Outing anti-Semitism
: Julie Burchill writes her much-anticipated followup column on anti-Semitism too damned close to home. Her lead:
In 1967, Martin Luther King Jr published his Letter To An Anti-Zionist Friend: “Anti-Zionism is inherently anti-semitic, and ever will be. What is anti-Zionism? It is the denial to the Jewish people of a fundamental right that we justly claim for the people of Africa and freely accord all other nations of the globe. It is discrimination against Jews… because they are Jews. In short, it is anti-semitism.” MLK – what a mensch!
