Israel Imperial News Today
Laura Susijn
It's a shock to read the back issues of
the Israel Imperial News and it’s a shock to see in black
and white the Zionist attitude. That the commentary in
these pages is full of wit, intelligence and brilliant
satire only makes the points being made come across more
clearly and powerfully. It's both depressing and hopeful.
So little has changed within Israeli
foreign policy but the world seems to have at least taken
on some of what the Israel Imperial News was pointing out
- some, not all - making it crucial for people to read and
reread these editions.
It is ever important for people to
understand the roots and base of Zionist thinking (not
least because they are echoed elsewhere), politicians
may be more careful as to how they express themselves
nowadays but these pages give non-Hebrew readers a rare
chance to see the attitudes that underlie Zionist
ideology and allow a supposed democracy to behave in
ways which seem incomprehensible to most of us.
