There is a lot of knowledge that is lost because of translation especially that which comes from resistance movements whose organic intellectuals describe and anlyse anti imperialist struggle from the inside and in their own languages. One such example is the PFLP´s views on Zionism. Zionism as a project, it says is bigger than Israel. Israel is only one manifestation of it, but its principal ideological role is to promote imperialist aggression particularly in places where the US and other leading imperialists shy away from open intervention for diplomatic pressures, etc. this literature dates back to mid sixties and of course it gives a whole new meaning for the dictum lost in translation
----- Original Message ---- From: Marvin Gandall <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: PEN-L <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, August 12, 2008 11:59:32 AM Subject: [Pen-l] The Israel-Georgia connection Tel Aviv to Tbilisi: Israel's role in the Russia-Georgia war By Ali Abunimah The Electronic Intifada 12 August 2008 >From the moment Georgia launched a surprise attack on the tiny breakaway region of South Ossetia last week, prompting a fierce Russian counterattack, Israel has been trying to distance itself from the conflict. This is understandable: with Georgian forces on the retreat, large numbers of civilians killed and injured, and Russia's fury unabated, Israel's deep involvement is severely embarrassing.
