professor as an \u2018anti-Semite\u2019 without presenting a shred of evidence of hatred towards Jews or anyone else.\u00a0 I honestly can\u2019t make up my mind whether Foxman\u2019s blunder here is sad or funny. But certainly, it is revealing.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Foxman and his ilk attribute the anti-Semitic label to anyone who fails to surrender to their command. But the tide has turned. Foxman, Dershowitz and their AZZ collaborators will have to either adapt or accept defeat. They can neither stop me nor my book. \u2018The Wandering Who\u2019 has now been read by thousands – it now has a life of its own, and it will quickly spread.<\/span><\/p>\n If Dershowitz, Foxman and any other hasbara campaigners want to do themselves a big favour, they should engage in an open debate. They should dig deep into my writing in the hope that they might manage to produce a valid counter argument.<\/span><\/p>\n Do they posses the wisdom or intellectual integrity to do this? I doubt it, but I truly hope they do. It\u2019s really starting to get a bit boring over here.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n *According to an Israeli poll, at the time of operation Cast Lead, \u00a0a whopping 94% of the Israeli Jewish population strongly supported\u00a0 the operation and \u00a0IDF\u2019s tactics that included carpet bombardment and WMD warfare.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/a><\/h4>\n
