Abstract:
Contends that there is a phenomenon of self-hatred amongst Israeli Jews. Concentrates on its manifestation in the secular left-wing of Israeli politics. Attacks Knesset members of the Citizens' Rights Movement and other members of the Left, claiming particularly that they distort the memory of the Holocaust, either by trying to universalize its meaning or by symbolically transferring the status of victim to the Palestinians. Another development is the left-wing argument that Israel is now a fascist state. Examines the same phenomenon in the arts, claiming that Yehoshua Sobol's dramatic works reflect his antisemitism.
