Haviv Rettig Gur
Haviv Rettig Gur@havivrettiggur·
When I find myself in left-wing spaces with people clinging to untested and untestable left-wing assumptions, I tend to feel very right-wing, to want to challenge them with the obvious holes in their assumptions until they offer up some serious answers. But then I turn around and hear the right, the unearned confidence, the total surety and casual cruelty, the way they will breezily label a patriotic Jew who has sacrificed for his country a Nazi. Just like that. No intermediate step. No argument against what he actually wrote. Just an instinctive anger that insists nothing is ever wrong and it is treason to say otherwise — and I find myself spending the rest of my day feeling pretty left-wing. I have no loyalty to political camps. Only to my family and my people. Those more loyal to their camp than their people can’t lecture the rest of us about loyalty. If these clowns had arguments, they wouldn’t default to Goebbels. If they had Jewish solidarity, they wouldn’t see Nazis in loyal Jews who’ve sacrificed more than they have. But they have neither. They have only this emptiness. For the record, and I hate to say it because it dignifies this emptiness with a response, I didn’t choose the publication date. It was supposed to be last week but was delayed by Iran developments. But I didn’t mind it either. I was too busy commemorating the day to notice the hour of publication. So does that make FP editors Nazis too now, you dolts? Can some decent right wingers weigh in and rescue us from the dumb ones? And I don’t just mean this dumb little ruckus. We could use a smarter, more loyal right more generally on the national stage.

Haviv Rettig Gur decided erev Yom Hadhoah is the right time to publish a long article in TFree Press titled “Israel has an Extremism Problem “ Really disturbing that he felt this was the time for this thankfully thus far must of the commenters called him out on his awful timing and more importantly they disagree that Israel’s “settlers” of the jewish homeland have anything to do with the hatred towards Israel here’s one comment “ Haviv employs the Goebbels method of propaganda. He always starts with largely fair and erudite historical exposition but always introduces a complete falsehood into his narrative. He claims that he is truthful by pointing to the correct portion of his propaganda pieces, just like Goebbels who maintained that the propaganda must be largely based on the truth.” Jew and non jew alike are very critical of Rettig Gur’s article
