Israel Shamir is a right wing antisemite and antizionist. It was no surprise to see Shamir being quoted in support of President Ahmadinejad's Holocaust denial conference as Shamir has often indulged in conspiracy theories , blood libels and other antisemitic themes.

UPDATE: read David T on Tikkun's response to a correspondent and occasional commenter at Engage, Karl Pfeifer, who was critical of Tikkun's inclusion of Shamir.
