On one hand, I feel encouraged to see this in Commentary Magazine:
One should be careful about labeling people anti-Semites. There is a difference between someone who is merely critical of Israel like Beinart and, for example, liberal church groups that seek to promote BDS measures or to cut off military aid to the Jewish state and make common ground with open Jew-haters to promote this cause. Unfortunately that is a distinction that liberals like Beinart are prepared to ignore in order to score bogus political points against easy targets like Murdoch.
I think it is good that someone posted that little bit of clear thinking. However….
On the other hand
I seem to remember that this Magazine really let Ron Paul have it in a big way once. I wrote this once:
Update #3: Like clockwork, the mouthpiece of the biggest and most protected minority spews forth their bile towards Ron Paul. Question: What if someone, like me; spewed forth that sort of hate towards a Jewish Senator? I think you know the answer to that one.
I stand by that statement. The problem is that some of Commentary’s writers equate criticisms of Israel, The Likud Party, and Wilsonian Foreign Policy to be on par with Jewish hatred and support of the Holocaust and of Nazi Germany. It is an utterly bogus accusation and it is sad thing, when American Jews resort to such tactics. Furthermore, I find it very ironic that Commentary will bend over backwards to defend Murdoch, but they have no problem smearing Ron Paul. if Commentary Magazine is going to defend Rupert Murdoch from such accusations, they should not be so quick to toss them out against WASP’s like Ron Paul and myself and they should fire those who do.
I have been consistent in my feelings towards Wilsonian foreign policy, I reject it and I feel it is not good policy for America. I should not, neither should anyone else, like this guy here; be subjected to accusations of Antisemitism. Of course, like many others; because I am an American Nationalist, I have been called an anti-Semite, by fat broads, who work for Femi-Nazi, affirmative action Conservatives; and many other things too — including a racist. Which I find to be absolutely amusing. I am not a racist or an anti-Semite. I just do not kiss anyone’s Black, Latino, or Jewish ass. I hate to put it that way, but it is the truth about me.
This why reform is needed in this conservative movement once and for all. This people who engage in these sort of leftist tactics need to be exposed and thrown out of our party, once and for all — Especially in this blogosphere.
Also too, yes, I know what I wrote here. Yes, Ron Paul’s associations are troubling. However, I do not believe that Ron Paul himself ought to be treated the way that he is, by the Jewish right. Because condemning someone, for who they are associated with, is a tactic of the Frankfurt School of the political correctness; which is an institute of the left. Too bad that people like commentary magazine, and some in the Political Conservative Blogosphere — are simply continuing in that practice, supposedly after leaving the left.
Just my opinion.
