Naeim Giladi, another disillusioned critical Jew like Finkelstein

clipped from en.wikipedia.org Naeim Giladi was born in Iraq in 1929 to an Iraqi Jewish family and later lived in Israel and the United States. He is an Anti-Zionist, and author his originally self-published book Ben Gurion's Scandals: How the Haganah and the Mossad Eliminated Jews. He says he was assigned the task of procuring the signatures of the Palestinian inhabitants of al-Mejdil on a set of government forms that stated that they were willingly giving up their lands to go to Gaza, at the time under Egyptian occupation. He writes that he, "was disillusioned personally, disillusioned at the institutionalized racism, disillusioned at what I was beginning to learn about Zionism's cruelties. The principal interest Israel had in Jews from Islamic countries was as a supply of cheap labor, especially for the farm work that was beneath the urbanized Eastern European Jews. Ben Gurion needed the "Oriental" Jews to farm the thousands of acres of land left by Palestinians who were driven out by Israeli forces in 1948"
