A New Fascism???

I am distressed and dismayed that brilliant, principled scholars, like Tony Judt and Noam Chomsky, both of whom happen to be Jewish, are routinely harassed and censored from speaking out and promoting their views on Israel and the Middle East. Both decry the failure of the leadership in Israel and the USA, to ensure justice, equity and liberty for ALL, in that part of the world. Instead there is a coordinated effort to try to silence them and prevent them from telling the truth of what is happening over there. These tactics are reminiscent of the old fascism of Spain, Germany and Italy of the last century, that has been reborn. They, like me, will not self-censor for fear of being labeled anti-Semitic by the new fascists of our time. The gambit of labeling those who disagree and oppose Israeli policy as anti-Semites, will not work, because the need for truth, equity, justice and liberty, overrides and exposes the racist, hegemonic course the Israeli leadership is following. We will always speak out, and not shut up!
