I think most of us here suffer from "gretavo syndrome"

Submitted by casseia on Wed, 2007-08-29 23:21.

I never thought to question the dominant Holocaust narrative or Israel's right to exist AS A "JEWISH STATE" with all the racism that entails until about the umpteenth time someone came down on me like a ton of bricks over there for some incredibly moderate statement (like, gee, it wouldn't be surprising if Silverstein was involved...) It's really counterproductive (for them) because once you get over the taboo of thinking for yourself in this area, the plunge down the rabbit hole is pretty immediate and total. That is, I won't personally challenge aspects of Holocaust history because it is not my area of expertise, but I will for damn sure point out its role as the enabling sacred myth of Israel AND that aspects of the popular understanding lack a real basis AND that Israel practices apartheid and should be treated much as we treated South Africa in the eighties AND that the PNAC document has a twin named "A Clean Break" AND that both docs were written by some of the same neocon characters...

I read Primo Levi's "Surviving Auschwitz" a few weeks ago and there is no question that being interned there absolutely, horrifically sucked. Therefore, I think gay people are owed their own state and the right to bulldoze houses and shoot kids...
