Benzion Netanyahu

I am still reeling at US media obituaries of Benzion Netanyahu.  Some obituaries referred to his patron, Valdimir Jabotinsky, and to his "Iron Wall" plan, but none referred to his racism and to his inspiration by Italian fascist nationalism.  Jabontinsky, after all, was the one who said that a nation is defined by its "racial recipe".  No US newspaper referred to that.
