Yes, It's Anti-Semitic
The Washington Post ^ | Wednesday, April 5, 2006; Page A23 | By Eliot A. Cohen

Academic papers posted on a Harvard Web site don't normally attract enthusiastic praise from prominent white supremacists. But John Mearsheimer and Stephen Walt's "The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy" has won David Duke's endorsement as "a modern Declaration of American Independence" and a vindication of the ex-Klansman's earlier work, presumably including his pathbreaking book, "Jewish Supremacism."

Walt and Mearsheimer contend that American national security dictates distancing ourselves from the state of Israel; that U.S. support for Israel has led to such disasters as America's status as the No. 1 target for Islamic terrorists; and that such an otherwise inexplicable departure from good sense can be accounted for only by the power of "The Lobby" (their capitalization), an overwhelmingly Jewish force abetted by some Christian evangelicals and a gentile neocon collaborator or two, who have hijacked American foreign policy and controlled it for decades.

One of Mearsheimer's University of Chicago colleagues has characterized this as "piss-poor, monocausal social science." -----------------break--------

You can be both Jewish and American. Forget the hyphenation, not your faith. Why should any American, Christian, Jew or whatever, have to forget their faith in a land that was built by those seeking freedom from religious persecution?

Frank Rich obviously thinks Saddam Hussein was good for the Jews.

Does anybody else think the now-banned hermann's real name might be Joe Sobran?

I know something about the late, lamented Hermann and he and Joe Sobran are not a unity.
