Clearly, We Have Learned Nothing From The Rabin Assassination™.<br /><br />Since Tzomet Sefarim has joined the dark forces of The Enemies of Democracy™, another way must be found to force these pamphlets into every Israeli home. I suggest that the army send soldiers around to personally deliver a copy to every home in the country. (Let's force the Hesderniks to do it, that should be fun.)

(and you have no absolute proof that she's a leftist either. and even if she is, she's totally "mainstream".) that's just "sinat chinam". you should say nice things about her instead, especially on yom hashoa. why do you have to talk about nazis? (yes, i know you were quoting her, but still.) you settlers should stop painting aloni as your "enemy", and instead show some unity and solidarity with her.<br /><br />if you keep writing posts like this, people like shulamit aloni and the people who wrote the pamphlet might stop reading your blog.the artist not known as turquoise toucanhttp://www.nif.org/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13539920.post-77136344184310332382010-04-12T13:40:16.327+03:002010-04-12T13:40:16.327+03:00Tim: Actually, I didn't say anything invective...Tim: Actually, I didn't say anything invective towards Aloni, or Left wingers at all.<br /><br />It was Aloni who compared settlers to Nazis today.<br /><br />Do you think her slander is appropriate (today, or any day?)Jameel @ The Muqatahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15890095633246557332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13539920.post-9081774775523482662010-04-12T13:24:55.445+03:002010-04-12T13:24:55.445+03:00A minor technical point:

There influence has been felt and will continue to be felt for a long time to come. Reports of a de facto "building freeze" in Jerusalem is but one example of this. And Shulamit Aloni's anger towards the National Religious and rightist parts of the population reveals the Israeli Left is far more enraged at fellow Jews than it is with Arabs who are trying to undermine the Jewish State. There is no such thing as "national unity," when the Jews disagree on some very important issues. And who really knows what tomorrow will bring in Israel.NormanFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03365459073293643108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13539920.post-42375698488051249412010-04-12T13:07:04.517+03:002010-04-12T13:07:04.517+03:00Why are you politicizing the Shoa and using it as ...Why are you politicizing the Shoa and using it as an excuse to attack the left?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13539920.post-35698344265508687842010-04-12T12:43:46.954+03:002010-04-12T12:43:46.954+03:00Aloni, like many leftists, can't seem to grasp...Aloni, like many leftists, can't seem to grasp the distinction between government and private activity. Had the government banned the pamphlet, that would be a true threat to democracy. But Tzomet is a private chain and can do what it pleases. There are plenty of left-wing bookstores that'll sell that garbage if people want it.<br /><br />The pamphlet happens to make no sense: After going on and on about how violent and revolutionary the settlers are, it then lauds leftists for being "revolutionary." Odd, but then the left has always been a lot more fascists (and fascists a lot more left-wing) than they'd admit.Nachumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11292162031685942549noreply@blogger.com
