John O'Mahony on "Perdition":
"I think Jim Allen's play Perdition, about the massacre of the Jews of Hungary in 1944, should be produced. Those Jews who have campaigned against its being produced are wrong in principle and shortsighted in practice... That said, the ballyhoo about the 'suppression' of Perdition is disingenuous... It has not been banned... in fact it has been assured a greater audience... In the play, the demonology of present-day Israel, read backwards into history as the demonology of Zionism, wipes out everything else... alleging that 'Zionism', with something like five million Jews already dead, needed the corpses of a million more Jews in Hungary to help it strengthen the moral case for setting up Israel after the war..."

Dear Cliff: The present nightmarish reawakening of the furies of Judeophobia in Eastern Europe demands of honest socialists whose commitment to the destruction of Israel puts them in an attitude of comprehensive hostility to all but a handful of the Jews alive in the world today that they look at their own political features in the mirror of these events.

Moishe Postone is a Marxist academic based at the University of Chicago. As well as writing extensively on Marx’s political economy, he has also been central to the development of theories of “left anti-semitism”, which look at ways in which positions taken by left groups, particularly on Israel/Palestine, can feed into, or be based on, hostility to Jews.
