\"\"<\/a>\u201cDershowitz is not only a remarkable liar and slanderer, but also an extreme opponent of elementary civil rights\u201d<\/em>\u00a0Noam Chomsky<\/a><\/h5>\n
The following is an analytical yet amusing glimpse into the deceitful and psychological\u00a0 nature of\u00a0 Zionist propaganda as manifested by arch Zionist Alan Dershowitz.<\/h5>\n
Dershowitz\u00a0wrote last week<\/span><\/a>,\u00a0\u201cin a recent post, Atzmon said that he would be willing to play alongside David Duke. What a duet!\u201d<\/em><\/h5>\n
This little insignificant anecdote brought a smile to my face because in\u00a0my text<\/span><\/a>\u00a0I was actually positively considering joining a new healing musical adventure along together with Alan Dershowitz on tuba and David Duke on trumpet.<\/h5>\n
Here are my words,\u00a0\u201cI really do not understand why Alan Dershowitz believes himself to be morally superior to Duke.\u00a0 Dershowitz is a Zionist Jewish supremacist, he is a world leading advocate of a racist and expansionist ideology, namely Zionism. And yet, I wouldn\u2019t say NO to an invitation for a musical gathering along together with Dershowitz on tuba and Duke playing the trumpet, just because I believe that music brings people together.\u201d<\/em><\/h5>\n
The text is plainly clear. There is no room for misinterpretation. It was not a \u2018duet\u2019 which I was willing to join but actually a \u2018trio\u2019 that would include Alan Dershowitz alongside David Duke. Dershowitz lied again. Instead of just politely declining and admitting that he is \u2018no good\u2019 on tuba, he followed once again his falsehearted tactics-first he put words in my mouth and then interpreted the words he himself invented.\u00a0 \u201cBut that’s exactly where Atzmon belongs,\u201d wrote Dershowitz\u00a0 – \u201cin the company of neo-Nazis, Holocaust deniers, homophobes, misogynists, sexists and other bigots.\u201d<\/h5>\n
If Dershowitz was an intellectual, which he isn\u2019t or an artist which he certainly isn\u2019t, one could have argued that this kind of behaviour suggests that the elder Zionist may live in a cute phantasmic solipsistic universe. If Dershowitz wasn\u2019t aware of his deceitful actions, he could have been classified as a psychopath. But I actually, tend to believe that there is a certain level of awareness behind Dershowitz actions. And the conclusion is, indeed, very concerning, we are dealing with an inherently dishonest person, a \u2018remarkable liar\u2019, as Noam Chomsky describes him along together many other intellectual and humanists who have reached the same conclusion.<\/h5>\n
But why is he lying? Why is he doing it so often? Can he get away with it? Clearly not anymore, yet he wouldn\u2019t stop. At this stage he cannot stop.<\/h5>\n
In\u00a0The Wandering Who<\/span><\/a>\u00a0I attempt to grasp the ideological, intellectual and emotional\u00a0 apparatus at the core of Jewish identity politics. I try to analyse the deceitful operative mode that is, unfortunately, symptomatic to Zionist campaigners, Israeli Hasbara but also to very many anti Zionist Zionists (AZZ). The book is basically an attempt to grasp the ideological continuum between the Dershowitzes of this world and their collaborators within the Palestinian solidarity movement and beyond.\u00a0<\/h5>\n
It is pretty obvious that Dershowitz lies continuously because, like the Israeli Mossad, he hopes to win his Hasbara wars \u2018by way of deception\u2019<\/span><\/a>.<\/h5>\n
Dershowitz lies compulsively because Zionism, which he advocates, is inherently deceitful. Dershowitz lies consciously because Zionism, which he supports enthusiastically, is also consciously impervious to \u2018Truth, Justice and Peace\u2019- Zionism strives on a continual conflict, it is based on a falsehood (the invention of the Jewish people and their homecoming) and it is also a racially driven ethnic cleansing philosophy fuelled by expansionism.<\/h5>\n
But there is obviously a deeper psychoanalytical layer here. When Dershowitz claims to detest \u2018bigots\u2019 and \u2018Nazis\u2019, he may as well admit a certain amount of self-loathing. In The Wandering Who, I elaborate on the work of Austrian philosopher Otto Weininger who cleverly pointed out that \u201cwe hate qualities (in others) to which we approximate\u201d. If Weininger is correct, we have a good reason to believe that Dershowitz probably hates bigots and neo Nazis because he may recognise such qualities in himself. In Freudian terms, he simply\u00a0projects.<\/h5>\n
Such a reading, however, would assume a certain amount of guilt at the core of\u00a0 Dershowitz\u2019 psychology. But guilt as such must be driven by an elementary amount of ethical awareness. Sadly enough, there is no evidence of such awareness in Dershowitz\u2019 conduct.\u00a0<\/h5>\n
