(I think am going to start calling myself a "High school Survivor" from now on when I sign things.)<br /><br />--<br /><br />Rod McLaughlin, by the way, is now better known to the world as "Jay Knott" and runs Pacifica Forum, the Oregon-based Atzmonite outfit who like to host Nazi speakers at their events. See, e.g. http://antigerman.wordpress.com/2010/05/17/pacifica-forum-vs-the-anti-fascists/ and click on some of the links.bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15439386754907203808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5448657.post-52494044665058147722011-05-09T12:28:20.349-04:002011-05-09T12:28:20.349-04:00I don't really feel the need to defend Sue Bla...I don't really feel the need to defend Sue Blackwell and Tony Greenstein - they're quite capable of defending themselves. But I don't see how you can't call them anti-Zionists. They oppose the existence of the state of Israel and believe a state of Palestine should be set up in its place. How is that *not* anti-Zionism? <br /><br />They denounce Atzmon because they don't want him to drag what you call the Palestine solidarity movement further into the swamp of Jew-hatred. I don't know anyone else who would call that "crypto-Zionism" except for people like Atzmon who are fixated on what they call "Jewish supremacism" and the like.<br /><br />See David Duke's website - he spouts the same language and he's overtly a member of the Ku Klux Klan - nice company for Atzmon, don't you think?Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17626228106192215280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5448657.post-44466153758931322632011-05-09T10:49:09.013-04:002011-05-09T10:49:09.013-04:00Tony Greenstein and Sue Blackwell are not 'ant...Tony Greenstein and Sue Blackwell are not 'anti-Zionists', they are what Atzmon calls 'crypto-Zionists'. The reason they try to stop the rest of us hearing what Atzmon has to say is because he's exposed the covert defence of Jewish racism inside the Palestine solidarity movement.rodmclaughlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16624447034194152917noreply@blogger.com
