re: #1 Buck
Compare and contrast two propositions:
1) The jews secretly run the world for their own benefit via international banks, cabals, secret control of governments, subversion of democracy etc.
2) Hard-right pro Israel advocacy and lobbying is a potent force in DC. Perhaps it is too strong.
#1 is straight-up anti-semitism. #2 is not the same as #1.
If someone says something like #2 that you disagree with, deal with the statement on its merits, rather than flogging #1 again.
