Don't always agree with Farah, but it is my view that he hits the nail on the head in this article.

The Pales HAD a state. It was called TransJordan. They screwed it up. Pat hates Israel so much he will now sanction terror/suicide bombing as legitimate.

I had come over time to the belief that Pat Buchanen was anti-Israel and, perhaps, anti-Jew. His consistent attacks on Israel and support for anything non-Israeli had gradually convinced me that it was so.
That's why the Richard Nixon/Billy Graham revelation was SOOOO telling. The conversation has Nixon clearly being anti-Semitic. His joy at finding Graham's alignment with his views about "Jews in the media" was followed with some statement to the effect that he (Nixon) was glad to discover Graham's anti-semitism.
Buchanen was part of Nixon's staff. If Nixon was glad that an outsider aligned with his anti-semitic views, one can only suppose that Nixon specifically CHOSE his staff with their views on this subject foremost in his mind.
This is an assumption on my part. But it is an assumption that is not illogical and is based on some compelling circumstantial evidence.

I totally agree. I was right there with Pat on most issues until recently. It used to be that he was tough on Israel, but now it seems like he is pro-Palestinian. I know there are still patriots out there trying to contain the American Empire, but it is too late now. We will have to try dismantling the Empire again after this war is over. For now, the Palestinians are with the terrorists, and Israel is with us.

Pat hates Israel so much he will now sanction terror/suicide bombing as legitimate. Imagine what Pat's response would be if the US were under constant attacks from terrorists by the name of Juan, Jose and Gomez. If they were holed up in Texas or across the border in Mexico, Buchanan would not be patting them on the back telling us they have a legitimate right to express themselves with bombs.
To: 11th Earl of Mar
He has the right to be wrong even dangerously and badly wrong.Indeed, but he abuses the privilege so!!! LOL!
To: sixmil
the Palestinians are with the terrorists, and Israel is with us. bump. That is worth repeating.
To: 11th Earl of Mar
I always wondered what the issue between the Vatican and Jews was all about. It seems more and more I'm getting a better idea. Pat merely adds to that!

PJB has taken Ramsey Clark's position on Iraq as well. The man has become a traitor in his utter hatred of Israel and his desperation for media attention. Perhaps they removed some brain cells along with his gall bladder.
To: Gurn
Indeed, Pat is an anti-semite. He's a Father Coughlin without a collar, an authoritarian conservative thug. An America run along Buchanan's lines might be more pleasant in some ways -- the trains would run on time and minorities (blacks, hispanics, jews, protestants, athiests, intellectuals, etc.) would know their places -- but it would not be a free country. I have long thought that scratching Pat would find a fascist.

I was disappointed with the reports of the Pope's condemnation of Israel's fight against terror but that did not mention Arafat's suicide bombers.
To: 11th Earl of Mar
Great stuff from Joseph Farah who I see getting face time on TV these days. Pat should be kept as a columnist since he is good on so many "issues". But on the MidEast he better put on his dunce cap. Cause that's what he is even aside from his pro-Pallie slant. He tries to "understand" the Pallies way too much........
.......... while I have never seen him try to understand why Jews might feel the way they do. About the holocaust and Israel's safety for example.

In all seriousness, do you think the Pope is really calling the shots over there at the Vatican? Or, do you think the Cardinals are merely espousing all of the Pope's views?? I'm just curious! I'm deeply disappointed in the Pope, but I don't waste too much time. He's not Jesus Christ and his opinion is rather irrelevant to me as a person!

I realize the Pope is not Jesus Christ, especially since I am Protestant, not Catholic.
However, I do believe the Catholic Church is seen by many as the voice of God. It was just recently that the Pope, on behalf of the Catholic Church, "confessed" to sins associated with anti-Semitism in WWII.
I would have thought that he, or his leadership, would also use this time to support Israel and denounce terrorism. I was wrong.

Nixon also chose Leonard Garment as his White House counsel and of course Henry Kissinger.Human behavior can't be neatly pigeonholed or explained,since both were Jewish.I believe that Nixon was delusional at times and that may explain some of his statements and behavior,some of which had nothing at all to do with Jews.During his waning days in office,one of his closest spiritual advisors was the late Rabbi Baruch Korff of Providence,RI
To: steamroller
Good information. Nixon is extremely complex and how this all fits I'll leave to his biographers. However, your point about not pigeonholing him is a good caution.
I don't know how the saying goes, but it's something like: "the best indication of integrity is what a man does when no one is looking." In other words, when we think we're in secret we act like our real selves.
We see that with Nixon and Graham in that exchange.
It's Buchanen's history of statements about Israel COUPLED with Nixon's anti-semitism that has strengthened my belief that Pat is anti-semitic.
