The Great Libel: The Nazification of Israel, Part 3

Wednesday 7.06.2023

Summary

As the Communist East became alienated from the concept of a Jewish State, a pernicious thread developed in its anti-Israel rhetoric. Events in Zionist, Jewish, and Israeli history were grotesquely twisted. It led to the ultimate calumny—not only was Zionism a form of racism, but it equated Nazism with Zionism. Many of these ideas gradually percolated into the left and have distorted their view of Jews and Israel. Part 3 of 3.
