Related: About this forum(JEWISH GROUP) Valerie Plame Can Claim Whatever She Wants, But Her Anti-Semitism Is Clear As Day
THIS IS THE JEWISH GROUP!! RESPECT!I hadnt heard the name Valerie Plame in a while. It had been years since she was outed as a CIA operative by Bob Novak resulting in her story catching fire in the press years ago, and quite frankly I had completely put her out of my memory.
---snip---
Ms. Plame tweeted out a link to an article titled Americas Jews are Driving Americas Wars.
Hell of an article to Tweet out on Rosh Hashanah, but I digress.
The articles author, Philip Giraldi, essentially argues that American Jews should not be in position to influence American foreign policy because they are somehow doing the bidding of Israel. Yes, this man is openly calling for discrimination against an entire religion.
---snip---
We dont need a war with Iran because Israel wants one and some rich and powerful American Jews are happy to deliver. Seriously, we dont need it.

Than in the back.

(3,051 posts)8. Bit off topic
But I kinda-sorta knew Novak in the 1960s. He started off a pretty standard Democrat and was very helpful with the election of JFK. Then he started to get weird, starting first with LBJ.
He was theoretically Jewish but openly mocked observant Jewish people and despised Israel.
I believe he eventually was baptized and become a hard-line Roman Catholic, but that was long after I ceased to have any interaction with him.
I will say he knew more about sports than any person I ever met.
So, anyway, I'm as reluctant to call someone a "self-loathing Jew" as I am to call anyone a Nazi, but Novak really was a self-loathing Jew.
