	Israel Shahak - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Israel Shahak (1933–2001) was a Professor of Chemistry at Hebrew University in Jerusalem, the former president of the Israeli League for Human and Civil Rights, and an outspoken critic of the Israeli government, of Israel and of Jews and Judaism in general.
		Born on April 28, 1933 in Warsaw, Poland, Shahak survived the Belsen concentration camp and emigrated to the British Mandate of Palestine in 1945, shortly before the establishment of the State of Israel.
		Shahak reports having been radicalized first by the Suez War and his feeling of betrayal by David Ben-Gurion's push to occupy the Sinai Peninsula, then continuing through his time in the United States.

		Israel Shahak, who has died aged 68 from complications caused by diabetes, was for 25 years a highly popular professor of organic chemistry at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
		Shahak was the youngest child of a prosperous, cultured Polish Jewish family; when, during the wartime Nazi occupation of Poland, the family was forced into the Warsaw ghetto, his father even sought out a chess tutor for his son.
		Shahak's older brother escaped and joined the Royal Air Force, only to be shot down; Shahak's father disappeared and the hiding of fair-haired Israel with a poor Catholic family ended when his mother could no longer pay for his keep.

	Interview with Israel Shahak (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Shahak is professor of Chemistry at Hebrew University and Chairperson of the Israeli League for Human and Civil Rights.
		I mean by this that Israel should not keep conquered territories, because they don't belong to their society and because in the long run Arab states will not tolerate such a thing.
		Israel, in order to survive, has to renounce the wish for domination and then it will be a much better place for Jews also.

	Ramzi Baroud Pays Tribute to Israel Shahak Originally published in Arabia
		He wrote, “in 1956 I eagerly swallowed all of Ben-Gurion’s political and military reasons for Israel initiating the Suez War, until he pronounced in the Knesset on the third day of that war that the real reason for it is the restoration of the Kingdom of David and Solomon to its biblical border.
		Shahak was outraged by the treatment of Palestinians by his own government, a fury that is reflected in his legacy.
		With Israel Shahak's death, the phenomena has become a legacy; and the professor’s insightful work shall always testify to the rightfulness of the Palestinian struggle, the inhumanity of the vile occupation and the profound racism of the Zionist discourse.

		Shahak continues with the Rabin quotation: " ' " [The Palestinians] will rule by their own methods, freeing -- and this is most important -- the Israeli soldiers from having to do what they will do.
		Shahak is careful to note, even in passing, that he is not writing about Israel as an exception; indeed, he is trying to counter commentary about Israel which depends on Israel's supposed uniqueness, whether seen as positive or negative.
		Israel Shahak died on July 2, but he left us with crucial lessons about liberation -- of victims from their oppressors, and of ourselves from blind belief.

	Israel Shahak - The Real Israeli Interests in Lebanon
		Shahak gained a wide international audience through his regular “Translations from the Hebrew Press”, which gave the non-Hebrew speaking world a unique glimpse into the extreme and racist rhetoric about Arabs, Palestinians and Jewish supremacy that characterizes much of ‘mainstream’ discourse in Israel.
		Shahak´s writings continuously exposed and denounced Israel as an expansionist, chauvinist and racist state bent on the domination of the surrounding Arab peoples, especially the Palestinians.
		Shahak explained, “After 1967, when I ceased being just a scientist and became a political being, my first reason was that after 1967 the Israeli aim was to dominate is the Middle East, which every rational human being knows is impossible.

	Israel and Judaism
		Shahak draws on the Talmud and rabbinical laws, and points to the fact that today’s extremism finds its sources in classical texts which, if they are not properly understood, will lead to religious warfare, harmful to men and women of all religious beliefs.
		Shahak points out that a widespread misunderstanding about Orthodox Judaism is that it is a “biblical religion,” that the Old Testament has in Judaism the same central place and legal authority that the Bible has for Protestants and even Roman Catholics.
		Israel Shahak may be unlamented in his own country today, but future generations may well look back to his example, much as contemporary Germans do to figures such as Dietrich Bonhoeffer, the Lutheran pastor who opposed Nazism and was executed for his part in the plot to assassinate Hitler.

	Coalition Building Against Iran by Israel Shahak
		Israel pressed Turkey to denounce the "Iranian fundamentalist regime," arguing that "as a secular state Turkey has a duty to do so." The Turks responded that "in our view the character of a regime is a purely internal affair of every state." Ben is quite displeased by the Turkish positions on both issues.
		Yet Israel stridently talks about a policy which some may find objectionable, already at its designing stage." After such a preamble, the reader is caught off-guard by the writer's demand for a "public and parliamentary debate" about Israeli policies towards the Kurds.
		The relations between Israel and Turkey are for Levy based on "love" and "true friendship" and secondarily on their common attitude toward "Kurdish terrorism," which in his view Syria supports for the same reasons it supports Hizbollah.

