[Senator Pardek]

I don't believe Sobran's an anti-Semite (I think the term, like "racist", is overused and at times meant to intimidate).

However, Joe is an insufferable crackpot who believes in an "international Jewish thought-control apparatus".

Anyone believing in the aforementioned is, in my book,
anti-Semitic.

No. Joe believes in the existence an American pro-Israeli thought-control apparatus. He is right. This apparatus exists. This apparatus is only a conspiracy in the original sense of the word - people who breathe together.

The apparatus gains its strength from a variety of sources. It comes from Zionist Jews. It comes from millenial Christians. Most importantly, it comes from general Western guilt over centuries of anti-semitism which culminated in the Nazi Holocaust. Interestingly, most Jews were anti-Zionists until Hitler's crimes were revealed to the world.

In this charming essay, Sobran blames "the Jews" for communism, fascism, secular humanism, the atom bomb (no, I'm not kidding) and almost every other evil in human history. If he's not an anti-Semite in the true meaning of the word, I don't know who is.
