All sides of this argument seem to slide too easily between the concepts of Jewish, Israeli, Zionist, pro- or anti- this or that, especially when we get down to who is talking to/advising/quoting whom. These slides occur because so many bigots attempt to use respectable points of view to hide behind. It becomes difficult to unravel who are the loyal opposition and who are wolves in sheep’s clothing. We are not entirely deprived of evidence to go by, however. What people actually do is the best measure; what they gratuitously add in that was unnecessary to making their point is a lesser, but also illuminating measure. McPeak: New York…Miami…cosmopolitan…politicians won’t run against them… Sorry Tony. Dead giveaway.
Dr. Wright: Using “Italian” instead of Roman – Italy is a new country, after all…and that garlic reference…plus avoiding saying that Jesus was Jewish by using “Galilean.” Sorry Jeremiah. Dead giveaway. The question is not whether Obama is himself anti-semitic, but that he can’t read the obvious tells of the people around him.
