Lerner’s Disgrace: My Response to Alana Price (TOI)

Lerner’s Disgrace: My Response to Alana Price.

Managing editor of Tikkun, Alana Price, in the Times of Israel says that calling David Harris-Gershon an "anti-Semite" is an ad hominem attack.

The fact of the matter is that spreading hatred toward the Jewish state of Israel, and thereby spreading hatred toward the Jewish people, more generally, through the apartheid smear is, in fact, racist towards Jews.

Suggesting, as Harris-Gershon does, that the "pro-Israel lobby" (or what Chuck Hagel calls the "Jewish lobby") has control over the U.S. government is anti-Semitic for the very same reasons that the Protocols of the Elders of Zion is anti-Semitic.

Michael Lerner, the owner and editor of Tikkun should be ashamed of himself for promoting hatred toward his own people.

Period.

    1. Thanks, Jay.

      Much appreciated.

      How in this world did we ever get to the point where bigotry toward Jews is considered reasonable speech among many "progressives" while the Jewish push-back is considered out of line?
