A Lingering What? A Review of The Wandering Who?

 


Excerpt:

Atzmon's basic thesis will be familiar to those who follow his writings.  Although he has long railed against Zionism, he considers it to be merely one manifestation of "Jewishness" – what Atzmon calls an ideology of chosenness – that is the root of the problem.  For him, therefore, Jewish anti-Zionism is merely another face of the same problem.

Atzmon, who was born Israeli to Jewish parents, therefore considers himself anti-Jewish, which obviously invites charges of anti-Semitic racism.  He rebuts such charges, however, by distinguishing between "anti-Jewish" (which he is) and "anti-Jew" (which he is not).  A philosopher and logician by training and education, he embraces anti-racism, but objects to the Jewish way of thinking that distinguishes people who call themselves Jews from the societies in which they live.  To him, this is a pernicious ideology that is a cause of misery wherever it is found, even in "anti-Zionist" circles.  (I should also point out that Atzmon does not object to Judaism as a religion per se.)
