That is a self-hating Jew if I have ever seen one... Very sad...

As much as we might want to cling to one of the more idealistic narratives, we cannot afford to ignore Hitchens, especially as there are Jews who today aspire to be exactly that kind of Maccabees. It is not rare to hear both Haredi rabbis and religious settlers from the hilltops refer to left-wing and secular Israelis as "Hellenists" who have ditched "true" Jewish values for foreign ideals such as human rights and equality for women. Xenophobia is alive and well in the second-age Zionist state, and it pervades mainstream discourse, eroding our basic freedom while secular Israel is celebrating an empty-headed holiday of glitzy childrens' pageants and designer glazed doughnuts.

Ah... Its on the dirty site 'Haaretz'... No wonder they published it...

hitchens was jewish? wow... i know he is burning in hell right now for all the evil things hes said.

the liberals in tel aviv look to christopher hitchens as their hero and spit on the maccabees. it is about time they do so because judah maccabee would have killed the leftists. the leftists should choose their side and stop polluting the message of hannukah.
