Yossi Klein Halevi (a very smart writer, btw, and far from a right-winger) sums it up about Burg well:

“Avrum is a friend, but I felt what most people felt—that, beyond the ideological debate, there is something profoundly wrong in his character,” Yossi Klein Halevi, a writer, said. “You don’t take all the perks of the Zionist movement and refuse to relinquish them and then repudiate the most cherished notions of Zionism at the same time. There’s something smarmy about it. He is so totally out of touch with Israeli reality that I’m appalled that he ever had any positions of Israeli authority. That interview really destroyed him, or he destroyed himself.”


When even a left-winger like Ari Shavit protests, you know that Burg has gone off the edge. Israelis as far as I can tell feel that Burg has gone crazy. He's an embarrassment.
