Abstract: -- Excerpt: Avnery began sending us his column in 2002, only a few months after CounterPunch went online. And they came, usually on a Friday night, with a faithful regularity. The first column Avnery sent us was "The Ship is on the Way," on the blockade of Gaza. The final one, a scathing indictment of Israel's new "Basic Law," was published on August 6, under the title "Who the Hell are we." Subject Headings |
