Famous journalist Vincent Sheean in " Personal History : likened Zionism to Nazism
An eye witness to the birth of modern Israel was one famous journalist named Vincent Sheean. The last chapter of " Personal History " sums up his opinion of Zionism : it was just as evil as Nazism.
[ " Sheehan is a profoundly thoughtful and open-minded person, and it was a delight to encounter all of these different cultures from his perspective. He explores early communism from the Chinese, and then the Soviet perspective. Enters Palestine as a Zionist, and leaves not as one, for reasons he lays out clearly and after much consideration. He has a kind and open-hearted soul, and looking at the world through his eyes makes it fresh for his reader as well."]
["Bigoted," "outrageous," and "disgusting" were just a handful of the many adjectives critics used to denounce Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer's (D-N.Y.) speech this week before the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), which attributed ongoing Middle East conflict not to Israel's decades of brutal U.S.-backed occupation of Palestinian territories, but to Palestinians' failure to "believe in the Torah."
"The fact of the matter is that too many Palestinians and too many Arabs do not want any Jewish state in the Middle East," Schumer told the audience gathered for AIPAC's annual conference in Washington, D.C. "Of course, we say it's our land, the Torah says it, but they don't believe in the Torah. So that's the reason there is not peace. They invent other reasons, but they do not believe in a Jewish state and that is why we, in America, must stand strong with Israel through thick and thin." ]
