Sunday Column for the Elder

Screen ShotThe old and wise Elder of Ziyon generally publishes my bits and pieces at 11 AM EST, Sunday mornings.
My thing tomorrow is entitled, A Few Thoughts for the pro-Israel Left... which, needless to say, they have been hankering to get out of me for years, now.
Here is a tid-bit:
My conclusion was not, as it is sometimes claimed, that the western-left is crawling with veiled anti-Semites who use the "Palestinians," and sometimes even the Holocaust, as a club with which to beat up on the Jews of the Middle East and their diaspora supporters.

On the contrary.  In my experience, a majority of left-leaning westerners are most certainly not anti-Semitic.  However, after decades of rolling around in the sour and ahistorical muck of the so-called "Palestinian Narrative" they have come to look upon the Palestinian-Arabs as the quintessential victims.  Having won the Grand Sweepstakes of Victimhood, the Palesinian-Arabs represent victimhood lifted skyward to an iconic status.  Look up the word "victim" in the proverbial dictionary and find the grinning visage of a keffiyeh-draped Yassir Arafat leering back at you.
