The second part of the American Thinker article about the Left and Israel is up:

This tendency of rhetorical flourishes to outlive their original meaning is nowhere more obvious than in the Western Left. Notice, in the lines above, the ritual denunciation of competing sects (" ...the Revisionsim and Trotskyism which produced these armchair revolutionary defeatists..."), as peevish today as it was in the good old days when it referred to something. Today, a dozen years after the Soviet collapse, these outbursts have the character of skeletons doing a dance macabre in the graveyard. But they do tell us something about the emotional state of the dancers.

What they tell us is the powerful mood of resentment underlying the whole exercise, sometimes expressed as vituperation of other sects of the Left. Imagine, then, the powerful unconscious resentment against Israel which must be at work as well. In Israel, Labour Zionism created the institutions I alluded to above, which helped to build an entire country, which survive (not without difficulties) to this day, and which real people actually live by.
