Eh
I think Cliff was an anti Stalinist and a supporter of the great Jewish and Russian reviolutionary Leon Trotsky who warned in his own writings of the dangers of Zionism.

Trotsky was murdered in 1940 on the orders of Stalin and around 20 of his family were either murdered,executed or imprisoned by Stalin.

Cliff is an important commentator on Zionism in that he was born in Palestine in a zionist family and saw at first hand the ill treatment and thuggery meted out quite casually to arab workmen by Zionist goons.When he complained as a teenager about this thuggery he was beaten up and threatened .

Apparently he was highly amused at being called a self hating Jew.
" Me he would say ...I am Jewish but I love myself!" Cliff was only a small man in stature but a great anti racist and socialist.

He helped found the Anti nazi League In Britain in 1978 which smashed the then growing Nazi National Front. For some reason the Zionists hate him!
