Yeowza!
"IMO, defending Buchanan is akin to defending Hitler"
I'll assume you're joking; otherwise that's quite absurd and insulting.
I disagree with Buchanan about Israel. I think the Palestinians are clearly to blame for the troubles there. Their institutional hatred of Israel and their refusal to accept reasonable compromise and insistence on getting all they want and of giving up nothing are probably the biggest problems.
I also think that Buchanan could criticize the neoconservatives w/o making assertions about them allegedly putting Israeli interests ahead of American ones.
But his criticism of Israel does not automatically equal some sort of animous or bigotry towards Jews. It is possible to not hold ill will towards the Jewish people and the Jewish state and still find fault with their policies. Again, I happen to think Israel is mostly in the right, so I disagree with Buchanan, but I'm not going to cast evil aspersions on him.
It is a tactic of the left to do such things.