		While it is true that Israel is surrounded by Arab countries, to interpret this as Israel being under siege by hostile states requires a major leap of faith, as Israel Shahak, a Jewish writer and scholar reveals in his book, Open Secrets.
		Shahak is not opposed to the zionist State of Israel; he does not wish to see a Palestinian State established on the entire land of Palestine.
		Shahak calls it 'Israeli apartheid.' But he reveals that these roads were planned by Sharon as early as 1977 and neither Rabin nor his foreign minister Shimon Peres objected to it at the time (p.177).

		But it's the very deal the Israeli settlers reject in their own case, and they do not even live in Israel "proper." (They just have the support of the armed forces of Israel "proper.") So now things are not so nice and many Palestinians have turned violent and even--whatever next?--religious and fanatical.
		Shahak's childhood was spent in Nazified Poland, the Warsaw Ghetto and Bergen-Belsen concentration camp; at the end of the war he was the only male left in his family.
		For Shahak, the liberation of the Jewish people was an aspect of the Enlightenment, and involved their own self-emancipation from ghetto life and from clerical control, no less than from ancient "Gentile" prejudice.

		Shahak who, when asked to identify the mysterious orthodox Jew who would have let that man die, acknowledges that the Jew of whom he spoke did not exist.
		Shahak's admission that he lied about the Jew who would not save the Gentile is documented therein, as is his lie concerning the Chief Rabbinate's ruling.

		One of the differences between Israel and other states is that the latter might have practiced racial or ethnic discrimination in a specific period of time in the past, whereas in Israel such discrimination still is practiced.

		Israel Shahak, an Israeli Jew, born in Poland, incarcerated in Belsen and a resident in Israel for over 40 years, has produced an intriguing and controversial study of the extent to which the secular state of Israel has been shaped by religious orthodoxies of a potentially dangerous nature.
		In this controversial book, acclaimed Israeli writer Israel Shahak and American scholar Norton Mezvinsky explore the consequences of the fundamentalist belief that people of Jewish faith are special before God, a belief the fundamentalists passionately defend.
		Israel's foreign policy is perceived to be essentially a defensive one by the international community.

	Israel Shahak on the Secrets of Judaism (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		The widespread misconception that Israel, even without considering its regime in the Occupied Territories, is a true democracy arises from the refusal to confront the significance of the term 'a Jewish state' for non-Jews.
		Israel also strictly prohibits Jews settled on 'National Land' to sub-rent even a part of their land to Arabs, even for a short time; and those who do so are punished, usually by heavy fines.
		Those religious Jews in Israel who are honest, as the majority of them undoubtedly are, are so not because of the influence of their religion and rabbis, but in spite of it.

		From Jerusalem, Israel Shahak never ceases to analyse not only the dismal politics of Israel today but the Talmud itself, and the effect of the entire rabbinical tradition on a small state that the right-wing rabbinate means to turn into a theocracy for Jews only.
		In 1945, he came to Israel; served in the Israeli military; did not become a Marxist in the years when it was fashionable.
		It is characteristic and instructive that Israel's major role in arming the forces of the Somoza regime in Nicaragua, and those of Guatemala, El Salvador, Chile and the rest has not given rise to any wide public debate in Israel or among organized Jewish communities in the diaspora.

	Remembering Israel Shahak
		Back at the start of the 1980s the image of Israel as a rational exercise in social democracy flourished mightily and thus it was all the more startling to hear Shahak's expositions of the racist, mystical strains in Israel's religio-political culture.
		Looking back at my record of that first session with Shahak, I see that our conversation started with a typical Shahakian comparison: "It would be a good thing, I think, for Americans to ask themselves once a year whether the USA was a democracy before 1865; that is, before the constitutional abolition of slavery.
		The situation of the state of Israel and of the territories occupied by it is quite analogous.

	With Israel Shahak's Death, A Prophetic Voice Is Stilled
		Israel Shahak's vision can perhaps best be found in his books, Jewish History, Jewish Religion (Pluto Press, 1994) and Jewish Fundamentalism in Israel (Pluto Press, 1994) written with Norton Mezvinsky.
		It troubled Israel Shahak that the lesson many Jews learned from the Nazi period was to embrace ethno-centric nationalism-just what had created such tragedy in Europe-and to reject the older prophetic Jewish tradition of universalism.
		Bill Mitchell's excellent tribute to Israel Shahak touched a very personal chord with me, as it got to the heart of the loss of faith I have experienced with Judaism over the past year.

		"This" Israel Shahak is a former professor of Chemistry from Hebrew University in Israel (not a professor of Jewish Studies, as if THAT would even say anything in his favor).
		He is a prolific author in politics, is on the Far Left end of the spectrum, and is out for the deconstruction of Israel as a Jewish state.
		Shahak is used in EXACTLY the same way by the SAME ANTISEMITES as a JEWISH tool to deconstruct Judaism.
