Finally, a voice of reason.
Too bad, the more truthful the statement, the more swift and caustic the zionist response.
As always with zionists, it doesn't matter how many people get offended by the statement, or in this case how few.
Indeed, through his admonition, Mr. Murray demonstrateed that Mr.
Scheuer is absolutely correct in his assessment of israeli influence
over the American governing elite.
At a CNAC-sponsored roundtable on April 9, Mr. Scheuer had said, "By
defining bin Laden and his ilk as would-be Islamist Hitlers, the U.S.
citizen Israel-firsters who dominate the American governing elite
ensure that those who question the nature and benefit of current U.S.-
Israel ties are slandered as pro-Nazi, anti-Semites."
The memo from CNAC, dated April 18 and intended for workshop
participants, does not mention Mr. Scheuer by name. But the memo says
that the organization invites people whom they believe to be
knowledgeable, does not review their remarks in advance, and does not
take responsibility for remarks of any speaker. In the memo, Mr. Murray
wrote that the aim of the off-the-record discussions was to promote
dialogue "on important and controversial issues."
Asked for comment, a spokesperson for CNAC told The New York Sun,
"the memo is an accurate reflection of our views on this matter."
Mr. Scheuer told the Sun that his remarks at the workshop were the
same as what he has since said at other forums. At the April workshop,
whose topic was "Islamist Aspirations for a Modern-day Caliphate," Mr. Scheuer said that "the
Israel-firsters" had used the idea of Islamofascism in 2006 "to slander
and quiet" a dean of Harvard University, Stephen Walt, and a University
of Chicago professor, John Mearsheimer.
The pair had co-authored a paper in 2006 that, as Mr. Scheuer said, "critiqued
at length the prolonged, deranging, and clearly negative impact the
Israeli lobby has had on the formulation and conduct of U.S. foreign
policy."
Mr. Scheuer, the former head of the American intelligence unit
tracking Osama bin Laden, went on to say that a professor at Johns
Hopkins University, Eliot Cohen, journalists David Gergen, Max Boot,
and others had arrogated themselves the right to decide who was
good and patriotic "among their fellow citizens based on the attitude
of individuals toward Israel."
Mr. Scheuer, the author of "Imperial Hubris: Why the West Is Losing
the War on Terror," denied his speech was anti-Semitic and said that a
complaint about it was an effort to stifle his free speech.
In 2005, the senior editor at Commentary magazine, Gabriel
Schoenfeld, sharply criticized remarks that Mr. Scheuer had made at
another think tank. At an on-the-record event at the Council on Foreign
Relations in February of that year, Mr. Scheuer had described Israel as operating in America "probably the most successful covert-action program in the history of man" and offered as an example the Holocaust Museum.
