>> He's not anti-Semitic; he's Jewish...

The history of Jewish anti-semitism goes back at least to Josephus, who sold out his fellow jews to the Romans. Karl Marx, whose early writings were filled with anti-semitic hate. Etc. Etc. (I should add, BTW, that I'm not Jewish, just a friend of Israel who's never been there.)

>> ...and is critical of some of Israel's policies.

Well, that would certainly explain his hanging out with the mass murderers of Hezbollah and fronting books on Holocaust denial.

Ah, well, that clinches it.
