Criticizing Israel policies, criticizing AIPAC, agreeing with articles on reads in Tikkun or Findley’s Washington Report on Middle East Affairs, is not, in and of itself, evidence of antisemitism.

Anti-zionism is not anti-semitism. Anti-zionism that sees zionism as an expression of typical and uniquely Jewish behavior, or that opposes both pro-zionist and anti-zionist jews with equal fervor, on the other hand, IS antisemitic.

David Thomson — how many times do you have to make the exact same point, and how many times does someone need to correct you, before that person can also call you an idiot, without being considered a flamer or a troll?

For the unpteenth time, the Democratic Party is pro-Jewish and pro-Zionist. Jewish Americans fund over half of the party’s budget. 95%+ of the Democratic Members of Congress do whatever AIPAC asks it to do 95+% of the time.

And here’s Pelosi speaking to last month’s AIPAC convention in DC:

And here’s Hillary speaking at there:

Howard Dean and Harry Reid also spoke at the conference. I can’t seem to find their speeches, but suffice to say, if they said anything that Ariel Sharon wouldn’t have said himself, it would have been reported, by the “MSM”, and Roger would be discussing THAT, rather than this.

Israel has overwhelming bipartisan support in Congress, and everywhere else in Washington, save the Middle East desk at the State Department, and the homes of Findley, Buchanan, and a few others whose only trait in common is that they LACK POLITICAL POWER.

First Command sends uses former officers as its sales force. They go onto post, in their old uniforms, to pitch their shoddy wares to the troops and their families, implying that these annuities and funds are service-approved for purchase.

However, he appears to have joined up with the Pat Buchanan wing on this Israel bashing. He was a lonely party of one back in the seventies and eighties: a Republican supporting Palestinian causes. Now he can go to dinner with George Gallaway.

I would note that the GOP effectively kicked out Buchanan for his radical views. If Findley were still in elected office he would probably face the same fate.
