An Honor Roll of Self-hating
Jews
Making
the Shit List
By BRUCE JACKSON
The most vicious anti-semites in America aren't
the few surviving retro fruitcakes with swastikas in their closets,
but rather those self-righteous Jews who attack and try to silence-without
conscience, doubt or scruple-any Jew who attempts to discuss
seriously the ethics or morality or decency or utility of any
action taken by the State of Israel or the illegal squatters
in the Occupied Territories.
The latest in that venomous war against
free, open and intelligent discussion is the Self-Hating
Israel-Threatening List (it's an acronymn; get it? gee),
which includes such enemies of thought as Gloria Steinem, Studs
Turkel, Alan Trachtenberg, Woody Allen, Susan Sontag, Stew Albert,
Susan Udin, Harvey Weinstein, Ed Asner, George Soros, Art Spiegelman,
Uri Avneri, Richard Dreyfuss, Tony Judt, Neve Gordon, Jimmy Breslin
(I guess they made him an honorary Jew), Andrew Cockburn, Barry
Commoner, Sandy Berger, Phyllis Bennis. Such a list! The opening
prose will give you a sense of the quality and character of mind
involved in the compilation of the list; the list itself is a
roll of honor, and I'm delighted to have been found deserving
of inclusion.
Bruce Jackson,
SUNY Distinguished Professor and Samuel P. Capen Professor
of American Culture at University at Buffalo, edits the web journal
BuffaloReport.com.
His most recent book is Emile
de Antonio in Buffalo (Center Working Papers). Jackson
is also a contributor to The
Politics of Anti-Semitism. He can be reached at: bjackson@buffalo.edu
