I don't know why you addressed this to me. I said I do not agree with Buchanan's isolationism and I do not see American policy toward Israel as the horrible death of us all that he does. But I do think he's quite right about the immigration problem (though I don't think we have enough culture left to assimilate anyway, so holding out the possibility of assimilation after the borders are closed doesn't make me very optimistic)--I like some of what Buchanan says and disagree with some. So why are you taking out after me?

I did not know that posting an article was "taking out after" you. I thought I was politely addressing this point of yours:

"but really, Buchanan's quarrel with Israel has to do with Israel's policies and the US policy toward Israel, not with Jews per se. Yes, of course, he believes that leading Jews in the United States have had undue influence and that's why we have a bad Israel policy--but again, is that truly anti-semitic?"

My answer, given by Mr Auster in the article I posted, was yes.

I am saddened by this because on some level I like Buchanan and admire his intellect.
