My guess - both.
None of this is written in defense of Hamas, Hezbollah or Iran.No, it's written out of anti-Semitic hate. The defence of Hamas, Hezbollah and Iran is collateral.

On an interview on Scarborough Country, Buchanan said "What has Hezbollah and Hamas done to the United States of America? "
As FReeper Enchante pointed out, they've done quite a bit.
Not our war? Sorry, but Pat has already joined the war. Too bad he's fighting for the Islamofascists.
That was a long time ago.
Buchanan has been writing and saying things like this for many years now. Why does it surprise you when he just does the same again he's been doing?
Buchanan has been on the dark side for a long time. However, he does serve a purpose. Israelis thought their unilateral surrender and appeasement in Gaza and Lebanon would win them kudos from scum like Buchanan. Yet when they are attacked and respond it is still the same old bs about Israeli aggression. Buchanan is as low as they come.
I am sorry for the Lebanese people but it seems to be turning out that they are harboring terrorists. They evidently are on the terrorists side now that the shooting has started in earnest. So there it is. It's war. The terrorists are deliberately firing on Jewish civilians. Let the Lebanese people chew on that for a while.
News flash to the civilian Lebanese: Hezbolla is trying to kill civilian Jews!!! They don't want to die any more than you do. What are they supposed to do? Die so you can live. Why don't you die so they can live!!
Buchanan has ALWAYS been on the dark side. He just fooled some of the people all of the time and all of the people some of the time. Too think, I actually , at one time, respected this idiot.
Further proof that Nazis and Islamo-Fascists are natural allies.
William F. Buckley, Jr. was right a long time ago about both Buchanan and Sobran. I was skeptical at first, but I have noticed an undeniable trend since his public break with Pat and Joe. Listen to them long enough -- on any topic -- and the conversation inevitably comes around to the Jooos. Jooos who control Bush. Jooos who control US foreign policy. Jooos who control all the money. Jooos who control this and that. It is the same with their followers. If they were right, the all-powerful Jooos wouldn't be fighting for their homeland.
The first signal these people emit is heavy use of the words "neoconservative" or the more derisive "neocon," which are codewords for Jooo. They have learned to target token gentiles and to ally with a handful of self-loathing Jews for cover, but the objects of their venom are overwhelmingly Jooos. In the world of Buchanan and Sobran, America would have had no beef with Hitler. His latest argument that we have no argument with Hizb'Allah fits the same pattern. Pat Buchanan is consumed by his hatred of Jews.
Pat Buchanan's behavior is disreputable, and he should be shunned by polite society.
Once you realize that Pat is an egotistical isolationist bigot then you begin to understand Buchanan.
Buchanan is a cottage industry now.
The left mediia use him in tandem with a liberal for balance. Doesn't work. The media know it's getting a twofer.
I think you are right about Buchanan having too narrow a conception on religion. But I am also beginning to think that he really is anti-Semitic. I used to like Buchanan. I even voted for him in the primaries in 1992. But he's really changed. It's a shame.
If Buchanan was a raging anti-Semite and Israel hater, don't you think his articles would have been banned from FR?
Poor Pat. He's sounding like the 1930s fascist appeasers.
