Liberal Group Blasted for Hosting
'American Hater' of Israel

The liberal-leaning think tank New America Foundation is being
excoriated by supporters of Israel
for hosting a book talk by an author described as “an American hater” of the
Jewish state.
In his controversial new book
"Goliath: Life and Loathing in Greater Israel," Max Blumenthal, a
Jewish journalist and the son of Sidney Blumenthal, former aide to President
Bill Clinton, accuses Israel of
being a fascist nation with parallels to Nazi Germany, according to the
Washington Free Beacon.
Chapter titles include “The
Concentration Camp,” “The Night of Broken Glass,” and “How to Kill Goyim and
Influence People.”
The New America Foundation has
disgraced itself by providing a forum to Max Blumenthal, says PJ Media writer
Ron Radosh.
“At a time when the Obama
administration is putting into effect a very, very bad deal with Iran, and
incurring the just opposition of our ally Israel, and John Kerry is busy trying to again force Israel into making
concessions to promote another round of meaningless Israeli-Palestinian peace
talks, how related is NAF’s decision to sponsor a book talk by Blumenthal to
the administration’s new agenda?”
Radosh writes. “Does someone who
plans events at NAF believe that this is the time to portray Israel in the
harshest light possible, in the hopes that it will turn public opinion against
Israel, and thereby gain approval for foreign policy measures opposed to
Israel’s need for security?
According to an Amazon abstract of
the book, Blumenthal paints the Jewish state as a place where democracy is
sacrificed for right-wing power politics. Israel, the excerpt reads, is ".
. . where the loyal opposition largely and passively stands aside and watches
the organized assault on civil liberties; where state-funded Orthodox rabbis
publish books that provide instructions on how and when to kill Gentiles; where
half of Jewish youth declare their refusal to sit in a classroom with an Arab;
and where mob violence targets Palestinians and African asylum seekers
scapegoated by leading government officials as 'demographic threats.'"
Pro-Zionist scholar Alan
Dershowitz blasts Blumenthal as “an extremist bigot whose greatest appeal is to
anti-Semites and others who apply a double standard to the Jewish state,” the
Free Beacon reports.
