Pat Buchanan stands up for Obama against that mean Netanyahu

Wonder if Hannity will ask his “good friend” Buchanan about this.

I like your summation of the spectrum of thought regarding our political relationship with Israel. I think it may be on point.

However, I don't think it explains Buchanan, whose anti-Israel views are nothing but a by-product of old white guy syndrome. It's inherent in a lot of aging paleocons; the others that come to mind are Joseph Sobran and Charlie Reese.

I used to mash my teeth reading Reese's columns back when he was above ground. Anti-semitism maybe an overreaction for Sobran and Buchanan (but maybe not), however I am absolutely convinced that Charlie Reese was a legitimate old-school anti-semite whose hatred of Jews caused him to cross the line and actually become a supporter of terrorism. I smiled the day he croaked.

The foreign policy realists, such as James Baker or Brent Scowcroft, are also often called anti-semites. Another of the realists, Henry Kissinger, because he is Jew, is called a self loathing Jew

Caspar Weinberger (Reagan's Secretary of Defense) was tarred with the same brush. In other words, in some circles, "anti-semite" (or "self-hating Jew") has come to mean anyone and everyone who deviates from the AIPAC line.
