A Jewish man of conscience who has become enlightened about the moral bankruptcy of Zionism. This is especially significant because he has seen and worked for its crimes from the inside, and now has the courage to admit his errors and do penance to expiate his transgressions.

This article doesn't only apply to disgusting Burg. It applies to the whole Labor Party. Under early leaders, like Golda Meir, Labor was a strong Zionist party. Today it is party of sedition, whose platform is similar to Fatah and Hamas. Labor has become a foe of Israel.

Arafat had no choice but to reject the Clinton proposal. Arafat was the leader of the PLO, the "Palestinian Liberation Organisation". It's aim is as it's name says the complete liberation of all of Palestine Juden Rain. The only other country that is based on a religion is Iran. Burg sees that Zionism is implausible, unsustainable, and could lead to catastrophe for the Jewish people. No "ISM" has survived in history.

.... could it be a variance of ebola?? Those creatures never stop surprising me..!!

I think that is necessary to look where are now his children. May be some of them are in Europe, and he behaves as a protective father and completely lost his mind.

To elect Sharon as PM alienated a lot of Jews .True he was a great Courageous and Skilled Warrior Ruthless yet less Ruthless than the Soviet Generals and USA airforce over Japan.Post Shoah he broke the Doctrine of Unjust Ruthless Force in Lebanon.Sabra and Shatilla were Sickening and in TelAviv 400,000 Protested Begin was Brocken a great not Squemish Man .Burg was not Post Shoah however so he is not Relevant.Lapid is far more relevant his Father the late Tommy Lapid suffered in the Shoah .And he was a Loyal and Nudnick Zionist .

theories about the "Burg Syndrome", but isn't it giving too much importance to a lowlife?

The Left may be internationally understood to engender the elements of revisionism, deconstructionism, post-modernism, etc. Nationalist governments persecute them, liberal democracies celebrate them, minorities thrive under them, tax payers support them. Burg's devolution should be no surprise. What's intolerable is the middle-of-the-road types defending The Left's sentiment as an equally valid expression of political opinion, etc. The Left is a danger to any host culture in which it takes root. Laughable in Berkeley, CA but downright dangerous in the polity of the Jewish state.

the man thinks that he is morally superior to all others. he is no longer even a believer. burg's claim that israelis are paranoid and fascists because of the trauma of the holocaust is shallow and wrong. israel is very heterogeneous, with jews who came from mizrachi and sephardi backgrounds. most of israel now is sabra. to the extant that israelis might be traumatised, it is the result of incessant terror by the arabs. however, most israelis are strong and happy people. israel is a vibrant country with flaws like all countries. burg is upset because he lost all of his positions and the respect of people.

Not at all, Mr. Yemini! By the way, you write yourself that Burg was "both leftist and Zionist". Today, it should remain classified data, but I hope, Mr. Yemini, that at least you are aware that original Leftist Zionism was totally opposed to the creation of a Jewish state, what explains their implacable fight against Jabotinsky and his followers who on the contrary fought for a Jewish state and a Jewish armed force. So, Mr. Yemini is it such a big surprise, Mr. Burg willingness to concur again basic "Leftist Zionism"?

by the New Israel Fund and i24English. The same as Yossi Beilin.

Yemini asks how a member of the "Zionist Left" becomes an anti-Israel communist. The answer is because he is honest: there is no "Zionist Left". An Israeli Leftist eventually realizes that he must choose between the two incompatible ideas: either the Jews' right to live as sovereigns in their own country, or Leftism's mandate that the Jews must cease to exist.

So he already became a Christian, huh? What about "doing penance to expiate transgressions" about your genocide and ethnic cleansing in the US. Know the name of the native American tribe whose land in Maryland you shamelessly occupy? No, thought so. Much more effective to beat on Jewish breast for your ugly sins.

The same punks demonizing those that show human impulse go around kvetching that nobody loves them or yelping about this 'anti' crap ,.... Get a life ,...

I hear Burg has been offered a role on the Governing Body of Friends of Naturei Karta!

What Jews rightly call perfidy, you call "human impulse". But when it comes to your own society, the only ones you accuse of perfidy just happen to be Jews. What a hypocrite.
