This is a story about a young Israeli high school teacher and a student who accused him of making inappropriate “left wing” political comments in class. It is being widely covered in Israel, but this kind of tale, although it speaks volumes about the repressive political and social culture in the Jewish state, rarely makes it to the mainstream or even the Jewish press here in the United States. That is one reason why when a fine journalist such as Max Blumenthal writes a disturbing but accurate account of antidemocratic trends in Jewish Israeli society, many people find his reports unbelievable: they never heard of such a thing in their cherished and largely imagined Israel.
