Other than a naive assessment of Israel, which sounds an awful lot like the mainstream journalism of most of Europe, where is the smoking gun in the article above? The fact that a neo-Nazi group liked it? They'd presumably like anything critical of Israel. Why should that be a surprise? Is there some damning quote in the article itself you'd like to point out?

Sobran, Charley Reese, and Pat Buchanan are all anti-Israel, and essentially all offer the same line of reasoning. I happen to think they're wrong - in some cases dazzlingly wrong. But I don't think that makes any of them anti-Semites. Their criticism is almost entirely geo-political and semi-isolationist, but it's not racial. If they truly are bigots, a bit more evidence is needed.

See the paragraph I quoted in post #20. Calling a group "plague carriers" is not making a geo-political statement about Israel. He is saying that Jews are corrupting our culture, and that is a racial smear.

See the passage referred to by me, above, and by Steve_Seattle in #20. As Steve points out, it's just a rehash of the old "dirty Jew" smear.

Go to his site and search for the word "Talmud".
He regurgitatesw Medieval lies about Jewish texts.
He sees a conspiracy of Jewish power, hates only one nationalism (Zionism), and spreads lies about Judaism.
He hates Jews. There is no denying it.

What would you say, if Buchanan denied the Holocaust ever happened?
