Ralph Nader's Anti-Semitism

John-Paul Pagano writes on Ralph Nader and the New Anti-Semitism:

In the month of June, Mr. Nader granted interviews to the United Arab Emirates' al-Khaleej newspaper, which in recent years distinguished itself by defending Holocaust denier Roger Garaudy, and to Pat Buchanan's American Conservative magazine. Buchanan has referred to Congress as "Israeli-occupied territory", described ex-Nazi John Demjanjuk as a modern-day Dreyfus, and praised Hitler as "an individual of great courage".

In both of these interviews, Mr. Nader referred to White House officials and Congressmen as "puppets" of the Israeli government. In one, he said the Israelis "control" and "coerce" American officials, shaking them down for money and arms.
