Israeli-Turned-Frenchman Burg Turns Anti-Zionist

Avrum Burg's new book is now translated into English and he gets a big push from the NYTimes although Ethan Bronner does quote those who bash it:

Ari Shavit, a writer for the newspaper Haaretz, said to him in an interview when the book was published here: “Your book is anti-Israel in the deepest sense. It is a book from which loathing of Israeliness emanates.”


and

Tom Segev, for example, a left-wing historian and Haaretz columnist, said in a review that the book was “one of the most spaced-out and in-your-face books this country has seen in many years.”
