People are still buzzing about Joe Klein’s statement that the Iraq-war-sponsoring neocons suffered from dual loyalty. I hope Klein is mainstreaming the issue. I’d point out as I have before that several writers have brought up dual loyalty and Israel, notably John Judis of the New Republic. A year ago he wrote this important piece largely defending Walt and Mearsheimer and raising an issue they refuse to touch, dual loyalty.
[Jewish leaders] want to demand of American Jewish intellectuals a certain loyalty
to Israel, Israeli policies, and to Zionism as part of their being
Jewish. They make dual loyalty an inescapable part of being Jewish in a
world in which a Jewish state exists.
And that’s probably the case.
Many Jews now suffer from dual loyalty–the same way that
Cuban-Americans or Mexican-Americans do. By ignoring this dilemma–and,
worse still, by charging those who acknowledge its existence with
anti-Semitism–the critics of the new anti-Semitism are engaged in a
flight from their own political selves. They are guilty of a certain
kind of bad faith.
My link is to the Carnegie site; Judis is a fellow there. You can’t find Judis’s piece on the New Republic site, where it appeared. Here’s the error message on my old link. Two months back I asked Judis whether TNR is censoring the piece.
I suspect it has to do with Canadian computer malfeasance, not with
Mideastern politics. About six months ago, Canwest, which now owns us,
incorporated our web site into their general technical operation, and
in the process screwed up the archives for everything that had appeared
before on the web, including the articles from the magazine itself. It
is supposed to be fixed soon.
You still can’t find the piece; and TNR’s site says it hasn’t worked out the glitches. You’d think they’d be bragging about the scoop.
Canwest, of course, is run by the ardently
Zionist Aspers, who have little tolerance
for dissent on matters relating to Israel
and Jewry. When it comes to freedom
of the press, Canada is truly a lamentable
country.

Former U.S. diplomat gets year in prison for anti-Arab remarks
By Reuters
Tags: James Zogby, Patrick Syrick
A retired U.S. diplomat was sentenced on Friday to one year in prison and fined $10,000 for sending racist, threatening messages to an Arab-American group, the Justice Department said.
The diplomat, Patrick Syring of Arlington, Virginia, sent abusive and intimidating e-mails and voice mails to employees of the Arab American Institute, a Washington group.
John McCain and Barack Obama will both pander to the National Council of La Raza on Saturday. Michelle Malkin lists NCLR's 15-point agenda, and says:
Only in America could critics of a group called "The Race" be labeled racists. Such is the triumph of left-wing identity chauvinists, whose aggressive activists and supine abettors have succeeded in redefining all opposition as "hate."
CanWest is owned by the Alpers, the numero uno Zionists in Canada, and I have it first hand that their editors and reporters are not allowed to criticize Israel.
In PRAISE of dual loyalty (or more):
"To be a patriot means to recognize that we are members of a particular culture and society, but so are ALL others. It is to acknowledge that their kinship and bonds – their sacred places – are as important to them as ours are to us. Love of country, yes. But we carry two passports: one stamped the United States of America, the other as a citizen of the world at large."
Bill Moyers – Speech to the 25th anniversay of the Peace Corps (which he was the original associate director when founded in 1961)
May I NEVER be singly loyal!!!
Reading the comments on Time, where most people simply pretend they have not read about dual loyalties, I was reminded of this comment by Peters:
"i was trying to explain this (toxic zionist) infection to a friend, obamamaniac, who did not want to hear it. she has degrees from stanford and harvard if that means anything. i asked her why not, since she is interested in politics. she said it was like poverty. no one wants to talk of poverty either. it is too global, too overwhelming.
would someone give me a response to this comment of a smart person? is it an excuse? is it true? it's just too overwhelming and we are powerless so why even know about it?"
"May I NEVER be singly loyal!!!"
But you already are–to Israel.
"But we carry two passports: one stamped the United States of America, the other as a citizen of the world at large."
What government issues that world citizen passport?
Who stamps it? What is its mark?
New definition of American citizenship:
All rights and privileges; no duties or responsibilities.
Ask not what you can do for your country, but what your country can do for you. I pledge allegiance to K Street.
.
"May I NEVER be singly loyal!!!" well me too o witty one, but does your deranged intellect percieve some connection between loyalty to humanity and loyalty to judeofacism?
Just heard Dennis Praeger on talk radio dissing the univeral humanists; he's a hard right winger on Israel; be interesting to hear the talmudic back and forth between Dennis and Richard Wittty, both with the same goal but different "styles" aka slants towards the same end.
'I suspect it has to do with Canadian computer malfeasance, not with Mideastern politics.'
Bullshit.
Go here for the awful truth about the Aspers and CanWest:

It doesn't matter whether TNR or CanWest spiked it. They're both Lobby. It's not a glitch, it's censorship.
