Being an isolationist does not make one an anti-Semite, but Buchanan is an anti-Semite.
I don’t think we discuss race or anti-semitism well in this country. Does Buchanan “hate Jews” or does he just think he is analyzing things correctly and he doesn’t see that he is carried away with it?
The simple fact is that going back 40 years or so, Jewish American influence was huge in support of Israel. Buchanan didn’t like that and called it out.
Since then, as a conservative I have become even more supportive of Israel and oddly enough liberal American Jews have gone so far as to make excuses for the Palestinians and to be pacifists about Israel.
I’m not an isolationist. I think Buchanan is so one track he doesn’t see the value in fighting terrorism. Then again the neos also completely screwed that up.
