I think the approach should come from a broad range of people, so Shamir
cannot muddy the waters by claiming it is 'the jews' who are after him. The
fact is that the zionists have been 'crying wolf' over antisemitism for so
long that some people who have not read his material will be vulnerable to
the argument that attacks on him are simply a reprise of the old zionist
chorus.
