Yes, Jay, Escobar is an interesting thinker. But I am inclined to think the quality of sheer stupidity is also involved. More importantly perhaps Israel is trapped within the logic of Zionism. This is a colonialism which has come very late to the feast. The Holocaust breathed life into a project which always was parasitical on the major colonial powers. What can they do? They have stolen the land and must continue with all the policies that are necessitated by that. Weemingly they cannot get to the happy land of post-colonialism that the two-state solution is meant to usher in. The Petraeus line that Israel is hampering the efforts of American imperialism can also be stood on its head. There are increasingly a number of negatives associated with being a client state of American imperialism, and I suspect that these are coming to the surface, now with the realignments happening between turkey, Iran, Syria and indirectly Russia. regards Gary ________________________________________________ Send list submissions to: [email protected] Set your options at: http://lists.econ.utah.edu/mailman/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
