The Try-Works

So, I’m reading Philip Roth’s Counterlife, a damn fine book about, as you probably guessed, alternative lives.  It’s a lot of fucking fun, both as a novel and a meditation on the possibilities and limitations of personal, religious, and national regeneration — whether as a result of our own volition or our author’s whim.

And, in one of the many scenes that gets replicated to counter purposes, I came across the following line, as given us by an insane literary fan of the protagonist, who is pretending to highjack a plane with the intent of closing down all holocaust museums, believing (or pretending to believe) that it is because the gentiles always see Jews as judging them for the holocaust that they will eventually destroy them (clear?).

Israel is their prosecutor. The Jew is their judge.  In his heart, every Goy knows, because every Goy, in his heart, is a little Eichmann.

Any Zerzan fans out there?  When did he first use the term?

Just geekish curiousity.
