Jewish neocons go to war

Who said? In the course of the past year, a new belief has emerged in the town [Washington DC]: the belief in war against Iraq. That ardent faith was disseminated by a small group of 25 or 30 neoconservatives, almost all of them Jewish, almost all of them intellectuals (a partial list: Richard Perle, Paul Wolfowitz, Douglas Feith, William Kristol, Eliot Abrams, Charles Krauthammer), people who are mutual friends and cultivate one another and are convinced that political ideas are a major driving force of history. Pat Buchanan? No. This observation's from Ha'aretz, the liberal Israeli newspaper. Which goes to show: where anti-semitism is concerned, like Jewish jokes, it's less the content of the words that matters, and more the credentials of the speaker.
White man's burden [Ha'aretz]
