No counterforce to anti-Semitism

Reading about these recent ugly manifestations of anti-

    Semitism in Europe - such as the burning of synagogues - I reflect

    that there were once powerful socialist and communist parties over

    there that would have challenged it and explained it as a symptom of

    decaying capitalism. Even  six decades later the Russian exile Leon

    Trotsky explained the roots of fascism better than today's politically

    correct but spineless liberals.

              Today global capitalism  and the world market are practically

    worshiped by former " socialist "  leaders like Britain's Tony Blair -

    now just a water boy for George W. Bush ! 

                Many Jewish intellectuals have abandoned their internationalist

    socialist convictions for the opium of Zionism - burning their political

    bridges to the democratic Left behind them.

                They worship not TRUTH anymore but an idol - the state of

    Israel.
