[DEBATE] : Re: The anti-Zionist boycott, Xymphora

[Dominic Tweedie]

Righteous outrage? Moi?

Who is using intemperate language now?

What the communists have learnt and applied, contrary to disinformation, is
that sectarianism is death to any mass movement.

Your methodology, on the other hand, Russell, is to refine your "analysis"
to the point where your colleagues can be numbered on the fingers of one
hand, or not at all. Everybody else is denounced.

Do you really think that a mass movement can be built without listening to
the likes of Xymphora? Or the KZN Anti-Racism Education Forum, to use
another current example?

In that case you are very wrong.

If you want to have an effect you will have to listen as much as, or more
than, preach.

You are going over the top now. You are looking for things that aren't
there, while clutching tight to your political purity, and waving it around
like an exhibitionist.

There is nothing of the Protocols in Xymphora. That is a wild slur, of the
kind that would do the most damage to an anti-Zionist boycott movement. It
is the very thing that Virginia Tilley warned against in the article that
you didn't like.

Do you think this thing is going to be easy? Or perhaps you are saying it is
impossibly hard? Your contribution is useless. Try again.

By the way, I received yesterday a very nice birthday present from my son, a
book called "If... Marches On". It is a collection of Steve Bell's "If..."
strip cartoons from the Guardian. Very funny indeed. As I read it I thought
what a shame it is that you, my friend, could never enjoy any political
expression that contains any rude four-letter words.

Yours in struggle,

Dominic.

What next -  the Protocols of the Elders of Zion? In Dominic's righteous
outrage over the situation in Lebanon he seems not to have noticed that this
Xymphora stuff he posted verges on old-style international Jewish conspiracy
theories. Or does he agree with this nutter who asserts, in time-honoured
anti-Semitic tradition, that the American, British and Canadian governments
are "run by a relatively small number of Zionists, who control key
bureaucratic positions, key politicians (Bush and Blair), and all the
media". Its apparently no longer western imperialism that's the problem in
the Middle East but rather a Jewish plot to rule the world.

The anti-Zionist boycott

<snip>

4. On the positive side, the problem has a single source, and a single
vulnerability.  Israel is able to do what it does solely because of support
from the Anglophone world, particularly the United States, and the craven
inability of Europe to put up any kind of opposition to American policies.
The American situation, closely paralleled in the UK and Canada, is that the
government is run by a relatively small number of Zionists, who control key
bureaucratic positions, key politicians (Bush and Blair), and all the media.
In the United States, Zionists have a stranglehold over both political
parties, with the Democrats actually much more corrupted than the
Republicans.  The politicians are beyond redemption - Bush and particularly
Blair are religiously insane - but the peculiar intensity of the pressure
leaves a particular vulnerability.
