Her point that certain conservatives have come to admire Islamist attacks on Western decadence and that this has caused them to assume dhimmi status is troubling.
In 2001, I chose not to make this claim, because Buchanan was consistent in opposing foreign aid.

Sad to say it, but Buchanan has gone over the edge IMO.
There's been some hype over the years, some of it valid and much of it not.
There's just no excuse for his latest proclivities. Sorry Pat, you left me in the dust fella.

Hopefully, he won't reach Sobran-like symptoms of under or over medication.

A "dike" is a ditch.
A "dyke" is a small levee or dam.

People have tried to point out to Miss. Mercer that Buchanan is anti-Semitic and she ignored it. Is she suprised by Pat Buchanan's attitude? She is a very poor judge of character.
And what is a pro Israeli person doing writing for Antiwar.com anyway? Can any decent person write for that website?

I know that a lot of FReepers have contempt for Pat, and the recent blatant display of hypocrisy in his columns certainly justifies some of that.

Buchanan can't even make the claim to be a realist. He is beginning to sound like one of the "striped pants boys" at the State Department circa 1925.

To: rmlew
this author uses slimeball distortions. Example:
"In a positively bacchanalian column, Buchanan exalts Hamas for its "sacrifice" and dedication, and mocks Israel for being "close to hysterical" over the outcome"
What Buchanan said in the article:
"What will Hamas do? Hamas will accept the cut-off of aid, seek money from the Saudis and Iranians, do their best to keep the Palestinian people fed, clothed, housed and educated, and sacrifice for their people. "
"Understandably, the Israelis are close to hysterical over the landslide for Hamas "
Buchanan did not exalt Hamas for their sacrifice. He did not mock Israelis for being hysterical.

"this author uses slimeball distortions."
Well, we all know that if you disagree with Pat Buchanan it is perfectly acceptable to smear him. And if you agree with him on any topic, you should be tarred and feathered. /sarc

You forgot the next sentence:
But that is not in our interests. It is not even in Israel's interest. For it has been Israel's behavior, and uncritical U.S. support for that behavior, that produced this victory for Hamas. To continue on that road is to arrive at, literally, a dead end.
He is mocking Israel's fears in an "I told you so".
Of course, Israel did not want Hamas to be in the elections and did not want Jerusalemite Arabs to vote in it. The US pushed Israel into accepting these.
Of course, Pat can't see teh US bullying Israel into suicidal behavior. That might undermine his biases.

"Understandably, the Israelis are close to hysterical over the landslide for Hamas and are on a diplomatic campaign to have all donors end all aid to a Palestinian Authority dominated by Hamas.But that is not in our interests. It is not even in Israel's interest. For it has been Israel's behavior, and uncritical U.S. support for that behavior, that produced this victory for Hamas."
Mock 1. To treat with ridicule or contempt
its a gross exaggeration to claim that Buchanan was treating anyone with ridicule or contempt in the above quote.
