Glenn Greenwald is Hysterical

20 Feb 2009 11:59 am

Not funny-hysterical, just hysterical. I think he feels badly about writing for The American Conservative, maybe because he knows that writing for a magazine founded by Pat Buchanan and animated by Buchanan’s hostility to Jews and to Israel is a self-marginalizing act for any Jewish person trying to convince other Jews to leave Team AIPAC and support J Street. I don’t read Greenwald very much — only when Andrew links to him — but his characterization of my politics means that he’s either dishonest or ignorant. If he hasn’t read what I’ve written about, say, the settlements, or about AIPAC, then he’s not qualified to comment on my politics. If he has read these articles, then he knows that I’m not a revanchist Zionist, but falsely accuses me of being one anyway. What a putz.
