    Among- the most disturbing political phenomena of our time is the emergence in the newly created state of Israel of the “Freedom Party” (Tnuat Haherut), a political party closely akin in its organization, methods, political philosophy and social appeal to the Nazi and Fascist parties. It was formed out of the membership and following of the former Irgun Zvai Leumi, a terrorist, right-wing, chauvinist organization In Palestine.

    The current visit of Menachen Begin, leader of this .party, to the United States is obviously calculated to give the impression of American support for his party in the coming Israeli elections, and to cement political ties with conservative Zionist elements in the United States.

    It goes on, but I think you get the gist. And I’ll just add, it’s a most disturbing political phenomena of our time, that this has been allowed to progress to something that rather looks like death camps.
