On the Occasion of Israel's 66th Birthday, a Leftist, Zion-Loathing Israeli Academic (Is There Any Other Kind?) Trashes the Jewish State for Readers of The New Yorker

A shameful exercise all round, as unpacked and countered by CAMERA.

Update: Re the above-mentioned Israeli and his ilk (many of whom are Jews living in the Diaspora), Daniel Greenfield writes that they aren't "self-loathing." They are, in, fact, self-adoring:
Left-wingers of Jewish descent are indoctrinated to hate their own people. It’s a subset of the white privilege school. Even when they aren’t, their politics lead them to do it anyway. If you have no special feeling for Israel and you take a college course on the Middle East, you’re likely to come out hating Israel and then Jews for being so greedy and provincial. And like Soros, you’ll feel that your Anti-Semitism makes you a better person.  
What it isn’t however is self-hatred. 
The term self-hatred is often a misnomer especially today. Jewish Anti-Semites of the non-neurotic kind rarely hate themselves. They hate others. They like themselves quite a lot.
In other words, they love themselves. It's Judaism and Jewry they hate.
