Zizek in Tel Aviv

Slavoj Zizek was Invited by his friend Udi Aloni-who was also invited some months ago to Dor-a to a panel to comment a chapter on Ytzhak Benyamini's book "The discourse of Lacan"-. He repeated his mantra "Zionism is antisemitism". Besides of being a prete-a-porter , useful to spare him hard work on subjects he refuses to know, it is sold by the mewaper Haaretz as a sort of avant-garde. The journalist is hypnotized , seemingly, by the host. We have an encounter next month at The Third Ear for a conversation on "The Matrix". I read Zizek's comments and I found myself , not without joy, to agree this time with him. Excepting the fact that he completely ignores, as a good philosopher, the personal circumstances of Larry Wakowsky during the creation of the saga.
