Drawing a comparison between anti-Semitic slurs from Tsarist Russia or Henry Ford's fervid ruminations, and today's analysis of the postwar world order is facile in the extreme. At the recent Jewish Leadership Conference, held in New York the day after the killings in Pittsburgh, Yoram Hazony, an Israeli philosopher whose recent book The Virtue of Nationalism defends vigorously the traditional nation-state, responded in an interview to the argument that criticism of "globalism" is anti-Semitic. "The word 'globalism,'" explained Hazony, "has been used for the last generation both in academic settings to describe a technical worldview that has nothing to do with Jews, and also in the public sphere to describe a broad political and intellectual vision that likewise has nothing to with Jews." Hazony continued: "There are always going to be bigots and haters who are twisting words and using them in all sorts of strange ways. . . . So many terms that have clear and normal meanings—and 'nationalism' and 'globalism' are just a few of them—are being interpreted as though their principal valence is about race and bigotry, that you cease to be able to have an intelligent conversation about the central ideas."
It is unsurprising that the Left has sought to tie the murderous hatred of Robert Bowers—who said explicitly that he thinks of President Trump as a "globalist" stooge of Jewish puppet-masters—to Trump's agenda of promoting American interests above a nebulous vision of global progress, because the Left is committed to pursuing that latter vision at all costs. Its hatred of Trump and his millions of deplorable supporters is so intense, and at this point so beyond reason, that it pounces on a savage act of hatred as an opportunity to score political points.

Some mask their anti-Semitism with the term ‘Neo-Con’
Leftists in particular a very confused about the term ‘globalist’, which they use as a pejorative, but not accurately. Saw a DU post recently where Trump was accused of being both a globalist and a nationalist in the same sentence, as if the two were interchangeable. lol. They have a misguided view on what a nationalist is as well, of course.
Pawns in the game, A book written in the 1950s by William Carr, describes how globalism is the objective of the satanic Elite. That is why globalism seems like a religion to them, it is.
It doesn’t help when the likes of people like Pat Buchanan make careless remarks about the Holocaust and is so biased against Israel.
Goldberg of the Atlantic implied that this morning. That whole ‘professional victim’ thing is offensive and might CAUSE people to react in a negative fashion.
I know I don’t like it. I don’t like Globalist but that has NOTHING to do with Jews. If more Jews or more Catholics etc believe something that’s NOT the measure of the issue.
Pity party politics is offensive.
Walter Cronkite espousing one world government with the USA surrender sovereignty

Every attempt by madmen in history to rule the entire world has been halted incomplete by both external alliances and internal weakness and corruption. With history as a judge, the only way to ever truly take over the entire world is to first weaken as well as consolidate what was once sovereign, autonomous rule, and only then take control.
The EU-UN-USSR. What could go wrong?
Much of this has to do with a lack of historical literacy on the part of Americans regarding the lead up to the First World War and then the movements following the Second One.
‘Nationalism’ to the extreme led to the First war. And the theory behind ‘Globalism’ is to prevent a 3rd one. World War 3. But there were many problems and blind spots as both institutions like the U.N. and E.U. were forged.
‘Zionism’ is also complicated because of the collision between politics and religion. Its adherents come from different visions and intentions. Different faiths that motivate their thinking.
Before understanding what went wrong in those globalist institutions, it’s important to understand the nationalisms amd race theories that started the First World War in the first place.
Thank you very much for this article. It would not be enough to act as an antidote for my Jewish friends who have been taken in by the poison of this idea. But it is a very good article, nonetheless.
Stop it. Such hate. Your full of sh$t. And 40 years late.
Again, I repeat: the blind spot among many Americans has to do with going further back into history and understanding what led to the *First* World War. Unpacking the fanatical nationalist and racist foundations...
Globalism started under the pretext of preventing a *Third* World War.
And as I stated earlier in the thread: Zionism and its origins is also a lot more complicated than people understand.
The globalists Walter Cronkite admired predate WWII.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Federalist_Movement
The first world federalist organization was founded in 1937 by two famous feminists, pacifists, and female suffragists: Rosika Schwimmer and Lola Maverick Lloyd. In 1938, the Federal Union was organized in the United Kingdom.[2] In the U.S., Federal Union (now: Association to Unite the Democracies) was established in 1939 calling for a federation of the Atlantic democracies. The Swiss Internationale Bewegung der Weltföderalisten-Schweiz was created in Geneva in 1940. During World War II, anti-fascist resistance movements shared clandestinely circulated copies of Altiero Spinelli’s plan for European federation and global federation. Spinelli later became one of the founding fathers of the European Union. In 1945, the Committee to Frame a World Constitution convened at the University of Chicago and drafted a Constitution for the World.[3] In 1947, five small world federalist organizations came together in Asheville, North Carolina and agreed to merge as the United World Federalists.
I back Israel 100%
“‘Nationalism’ to the extreme led to the First war.”
Not really. WWI was not caused by nations simply looking out for their own interests and dealing honestly with other nations doing the same thing. It was a European witches brew of monarchs, colonial interests, and entangling alliances. The European for secret agreement, behind hidden treaty, behind open alliance had far more to do with it. We are always presented with the false definition of nationalism that defines it as some outwardly aggressive style. Globalism is always the antidote. We were very nationalist throughout the 1700- 1800s, and were not a menace. Britain was very globalist in that time frame and was a worldwide menace.
And now the Euros are wrapping us up in the same crap they always have.
You are accepting that nationalism is some outwardly aggressive policy.
I am a “nationalist” when it comes to my family. I always put our interests first, before I do those of other families. This does not mean I wish other families ill, or will be a brute or a scoundrel when I deal with other families. We cooperate with them, we have friendly relations.
The braying globalists and diplomats always tell is nationalism = aggression. They do this to sell globalism.
Globalism is everything the dreaded “nationalism is explained to be. It needs authority FAR removed from the
population. It needs constant intervention and war.
But it is a perfect design, by and for, the bankers and leaders who brought us WWI.
Colonialism was in fact, a beta model of globalism.
Globalism is colonial mercantilism with a single power center rather than several.
It’s still euro garbage.
The Bushes are globalists. The Bushes are not Jewish. I won’t support globalism wherever I find it.
To me, globalism is begging for a one world government, which any thinking person should see is a huge mistake.
Once installed who will oppose them...space invaders?
I agree. Thank you. And that is why globalist institutions founded on the claim of preventing another World War have many failings. There are still misconceptions about what led to the first 2.
Of course my heart is in understanding the *spiritual* roots of the conflict. That is where the real answers lie...
