Social antisemites used to say, “Some of my best friends are Jewish”.

Beck reverses that and says, “I’m the Jews’ best friend.”

Engaging in conspiracy mongering using tropes which are historically associated with antisemitism is usually a sure sign that something afoul is afoot.

Beck, thanks for your support of Israel. However, it is not a Monopoly “get out of jail card free”.

I understand Beck isn’t given to much introspection but perhaps rather than attacking the messenger, perhaps he should reflect on the message. Besides, if I understand what Beck is implying, Israel and the Jewish people is in danger of losing his support because of the criticism of the ADL. A little thinned skin for someone who regularly attacks all manner of people.
