Hitchens on the Right to Speak

Christopher Hitchens take on the Judt non-affair. Judt's position is 'Nation states are passe and distasteful. Israel should be the first country to stop being one'. Why Israel? Because Judt doesn't like Israel. He has the luxury of running his own Institute and basically having a column in the NYR - yet declaims loudly that his freedom of expression is being quenched because Zionists dared protest that he be allowed to rail against Israel at a Polish Consulate function.

National states are passé? Then why not attack European states, the majority of whom are national?
Why not France - or Hungary or Italy or all the others?
Why Israel alone? There is only one answer: anti-Semitism.
