What disturbs me is that he doesn't really understand that he is 
anti-semitic (i.e. anti-Jew).  The example I have previously used is the 
difference between saying that Hollywood is dominated by Jews, and 
Hollywood is dominated by Leftists and Liberals.  The same could be said in 
politics.  You can be opposed to the current government policies in Israel 
without being anti-Jew.  You can even oppose Zionism without being anti-Jew 
-- there are Christian Zionists.  But, the way he discusses issues is 
anti-Jew.  I am sometimes surprised that he doesn't bring up the fact that 
the Free Masons are also involved in the vast conspiracy to rule the world 
-- or maybe he did.
