Israel, Jews, Muslims, antisemitism, pro-Hamas leftists, that sort of thing

• David Aaronovitch: Gilad Atzmon and his racist and "anti-racist" friends.
• Andrew Coates: Hamas kills opponents, Clare Short turns blind eye.
• David Hirsh responds to Jacqueline Rose and Tony Lerman. (More on Rose here.)
• Yiddish film in Israel: Something unprecedented. (H/t Arieh)
• Kenan Malik: After Rushdie - from fatwa to jihad
• Paul Stott: Aufheben on the Muslim "community" and against Patrick Cockburn's whitewashing of Al-Sadr - not totally boring shock!
  

P.S. I have updated some of my recent posts, including the one on Durban II, the one on practical support for Israel's Palestinian workers (comments solicited on that), and the one on Ron Paul and the tea parties.
