RABBI MICHAEL LERNER’S ‘PROGRESSIVE ZIONISM’ IS SICKENING
I receive emails daily from a broad spectrum of Left and Progressive organisations. I always found it odd however when I receive such mails from a group or individual describing themselves as ‘Progressive zionist’. I find that term to be an oxymoron. Michael Lerner, of Tikkun Magazine is one such individual. His views on Israel can be seen in THIS report. The ‘Jewtopia’ he dreams of is just that, a dream. His organisation claims to stand for ‘healing, repairing and transforming the world’, in actuality it seems to do just the opposite. An email I received from his group this morning was quite disturbing, instead of attacking Richard Goldstone for his ‘about face’, he attacks Uri Avnery for telling it as it is.
