LERNER: Well, that’s what I said – a lot of this attack is anti-Semitic. It singles out Israel as the worst country in the world, when… I mean, it’s just crazy. Look at the genocide going on in Darfur at this moment. The numbers of people who have been killed, the numbers of people who have been raped, it’s just unbelievable what’s going on down there. It far surpasses all of the deaths that have been caused by the Israel-Palestinian struggle from the beginning to the present moment; from the beginning of that struggle to the present moment, far surpassed by what’s going on in Darfur, not to mention what has gone on previously in Rwanda.
And so, people on the left who single out Israel, when the level of violence and destructiveness is nothing compared to what’s going on in some of these other countries, are anti-Semitic, objectively anti-Semitic, whatever their intentions are. It’s an anti-Semitic response.
KALL: Well, we’ve hit the end of the hour. Thank you so much.
LERNER: I hope your listeners will consider subscribing to Tikkun Magazine, because this voice is only going to keep going if people are willing to at least put forward those $25 subscription fees, or to join the Network of Spiritual Progressives, which would help us tremendously, because this voice isn’t going to be here otherwise.
KALL: Okay, thank you and good night. Have a happy new year.
