One should not forget the phenomenon of Jewish Self-Hatred, in understanding Thomas Friedman (nominally Jewish), the editorial policies of the New York Times (owned by nominal Jews), and the behavior of many nominally Jewish liberals and leftists who disparage or condemn Israel.

In its most extreme manifestations such individuals actively work to undermine Israel or like Noam Chomsky may even qualify as out and out antisemites. (Many non-Jews, as well as Jews seem completely clueless about Jewish Self-Hatred.)

Jewish self-hatred also needs to be taken into account to understand the behaviors of much of the 'leadership' of successive Israeli governments and of a large portion of Israeli academic and media leftists.

Many years ago psychologist Kurt Lewin described Jewish self-hatred thusly:

"...both a group phenomenon and an individual phenomenon...the self-hatred of a Jew may be directed against the Jews, against his own family, or against himself. It may be directed against Jewish institutions, Jewish mannerisms, Jewish language, or Jewish ideals...the most dangerous forms, are a kind of indirect undercover self-hatred...In most cases, expressions of hatred of the Jew against his fellow Jew or against himself as a Jew is more subtle."

As Janice L. Booker wrote in her book The Jewish American Princess and Other Myths: The Many Faces of Self-Hatred:
"Anti-Semitism is not relegated to non-Jews. Jews, too, can be anti-Semitic, and when they are, what surfaces is a latent insecurity that arises from the humiliation of centuries of oppression. "
