Below is a sickening open letter issued by The Jewish Labour Movement (JLM).

I added my reflections on the letter along the text.

“If I'm supposed to choose between my job and wearing the symbol, my choice would definitely be the latter...” 

Left is no longer a political position, it is, actually, a severe mental disturbance.

About an hour or so after the conference ended, I had an epiphany.  AIPAC is convening to determine our future while pro Palestinians convened to reflect on the past... 

Sooner or later, the LSE will have to decide whether it is an Athenian institute subscribing to Logos and free intellectual exchange, or whether it prefers to engage in Jerusalemite book-burning. It will have to choose whether it endorses Karl Popper’s vision of the ‘Open Society’ or whether it prefers  to switch sides and become simply the ‘Enemy’  

How did it happen that the discourse on Palestine has become dominated by Jewish voices? Is it more acceptable for us to listen to non-Palestinians? Are Palestinians allowed to express themselves about how occupation and ethnic cleansing feels for them or would they have to be advised that they might only speak within the limits set by the enemies of free speech? Why should they have to submit to the niceties of acceptable language and not say anything that might be upsetting to others? Clearly this is just another form of occupation.

I was born and raised in Israel and it was many years before I realised that Israel was Palestine. When I was a young Israeli boy, the Holocaust and Jewish suffering were somehow foreign to me and my peers. It was the history of a different people, namely the diaspora Jews and we young Israelis didn’t much like their Jewish past. We didn’t want to associate ourselves with those people, so hated by so many, so often and in so many different places. Erasing two thousand years of imaginary ‘exile’, we saw ourselves as the sons and daughters of our Biblical ‘ancestors.’ We were proud youngsters and we were disgusted by victimhood.
