Wonder if Hannity will ask his “good friend” Buchanan about this.
However, I don't think it explains Buchanan, whose anti-Israel views are nothing but a by-product of old white guy syndrome. It's inherent in a lot of aging paleocons; the others that come to mind are Joseph Sobran and Charlie Reese.
I used to mash my teeth reading Reese's columns back when he was above ground. Anti-semitism maybe an overreaction for Sobran and Buchanan (but maybe not), however I am absolutely convinced that Charlie Reese was a legitimate old-school anti-semite whose hatred of Jews caused him to cross the line and actually become a supporter of terrorism. I smiled the day he croaked.
Caspar Weinberger (Reagan's Secretary of Defense) was tarred with the same brush. In other words, in some circles, "anti-semite" (or "self-hating Jew") has come to mean anyone and everyone who deviates from the AIPAC line.
