…I am reminded of a joke told after the Six-Day War of American Jews like these who in the two weeks of terrible and frightening tension and fear in Israel as the Arabs shrieked they were going to finish Hitler’s work and even the Haredim were digging graves in public parks in Tel-Aviv in anticipation of thousands of dead, American Jews like these slowly shook their heads in commiseration, saying, “Oh, they (!) are in terrible danger over there,” but after the spectacular victory started crowing, “We won!” as if they were heroes too.

When Israel does something like the Six-Day War or the rescue at Entebbe such types preen themselves on the great achievement but when Israelis are accused of being racist fascist imperialist aggressors, thieves of Balestine, they join the anti-Israeli mobs in pointing the finger of guilt.

Judea and Samaria in the early days of the modern Zionist movement were never for one moment thought by Zionists of every political stripe to be Balestinian property, and especially not, as my book shows, when the Arabs’ Nazi-loving leaders themselves denied there was such a country.

These are “Have your cake and eat it too” Jews who claim to be proud Zionists but would never think of abandoning their cushy academic posts to actually move here.

Instead, they bash Naftali Bennett, an IDF officer who fought and risked his life; bash Moshe Feiglin, Uri Ariel and “Zambish,” real doers when it comes to returning the ancestral sod to habitability for hundreds of thousands Jews.

One doubts these intellectual peacocks ever contributed a dollar to an Israeli cause…
