An
Unsealed Room: Trouble In the French Mafia: Avrum Burg in Le Monde
QUOTE
For the past month, my in-laws have been able to talk about little else other
than the scandal which
is rocking their Jerusalem synagogue... The crux of the matter is this:
Lucien Lazare, who is the father-in-law of leftwing Knesset member from Labor
Avrum Burg, translated
an extremely
controversial opinion piece into French for publication in Le Monde.... When
I say controversial...I mean really controversial. Its title: Zionism is dead.
Here's a taste:
UNQUOTE
Did they integrate in France? No. Are they French or Jews? Where do their
loyalties lie?
On the eve of destruction
QUOTE
He caused a furore - so does Avraham Burg regret his harsh, apocalyptic remarks
on the failures of Zionism? Not one bit: 'I am directing all my energy to the
central effort of saving Israel from the occupation, of saving Zionism from
itself.'
UNQUOTE
Some one approves of him. He did the interviewing too.
Avrum Burg's act of infamy
QUOTE
In virtually every era of Jewish
history, renegade Jews have emerged as effective disseminators of hatred against
their kinsmen. During the Middle Ages, a number of Jewish converts to
Christianity became the most effective promoters of anti-Semitism, adept at
distorting Jewish texts in order to demonize Jews, whom they portrayed as
Satan's emissaries [ they did know what they were talking about - Editor
] . But their impact rarely extended beyond the region in which they lived, or
the limited circulation of manuscripts or tracts which they produced.
In the current global environment of instant communication via the media and
Internet, contemporary Jewish demonizers of the Jewish people or its surrogate,
Israel, can achieve instantaneous global exposure [ which is why Jews buy or
control the media - Editor ].

Leibler was a lawyer - he is big on sound, weak on content.
Avrum Burg Comes Through
QUOTE
I knew it would happen sooner or later...Avrum Burg, a past Secretary General of
the Jewish Agency and Speaker of the Israeli Knesset, has given up on Israel and
Political Zionism...
Mostly because he realizes that the problem with Israel is not the Arabs but
Israel itself. The Jewish people have are suffering from a collective Holocaust
trauma.

A Jewish academic approves.

Avrum
Burg and
Yasser Abed Rabbo, the architects of the Geneva Accords, spoke to Seattle
audiences yesterday about their vision of a just solution to the
Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Burg is a Labor party member of the Israeli
Knesset and Rabbo is former Information Minister in the Palestinian Authority.

Some one else approves.
Avrum Burg a former Zionist
QUOTE
During the many years I served in the Jewish Agency, on behalf of the OU and
Mizrachi, I had many negative encounters with Avrum Burg. Some hint of it is
documented in my book.
Walking around with a mini-yarmulke, he was the most anti-orthodox outspoken
individual one could encounter. As Chairman of the Agency, he had great power,
and in my opinion was utterly obnoxious. It often seemed that he said and did
things to spite those who had reason to expect understanding from him.
Only his respect for his sainted father Dr Yosef Burg, one of the heroes of the
creation of the State, and after his death respect for his mother kept him
within a certain reasonable boundary. Because of his father, he could claim to
be orthodox, though his children went to non-orthodox schools.
Once he left the Agency, and his political career crumble (member of the
Knesset) ,he removed himself from the mainstream.
Now, Burg in an interview in Haaretz, said he is no longer a Zionist, and is in
favor of abrogating the Law of Return. Burg also called on Israelis to obtain a
foreign passport.
He brings great shame on his family, and is a discredit to the religious Zionist
upbringing that his blessed father instilled in him. (Yosef was the head of the
NRP-National Religious Party).

Another Zionist does not like little Avrum but gives no real grounds.

Former Knesset
Speaker Says 'Law of Return' Mirrors Hitler
QUOTE
....... most American Jews' idea of Israel is a
"fantasy built on a delusion." They have little idea what it's really like; it
represents Jewish dreams of power and persecution. When I went to Israel last
summer, I was struck by two large sad impressions: the militarism, and the fact
that Jews had as little to do with Arabs as possible. The bottom line for me
came when a friend said, "They don't want us here; so we must accept that we
will have one war after another..." Despair.

Another Jew thinks he is on the right lines.
The Man
Here is the one the fuss is about. He doesn't look worried. He is trying to sell
his book and a bit of controversy will no harm.
