quote: The so-called normalization of the Jew was a tragic illusion from the start. But when this normalization is expected to flourish in the very heart of Islam, it is worse than tragic-it is suicidal. Horrendous as Hitler was for us, he lasted a mere twelve years, and what is twelve years to the Jew? The time has come to return to Europe that was for centuries, and remains to this day, the most authentic Jewish homeland there has ever been, the birthplace of rabbinic Judaism, Hasidic Judaism, Jewish secularism, socialism-and on and on. The birthplace, of course, of Zionism too. But Zionism has outlived its historical function. The time has come to renew in the European diaspora our preeminent spiritual and cultural role.

Wonderful article, al Q'bong. I've forwarded it to several "self-hating" friends and a couple of fellow "anti-semites" (the latter in the same vein as my hating Italy and black cats...). What the Nation article calls for is happening, not so much in Poland as in Germany. That REALLY pisses off both anti-semitic neo-Nazis and hard-arsed Zionists... The Jewish community in Germany is the fastest-growing in the world. Mostly from the former Soviet Union and other Eastern European countries, but even some former Israelis, the grandchildren of persecuted German Jews, or Jewish Germans ... Jews return to Germany By the way, I agree with Josh. It is perhaps interesting that some highly-orthodox Jews oppose Israel, but I have nothing in common with religious fundamentalists of any sort. Much prefer the secular arguments put forth by al Q'bongs article.
