[Peace-discuss] "The Growing Antisemitism Scam"

[David Green]

As Chomsky has pointed out on numerous occasions, the American liberal
intellectual class fell in love with Israel in 1967, when Israel clearly
promoted American hegemony in the Middle East by smashing Arab nationalism.
Until then, the "dual loyalty" charge could be yielded against them; after
1967, not so much. There are obviously those who have decided to emigrate,
but that is neither here nor there regarding Congressional support and
general support among the political class. Far from dual loyalty, loyalty
to the U.S. and Israel are seen as one. As Chomsky and Finkelstein have
also stated, when Israel is no longer central to American hegemony, its
support will prove not to be rooted in a sincere support for Jewish
nationalism; even if they love to sing Hatikvah.

A good example of "dual loyalty" would be Rahm Emanuel, who twice
volunteered to serve in the IDF. But of course he is loyal to the
capitalist class over all. And the U.S. is where the global capitalist
class has its headquarters.
