Courage
That's what it takes to publish something like this. Initially, it gave me some hope, because it was published, but the writer himself discounted even that. I see a lot of Stephen Harper in the society being built in Israel, and see some signs that he has instituted at least one tenet of the new state ideology, here (see point ten, KAIROS anyone?). The new Israel is one where rightists feel at home. The new Israel is Israel as designed by Rob Anders.

Doesn't take any particular courage -- no more than it does to publish an article in Canada saying that Canada's headed towards fascism, or to publish an article in the United States saying that the country is headed to fascism or communism.
ReplyDeleteWhy? Because neither country is -- though the people who argue that Israel is a racist state with similarities to apartheid SA do actually have something of a point. (That said, I'd much rather be an Israeli (citizen-status) Arab than a full citizen of any of its neighbours.)

ReplyDeleteThere is more to lose for an Israeli, so I would disagree with that. The supporters of the people he is criticizing cannot be counted on to react to his criticism non-violently.
