Needless to say, Israel's authorities deplore Shahak. But there is not much to be done with a retired professor of chemistry who was born in Warsaw in 1933 and spent his childhood in the concetration camp at Belsen.
So Gore Vidal prefaces a prof of chemistry. That now makes him a great historian? Shahak, the Marxist, the equivalent of the Hellenist Jews?
And this information is on http://www.duke.org/shahak/english/default.htm
And do you know who Duke is? Try the head of the KKK in in USA south.
Hates "niggers and kikes" yet quotes the great humanist Shahak.
Roll around again.....
He was self hating Jew. Embarrased of his Jewishness. Worked with Radio Islam.

Only in a democracy could he say what he did. In any Arab country if he spoke up against the religion and the goverment the way he did in and about Israel, he would have been shot on the spot.
That's about the best thing he did. He proved that Israel is a democracy.
