The toxic obsession of Zelayonism...

Jonathan Kay is crack on with the latest in viruses...

Pity Manuel Zelaya. Not only has the leftist been turfed from Honduras's presidency, he is now apparently being hunted down by futuristic Jewish commandos.

Zelaya was thrown out of Honduras on June 28, after he tried to hold an illegal referendum. In recent days, he snuck back in, and promptly holed up in the Brazilian embassy. This is where the sinister Semites come in: According to Zelaya, his cramped quarters are under siege from "Israeli mercenaries" armed with what a Miami Herald interviewer describes as "high-frequency radiation" and "toxic gases" that "alter [Zelaya's] physical and mental state."

For their part, Israeli government sources in Miami "could not confirm" the presence of Zionist agents. But I'd say Zelaya's claim is credible: From Tegucigalpa to Toronto, there's no doubt that a lurid obsession with Israeli villainy has altered the "mental state" of many a socialist.

Indeed, this toxic obsession -- let us call it Zelayonism -- has become the leading form of psychosis on the left side of the political spectrum.
