Entry: James Kirchick Proves my Point Link: http://www.takimag.com/sniperstower/article/james_kirchick_proves_my_point#28957 Post contents: I recently came across the term "political Islam" and googled it to see how many results would come back: 597,000. After reading this post and the first two comments, I googled the term "political Judaism": 1,160 results. I would consider Pat Buchanan an anti-Semite if one includes political Judaism as part and parcel of Judaism (and would put myself in the same category). On the other hand, if one distinguishes individual Jews from political Judaism and defines anti-Semitism as racism against those of Jewish blood, Buchanan (and myself) are most definitely NOT anti-Semitic. No wonder the Neocons and Neolibs have studiously attempted (largely successfully) to conflate political Judaism with religious and ethnic Judaism: it allows them to categorize those opposed to a large component of their agenda as "anti-Semites." What is political Islam? The imposition of Sharia, for example. What is "political Judaism"? It is the Jewish equivelent of "political Islam" and would include such concepts as the imposition of Zionism towards a goal of Noahidism. What is "political Christianity"? Western civilization.
