Israeli - Obituary - Uri Avnery
He once played chess with Yasser Arrafat - and a staunch believer of peace with the Palestinians from an honorable position. He was himself a Zionist BUT “understood the history of Zionism, another despicable apartheid theory that is an offshoot of fascism”.https://www.independent.co.uk/voices...-a8499181.html

Re: Israeli - Obituary - Uri Avnery
Clearly a good man -certainly for pro Palestinian Robert Fisk .Avnery was a hard left peace activist who lived a long and free life in democratic Israel free to critise his own government with impunity.
A life shielded by the protection of the soldiers of Israel .
I don't know -it doesn't do to speak ill of the dead -it would appear he has a touch of the Corbyn about him liked to meet terrorists etc .
Perhapd Robert Fisk can find his Palestinian counterpart?

Re: Israeli - Obituary - Uri Avnery
Robert Fisk continued to report:Avnery contd to say:
“I will tell you something about the Holocaust. It would be nice to believe that people who have undergone suffering have been purified by suffering. But it’s the opposite, it makes them worse. It corrupts. There is something in suffering that creates a kind of egoism.
