LA Times Un-Solves the "Jewish Problem"

The very fact that this type of debate is being conducted in our supposedly enlightened West is instructive...

The Los Angeles Times published on March 15 two Op-Eds about Zionism. One, by Judea Pearl, argues that anti-Zionism is hateful and a "dangerous threat to lives, historical justice and the prospects of peace in the Middle East." The other, by Ben Ehrenreich, argues that, "put simply, the problem is Zionism," and calles for an end to the Jewish state.

By hosting on its opinion pages this type of debate on Israel's existence, the Los Angeles Times unfairly applies a different standard to the Jewish people and Israel than it does to other nations and nation-states. It outrageously casts self-determination as something that perhaps should be taken away from the Jews. In doing so, the newspaper moves to un-solve the "Jewish problem" that, after thousands of years of persecution, pogroms and mass murder against the Jewish people (and after scores of years of struggle by early Zionists seeking an end to this oppression), was finally and all-too-belatedly solved with the realization of Jewish national rights in their ancestral homeland, Israel. read more
