The Chomsky/Blankfort Polemic
"The anti-war movement has failed"

Silvia Cattori interviews Jeffrey Blankfort in this reprint of the Feb. 23, 2006 issue of Voltairenet.org. Mr. Blankfort is a US journalist and radio producer.

... all Americans pay their taxes and thus support Israel. And this is an American issue. And by putting it out that Jews are the leaders, that Jews, anti Zionists Jews are doing this, what it says to non-Jews is: “they can do this [criticize] because they are Jewish”. It has been tried, so far it has been a failure.

So when I speak, I speak not as a Jew, but as a human being.
