Not WND, Pat Buchanan. And not Anti-Semitic, Anti-Zionist. You have to be careful with the labels. Iran was the original Aryan country according to historians. From Wiki: The term Aryan originates from the Sanskrit word ārya, in origin an ethnic self-designation, in Classical Sanskrit meaning "honourable, respectable, noble".[3][4] In the 18th century, the most ancient known Indo-European languages were those of the Indo-Iranians' ancestors. The word Aryan was therefore adopted to refer not only to the Indo-Iranian people, but also to native Indo-European speakers as a whole, including the Greeks, Latins, and Germans. It was soon recognised that Armenians, Balts, Celts, Albanians and Slavs also belonged to the same group. It was argued that all of these languages originated from a common root—now known as Proto-Indo-European—spoken by an ancient people. The ethnic group composed of the Proto-Indo-Europeans and their modern descendants was termed the "Aryans". All you have to do is go back to Pat's columns over the years; his writings have been lukewarm at best on the U.S.-Israeli relationship.

re: “Not WND, Pat Buchanan. And not Anti-Semitic, Anti-Zionist.”

It’s not clear to me how much your distinctions matter.
WND publishes his stuff.

And the Jewish/ Semitic/ Zionist supposed differences mean nothing in our day. The Zionist ‘movement’ is bankrupt.
Israel is the Jewish nation, although there are non-Jews living there as citizens, someone who is anti Israel is anti Jewish. (not anti-’someone living between x latitude and y longitude.)
