Dennis Ross, President Clinton's Middle East envoy: "It is basically a series of assertions. They quote only those people who basically have this point of view and don't take a serious look at anything in a more profound way. It is masquerading as scholarship."

People who post David Duke responses to anything are, in reality, pretty slovenly in their research.

[edit] Praise from David Duke and response
Former Louisiana State Representative and former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke "devoted his entire half-hour Internet radio broadcast on March 18 [2006] to the paper."[12][13][14][15] On March 21, 2006, Duke praised the paper on MSNBC's Scarborough Country program.[16] Duke has stated he is "surprised how excellent [the paper] is" and claimed his views had been "vindicated" by its publication. According to Duke, "the task before us is to wrest control of America's foreign policy and critical junctures of media from the Jewish extremist Neocons".[17] In response, Walt stated "I have always found Mr. Duke's views reprehensible, and I am sorry he sees this article as consistent with his view of the world".[17]
Mary-Kay Wilmers, the editor of the London Review of Books which published a version of the paper, said: "I don't want David Duke to endorse the article. It makes me feel uncomfortable. But when I re-read the piece, I did not see anything that I felt should not have been said. Maybe it is because I am Jewish, but I think I am very alert to anti-Semitism. And I do not think that criticising US foreign policy, or Israel's way of going about influencing it, is anti-Semitic. I just don't see it."[18]
Juan Cole, a historian at the University of Michigan writing in Salon.com in support of the paper, characterises the association of the paper with Duke made in the New York Sun and elsewhere as "guilt by association". [19]

Of course your reaction has been dealt with very well by
The Politics of Anti-Semitism, personally I find your whimpering cry of Anti-Semitism by implication rather pathetic.
