So many Jews prove that you can take a Jew out of exile but you can't take exile out of a Jew.
It is deeply saddening to me seeing Jews stand up for… pic.twitter.com/2YC6Y9iSr0 | | 27/12/2023, 4:42 pm |

I saw
Norman Finklestein debate a comedian a while back, on the current Gqza war. As an alleged "historian" he had a poor grasp of basic facts about Gaza that even I knew. He parroted alleged "facts" about Gaza that are plain wrong but part of the problem-Hamas, left narrative. Things like "Gaza is the most densely populated place on the planet". For the record: no, it's not. It's not even in the top 50.
The comedian got the better of him, I thought. Through many on his side declared him the victor. Weird that, isn't it? That our priors give us opposite readings of the very same event.
He goes on, this professor Finklestein, cheering the massacres of October 7 (they "warmed his heart", he said, proudly), wildly Israel-hating, warmly Hamas-loving.
All that is in what Hillel Fuld describes, above. At other times called "self-hating Jews". And imdeed they are.
