[Peace-discuss] Pathology on peace-discuss

[Karen Aram]

David Green doesn't spew hatred, what he speaks out against is the policies of apartheid by the government of Israel and the US. If we don't speak out now it will soon be too late.  Maybe if more people had spoken out against the policies of Hitler, during the rise of Nazism, there wouldn't have been a holocaust.  When they began executing those who did speak out, it was too late. EX: Sophie Scholl and compatriots of the White Rose.

While I'm thinking about it, I might as well mention that the "mendacious propaganda" Green accuses me of passing came from Mother Jones, that well-known nest of Likudniks. But when your view is Counterpunchian, such distinctions don't matter if they get in the way of your fulminating hatred. 
The Counterpunch crowd is better known for the fixity of their stance than the depth or rationality of it, which is why they had already sailed into obscurity long before Cockburn shuffled off this mortal coil. Their "We can solve the Mideast if only we all hate Israel enough" stance is of a moment, say 2002 or so, and that moment has passed. At this point, they are down to publishing the Holocaust denier Israel Shamir, the Holocaust denier Gilad Atzmon, and -- uh -- David Green, who has no problem with that.

Another victim of Counterpunchery. David Green is a big believer in the whiff test. if someone mentions antisemitism, you should run to the window, fling it open, give a big sniff, and if the very first scent that hits your nostrils is *not* the smell of burning synagogue, then you must shout, NOW IS NOT THE TIME TO TALK ABOUT ANTISEMITISM, as if the community were actually waiting for David Green's permission before being able to do so.
The time to talk about antisemitism is when there is antisemitism, even if David Green throws another tantrum. The time to talk about antisemitic incidents in CU is when there are antisemitic incidents, even if David Green throws another tantrum.

I have always considered the movement against the Holocaust denial movement, such as it is (and it's not much in effectual terms), to be one of displacement, denial, distraction, and diversion from the sins of USFP and its surrogate Israel.
