 MORE ON NOAM CHOMSKY AND ON URI AVNERY,  THE TWO MOST IMPORTANT ASSETS OF THE ZIONIST PROPGANDA  MACHINE
by Benjamin Merhav (article 30 in a series)
 
Ostensibly, both Noam Chomsky and Uri Avnery have been strongly  criticised by zionist propaganda outlets, particularly by fanatical zionists  like Alan Dershowitz and his ilk. Yet, that criticism never harmed any of the  two. On the contrary, it has enhanced their positions among Left and peace  activists. So much so, it seems without that criticism very few on the Left  would have trusted any of them, knowing their treacherous records. Thus, for  example, both Chomsky and Avnery, have strongly supported the military  aggression and invasion of Arab lands by the zionist apartheid regime of Israel  during June 1967. Avnery had then gone as far as demand that the zionist army  invade and occupy Damascus, rather than be satisfied with the occupation and  annexation of the Golan Heights alone. In fact, he used the paper he produced  and edited to fan the flames of chauvinism and war hysteria inside Israel during  that war. Another example of their treacherous records is their
 approval of the  zionist apartheid regime, along with its institutionalised racism and fascist  policies. Both of them have never stated  their opposition to zionism nor to the zionist apartheid regime of Israel, much  less condemn the racist regime. Accordingly, both support a two  state peace agreement, thus allowing the continuation of the zionist apartheid  regime, rather than a non-racist democratic state all over historic  Palestine.
 
They both oppose the full and unconditional return of the Palestinian  refugees, and they both oppose international sanctions against the racist  regime. Uri Avnery, with his background as a fanatical follower of Jabotinsky (  including membership of Irgun, the zionist terror organisation), had gone even  further than Chomsky . He had actually volunteered (and he is still very proud  of it !) to a zionist commando unit during the 1948 zionist war of ethnic  cleansing. As soon as the war was over Avnery began a political career as a self  proclaimed peace activist, only to betray the peace movement in 1967. This year,  ever since the horrendous escalation of zionist state terrorism and war crimes,  following the Palestinian elections, and then the invasion of Lebanon, Chomsky  and Avnery failed once more to condemn the criminal zionist regime, and to call  for international sanctions against it.
 Having dealt with Chomsky's treachery regarding the current situation in the  last 5 articles in this series, let us now examine Avnery's attitude as  reflected in two of his latest articles. The latest one, published by  counterpunch.org over the weekend ,19/20 August, has got a rather revealing  title : "Where are the Achievements of This War? The 155th Victim".  What "achievments" was Avnery hoping for by  this series of zionist war crimes and crimes against humanity perpetrated by the  racist regime against the people of Lebanon ?
 

The article serves as an eye-opener for anyone who does  not know that Avnery has been a fanatical zionist all his life. It is a kind of  debate he is having with the zionist army chieftains, accusing them of not being  competent. Avnery is actually angry at the zionist generals not because they  perpetrated horrendous crimes, rather because they were not good enough at doing  so ! Listen to this : 
"AFTER EVERY failed war, the cry for  an official investigation goes up in Israel. Now there is a "trauma", much  bitterness, a feeling of defeat and of a missed opportunity. Hence the demand  for a strong Commission of Inquiry that will cut off the heads of those  responsible."
 

What does Uri Avnery mean by "missed opportunity" ? Did  he expect the zionist invading army to crush the Lebanese resistance, and do so  without any casualities ? Could it be that Avnery still clings to his old dream  of invading Damascus, and he is disappointed now ? Yet there is a contradiction  here between Avnery's imperial dreams and his conclusion that there cannot be  any peace for as long as Israel occupies the 1967 invaded Arab lands. However,it  is merely the contradiction between Avnery, the fanatical zionist, and his  purported peace activist role. He sure remains a fanatical zionist ! Here is  what he says just before concluding his article : 
"All over Israel, they are already  talking about the "Next Round", the war that will at long last eliminate  Hizbullah and punish it for besmirching our honor. That has become, so it seems,  a self-evident matter. Even Haaretz treats it as such in its  editorials."
 

Already a few days earlier, in an article published by  the same zionism loving website, under the title, What the Hell has Happened to the Israeli  Army? Avnery showed his true colours, the zionist colours. Here  is what he says about the Israeli army : 
"This war casts a dark shadow on the whole upper echelon of our army. I  assume that there are some talented officers, but the general picture is of a  senior officers corps that is mediocre or worse, grey and unoriginal. Almost all  the many officers that have appeared on TV are unimpressive, uninspiring  professionals, experts on covering their behinds, repeating empty clichés like  parrots."
 
Avnery is not critical of the zionist army because it is an occupation  army, an imperialist army, which has been perpetrating war crimes and crimes  against humanity in Palestine and in Lebanon. He is merely concerned that  "general picture is of a senior officers corps that is mediocre or worse, grey  and unoriginal". How can anyone believe this same Uri Avnery when he presents  himself as a "peace activist" ? He himself attempts to cover himself in the  article as follows , but only to further sink into the zionist quagmire :
 
"We, as people of peace, have a great interest in changing the military  leadership. First, because it has a huge impact on the forming of policy and, as  we just saw, irresponsible commanders can easily drag the government into  dangerous adventures. And second, because even after achieving peace we shall  need an efficient army--at least until the wolf lies down with the lamb, as the  prophet Isaiah promised."
 
Genuine people of peace do not  support an imperialist army. Instead, they would change the  entire regime which produces and maintains such an army. Change of the army  officers would not make any difference, as the army would remain a zionist  occupation army for as long as the zionist apartheid regime of Israel exists !
