By Israel Shamir ∙ June 21, 2018
Israel Shamir was born Izrail Schmerler in Novosibirsk, Siberia, in 1947, to Jewish parents. Later on, he taught mathematics and law at Novosibirsk University. He moved to Israel in 1969, served as paratrooper in the Israel Defense Forces, and fought in the 1973 Yom Kippur War. After the war, he returned to his study of law at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, but then abandoned this in favor of a career in journalism. In 1984, Shamir left Israel and moved to Sweden, where he was naturalized in 1992. Ever since, he has been at various times a resident of Russia, Israel and Sweden. In 2004, Shamir was baptized into the Greek Orthodox Church.
Shamir’s writing focuses on the plight of the Palestinians, hence he is by necessity a devoted anti-Zionist. He has also frequently spoken out in defense of revisionism and the revisionists’ right to freedom of expression.

Breaking ranks with politically correct historiography, Professor Benjamin…
For the past few decades there has been raging a kind of subterranean debate, one of monumental importance. It is a debate about the Holocaust – not whether or not it "happened" (this is a meaningless claim), but rather, how it happened, through what means, and to what extent. On the one hand we have…

The presence of many Germans of Jewish descent in the German armed forces of the Third Reich comes as a revelation to many.
