To see how paranoid, how unhinged, how downright scary the left’s loathing for Israel has become, look no further than the green-ink missive signed by 180 showbiz folk this week.
It is ostensibly a defence of Mark Ruffalo, Hollywood’s shrillest hater of Israel, who’s been facing accusations of anti-Semitism. But it reads more like the ravings of a mental patient. It’s like something vomited up by the murkiest Subreddit. With its demented, infantile blather about the hidden links between Gaza, oligarchic power and our ‘Orwellian’ overlords who are watching our every move, it is the clearest proof yet that the anti-Israel crusade has curdled into a vicious bigotry with eerie echoes of ancient hatreds.
