Being on the left myself at the time (although clearly starboard of Lerner ;-)) I read it with great attention, and it actually made some good points. I couldn't stomach any of his other writings. At times, I don't know whether to hate or pity people like Lerner. Is he a malignant narcissist seeking attention by his "far out" behavior, or somebody who keeps hoping against hopes that you can be a looney-leftist and a committed Jew at the same time. It took 9/11 and the Euro-left anti-Israel wolfpack in early 2002 for me to answer the question in the negative, and to reach for the "Eject" button. It's not easy to face that you have been believing a lie for 20 years: I'd rank it as one of the two most painful experiences in my life. Some people just cannot face such a thing, and continue to live in denial. Jack, Lulu: I think the planet is Uranus ;-)

Ok, not nice but I can't stomach the woman. Lerner just refuses to deal with anything close to reality. Sometimes I wonder what planet he lives on.

It ain't pretty. I suspect that it would be evident if you look at these peoples' personal lives, for a start.

And ride around in cars with a bumper sticker that says, "Unleavened Bread: It's All We Deserve." I particularly like the fact that they've managed towork up not only a sizeable Jewish self-hate, but an entire anti-Western self-hate as well. I am IMPRESSED!
