  ueber  [Marxism] 'Diagnosing Benny Morris": a profound view of the settler-co

  Thanks to Fred Feldman for making me aware of this article and the  
Benny Morris Interview.


FF> In anticipation of the publication of the revised edition, Morris was
FF> interviewed in Haaretz

FF> N o=380119).

  The text is no longer available at that address; but you might look

  It should also be noted, just of the sake of completeness, that  
Benny Morris has issued a statement after the interview was published  
and tried to embellish somewhat his stance, from where I quote this  
paragraph:

--------- schnipp -----------------------------------------
The compression of the seven hours of my interview with Ari Shavit
into two pages did not do me justice, at least in terms of the tone.
>From a whole range of statements on different issues, the harshest
ones were chosen, sometimes without nuances or qualifications. I
admit, I slipped here and there - I do not support and did not support
the extermination of the Indians, and I regret the use of the word
"cage."
------------------ schnapp --------------------------------

  But on the fundamental issues he still stands on "its either us or  
them".
