It's true that many neoconservatives are Jewish (Irving Kristol, Richard Perle, Paul Wolfowitz, Douglas Feith, David Wurmser, Elliot Abrams....
Yet neoconservatives Cheney, Rumsfield, Libby, John Bolton are * not* Jewish. I'm not sure what religion they are, but there are sure a lot of Christian voters who have been snookered by them. Here's hoping that doesn't happen again tomorrow.
So I can object to neoconservatism without being called an antisemite, can't I?
77 percent of Jews voted for Kerry in the last election. There's probably at least a couple in that group who would rant against neoconservatives.
You wouldn't call THEM antiSemites, would you?
I bet the late Senator of Minnesota, Paul Wellstone, wouldn't call me an antiSemite for expressing these views. He was a Jew, and one of the VERY few Senators who had the guts to stand up to Bush and say "No" to the war in Iraq.
Are YOU a Jew who is disgusted with neoconservatism, too?
If so, I'd like to hear from you

The Neoconservative are those that used to be liberal or even Trotskyite communists. Many of these were anti war when we were fighting communism in Vietnam. It should be noted that Communism was a Jewish idea and most of the leadership of the communist party in the former Soviet Union was Jewish. Nearly every caught spying on the US was an ethnic Jew regardless for whom they were spying. Now that we are in a war for which Israel is the primary beneficiary, these former anti war liberals are Neocon hawks.

The term "Semite" includes Arabs, Egyptians and others, not just the Jews. The Neocons are the most antisemitic group in the country aside from the KKK.

The only "out-of-the-closet" anti-semites that I know of are "King Louey" Farakhan, and his group !! Don't think they're "Neo-cons".
