" When Kahane was murdered in New York in 1990 by an Arab terrorist, Goldstein vowed to avenge the killing. "
Too bad socialist humanist Jews-like Irving Howe , I.F. Stone, and Howard Zinn- had no influence on this American born Baruch Goldstein.
A touch of irony : " Goldstein " , clearly created in the image of Leon Trotsky, the arch-foe of Stalin's Soviet Union , in George Orwell's nightmare utopia " 1984 " .
In " 1984 " Emmanuel Goldstein and his infamous BOOK ( " The Revolution Betrayed ? ) is the very target of the deranged TWO MINUTES HATE hysteria. The arch-enemy of BIG BROTHER .
Orwell described Goldstein as the sole representative of sanity in a world gone mad. Winston Smith's heart went out to the lonely, persecuted rebel.
Today in the USA 2019 : Goldstein , where are you ?
... " and at such moments his heart went out to the lonely, derided heretic on the screen, sole guardian of truth and sanity in a world of lies ". [ " 1984 " ]