Weininger contended that his insight into self-loathing explains why the most profound\u00a0 \u2018anti Semites\u2019 are very often Jews. They fight \u2018the Jew\u2019 in themselves. I would add here that self-hatred may as well be the highest possible form of Jewish universal ethical awareness.\u00a0\u00a0It is no surprise then that the greatest Jewish humanists (Jesus, Spinoza and Marx) were all self-haters.<\/em>\u00a0 Dershowitz could do with a tinge of self mockery or even a drop of self-loathing. Such an approach could heal his soul and even amend his reputation.\u00a0\u00a0 Dershowitz\u00a0 wouldn\u2019t even have to work too hard.\u00a0The man can easily find in himself every and each possible aspect of Zionist ugliness.<\/em>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/h5>\n

The Passion of Dershowitz<\/h3>\n

In recent years I have detected some fragility in Dershowitz conduct and it leads me to believe that the elder Zionist doesn\u2019t really feel great about himself. Rather occasionally the man contradicts his own statements. On the one hand he would repeat himself insisting that Atzmon is insignificant intellectually politically and even musically, on the other hand he is doing little in his life but fighting Atzmon and Atzmon\u2019s endorsers. Last week Dershowitz invited himself to the Manhattan Friends Seminary to lecture on the \u2018dangers of the sort of anti-Semitic hatred spewed by Atzmon.\u2019 Surely, Atzmon\u00a0 must be important enough then.\u00a0<\/h5>\n
Contradictions are pretty revealing. They point to a cognitive dissonance. It seems as if Dershowitz\u2019 universe is shaken. He clearly finds it hard to cope with it all both emotionally and intellectually.<\/h5>\n
\"\"<\/a>I have recently even detected an element of desperation in Dershowitz behaviour. The Zionist fanatic is aware of himself becoming a laughable clich\u00e9. Like a 12th\u00a0grade student, he is now pushed to furnish and validate his lies and spin campaigns with some pseudo academic formality. Though he would quote out of context, consciously cherry picking isolated anecdotes with a clear attempt to attribute a misleading meaning to people and ideas, he would also provide a meticulous bibliographical reference hoping that no one would ever really check and review the texts he clearly distorted. Dershowitz is desperate to convey an image of an appropriate academic formalism to cover for the lack of integrity and content.\u00a0<\/h5>\n
I have noticed that many Zionist as well as\u00a0AZZ operators<\/a>\u00a0are using the exact same tactics. Inherently dishonest people \u00a0tend to believe that formality can be grasped as intellectual integrity.\u00a0 I don\u2019t have a doubt that Dershowitz, Zionists and AZZ \u2018got away\u2019 with this tactic for a while, however, once you buy yourself a reputation of a \u2018remarkable liar\u2019, the image of formality may even make you look more foolish and mischievous than what you are for real.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/h5>\n
Such an operation doesn\u2019t reflect greatly on Dershowitz or any other Hasbara operators. But it certainly exposes a volatile mental state. In the case of Dershowitz what we see is a clear discrepancy between what he claims or wishes to be and what he happens to be for real. This discrepancy between the phantasy of \u2018academicism\u2019 or \u2018formality\u2019 and the reality of being known as a \u2018remarkable liar\u2019 is at the heart of Dershowitz\u2019 and Zionist\u00a0 neurosis. But this neurosis is also symptomatic to different forms of Jewish identity politics and even contemporary Left thinking. If \u2018unconsciousness is the discourse of the other\u2019 as French psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan suggests,\u00a0 then Dershowitz, AZZ\u00a0 and the Left are tormented by the possibility of their real truth being exposed.\u00a0For the Left it is its emerging detachment and irrelevance reflected by the victorious rise of Islam as the leading and probably only anti imperial liberating force. For the AZZ it is the the growing awareness of its Jewish left disingenuous tribal role within the solidarity movement. For Dershowitz it is the exhausting and tormenting recognition that actually, it is him and his relentless actions that gives Jews bad name.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/h5>\n
I initially thought that Dershowitz would benefit from playing tuba under my direct supervision. Music is the embodiment of truth and beauty and it also has a clear therapeutic value. I thought that devotion to aesthetics would elevate the suffering man and his spirit high above his tribal loyalty. I also thought that Dershowitz would benefit from sharing a musical platform with David Duke. It is not a secret that Duke bought himself very many enemies along the years but as far as I am aware, no one has ever called him a \u2018remarkable Liar\u2019. I thought that after a while alongside Duke, Dershowitz may learn to state his Judeo-centric truth in a clear and honest manner.<\/h5>\n
Being a devoted humanist I do not have any plan to give up on brother Dershowitz. He knows that he will join the band eventually. If it isn\u2019t the tuba, we can always provide him with a bagpipe. After all, the man is full of hot air.<\/h5>\n
