Europe's nightmare

by Miron Rezun (2001)

About this book

"Based on the widest possible range of sources, including documentation in nearly every European language, this study will appeal to experts and laymen alike. Rezun refuses to take sides. In addition to his criticisms of foreign intervention, exaggerated statistics, and reverse ethnic cleansing, he is merciless in his condemnation of the Serbs, in particular the corrupt influence of Milosevic and the late Arkan. In a writing style laced with irony, wit, and satire, he reveals the foibles of limited war and the errors committed by all parties. Yet his primary focus remains the suffering of the men, women, and children who filled the refugee camps and the devastated villages to which they have returned."--BOOK JACKET.

>Υπάρχει μια πολύ στενή σχέση ανάμεσα σε εκείνους που αυτοαποκαλούνται "στρατόπεδο της ειρήνης" στο Ισραήλ και στους ομολόγους τους της ευρωπαϊκής Αριστεράς. Το βιβλίο αυτό ρίχνει αλύπητα φως στη σχέση τους, που είναι ιδιαίτερα έντονη στο πεδίο της λογοτεχνίας. Αναλύει την υποδοχή στην Ευρώπη των έργων του Άμος Οζ, του Α. Μπ. Γιεοσούα και του Νταβίντ Γκρόσσμαν, διερευνά τον τρόπο με τον οποίο οι συγγραφείς αυτοί μεταμφιέζονται σε ανθρώπους που προωθούν την ειρήνη και τους λόγους που η κριτική ανταποκρίνεται με τέτοιον ενθουσιασμό. Δείχνει ότι οι Ισραηλινοί διανοούμενοι -οι περισσότεροι είναι ασκεναζίμ, εκκοσμικευμένοι και υποστηρικτές των Εργατικών- θεωρείται από τους αντίστοιχους στην Ευρώπη ότι ανήκουν στους "δικούς μας", φτάνει να μένουν πάντα εκεί μακριά, στην Ανατολή. Αντίστοιχα, οι ίδιοι Ισραηλινοί διανοούμενοι νοιάζονται πρωταρχικά να ανήκουν -ή να φαίνεται ότι ανήκουν, πάση θυσία- στην ευρωπαϊκή ιντελλιγκέντσια. Αντικειμενικά, αυτό που έχουν κοινό είναι ο φόβος και το μίσος για την Ανατολή. - Mαρξιστικό Bιβλιοπωλείο

Paul Krassner

Fans of *The Daily Show* and *The Onion* will appreciate this timely collection of satirical essays by counterculture icon Paul Krassner. With irreverence and an often X-rated wit, Krassner writes with a unique perspective on comedy and obscenity in politics and culture, from "Bong Hits 4 Jesus" banners to scenes cut out of recent movies, including *Borat* and *Milk*. In his essay "Don Imus Meets Michael Richards," Krassner examines racism in comdey, from Lenny Bruce to Dave Chapelle, on *The Sarah Silverman Snow* and *Curb Your Enthusiasm*, and in controversial comic strips like *The Bookdocks*. In his piece "The Great Muhammad Cartoon Controversy," he looks at free speech and self-censorship in the face of threats–real and perceived–from religious fundamentalists. Throughout, Krassner riffs about busted public figures, counterculture, free speech, late-night talk shows, censorship, sex, and the current state of satire.
