“Like Shamirpower and Avraham Burg, Tmol Shilshom is vegetarian.”
LOL!
Inc you missed the joke.

BZ — you were referencing Shamir*power’s post from a few weeks ago that said her and Avraham Burg were perfect together because they’re both vegetarian.

Was his talk along the same lines as his recent Ha’aretz editorial. The following excerpt has to rank up there with one of the most moronic utterances ever by a Jewish public intellectual:

Behaving as “a nation that dwells alone” came naturally to us, and we abandoned the universal responsibility of the Jewish people, which was once “a nation of the world” and has now become too much of “a nation of the land.”
The results of this closing of the national soul are very sad. For the first time in millennia, we are not at the forefront of influence on the world. In the past, there was hardly an era in which we did not have an influence.

Burg’s position is that today’s Jews, who in America and Israel are at the cutting edge of every scientific and intellectual endeavor have “no influence” compared to centuries in which we were locked in the ghetto and schtetl, kept away from the wider world. That’s just schtyuot on stilts.

avrum burg is a traitor
