His last book prior to this one was also moving to the left and had a slight anti-Israel tinge. But it sounds like he’s really gone crazy with this one, so I think I’ll skip it.
While it’s true that leftists have gone mad with TDS, it’s not unique with Trump. I remember when the mild-mannered, standard RINO Bush somehow became a combination of a foaming at the mouth Hitler and an evil, all knowing Dr. Who in the minds of the left, and there was nothing too outrageous or vicious to say about him.
As for writers, they all seem to go bonkers and turn towards the paranoid left…John Le Carre and Robert Harris, for example. I have noticed that the quality of their writing declines when they do this, however, and they end up creating nothing but leftist screeds acted out by cardboard characters or even pure caricatures.
He has been very anti-Catholic for some time. I’m not a Catholic, but it makes me angry. Especially when a ‘minority’ person (I believe he switched to Judaism because of his wife, Jamie Gangel) seeks to destroy a different minority group.
I will NEVER understand Jews who seeks to destroy Israel. And not acknowledge that it is the LEFT trying to destroy Jews, themselves.
What did Robert Harris do? I have recently completed the series on Cicero. Was thinking of Pompeii. Now you are giving me pause.
