from the Introduction:
----------------------
<snip> From Jerusalem, Israel Shahak never ceases to analyse
not only the dismal politics of Israel today but the Talmud
itself, and the effect of the entire rabbinical tradition on
a small state that the right-wing rabbinate means to turn
into a theocracy for Jews only. I have been reading Shahak
for years. He has a satirist's eye for the confusions to be
found in any religion that tries to rationalise the
irrational. He has a scholar's sharp eye for textual
contradictions. He is a joy to read on the great
Gentile-hating Dr Maimonides.
Needless to say, Israel's authorities deplore Shahak.
But there is not much to be done with a retired professor
of chemistry who was born in Warsaw in 1933 and spent his
childhood in the concetration camp at Belsen. In 1945,
he came to Israel; served in the Israeli military; did not
become a Marxist in the years when it was fashionable.
He was -- and still is -- a humanist who detests imperialism
whether in the names of the God of Abraham or of George Bush.
Equally, he opposes with great wit and learning the
totalitarian strain in Judaism. Like a highly learned Thomas
Paine, Shahank illustrates the prospect before us, as well as
the long history behind us, and thus he continues to reason,
year after year. Those who heed him will certainly be wiser
and -- dare I say? -- better. He is the latest, if not the
last, of the great prophets.
