An important essay from a powerful thinker. But revulsion against nationalism is only half the story: the other half is the profound myopia of multi-culturalism. The post-nationalist EU-niks do not despise nationalism for everybody; they have no problem with it outside of the West. It is for Europe, America and Israel alone that they proscribe nationalism as the road to Auschwitz; they will not judge the non-Westerner. So Israel gets the double whammy as not only atavisticly nationalist but also as a colonizer of the noble (or at least, immune from judgment) Arabs of the East.
