Reply #63: I'm no Buchanan apologist, but...

[southlandshari]

half of the entries under the Buchanan "On Jews" section at this link relate to Israel specifically and not to the Jewish faith in general (the first two and next to last entries in particular; the last entry in the section is no worse than GWB comments on other religions - it is still reprehensible, mind you). I have plenty of Israeli friends who complain that the pro-Israel lobby in American does nothing to forward the true national interests of their country, much less their faith.

I will never endorse anti-semitism in any form (being married to a Semite myself!). But I have appreciated Buchanan's lone voice criticizing Israeli (NOT Jewish) actions that violate international law and basic human rights over the past few years.
