Does the Right Hate Israel as Much as the Left?

Michael

One of my tendencies on this blog is to focus on progressive-left anti-Semitic anti-Zionism because it has made a home for itself within progressive left venues, just the kind of venues that I used to frequent.

My major concern, which I often repeat, is not that "progressives" as a group are anti-Semitic, but that they don't get it, they don't care, and they very much want you to shut the fuck up.

My evidence for asserting that anti-Semitic anti-Zionism has made a home for itself within progressive-left venues is primarily large, well-attended progressive-left venues such as Daily Kos, the Huffington Post, and the UK Guardian. I tend to focus heavily on Daily Kos because I was a member there and because, since it has around 300,000 registered users, it represents one home for mainstream Democrats. People seeking to downplay progressive-left anti-Semitic anti-Zionism will sometimes tell me that Daily Kos is merely "fringe," but taken together with the HuffPost and the Guardian and Yale and Harvard and UPENN and many, many other universities and Israel hating NGOs, not to mention certain European governments, it is obvious that my assertion is correct.

The progressive-left is the contemporary home for anti-Semitic anti-Zionism.

I sometimes am told, however, that this is not just a "progressive" problem, but a problem on the right, as well. While it is true that the hard fringy right does contain neo-Nazis and skinheads, conservatives, since William F. Buckley, have done a good job in marginalizing such groups. While the progressive-left has embraced their anti-Semitic racists... horrendously enough in the name of "human rights"... the conservative-right has distanced themselves from their own.

This is my assertion. It is either correct or it is incorrect.

If it is incorrect I would expect that someone would be able to point to any number of mainstream, well-attended conservative journals or blogs wherein anti-Semitic anti-Zionism is a regular feature as we see on the more or less mainstream "progressive" journals listed above. That being the case I am hoping that if it is true that this problem is as much on the right as it is on the left, then someone should be able to provide some significant evidence to that effect.

Show me a large circulation, mainstream journal on the right that features the kind of Israel hatred and anti-Semitic anti-Zionism that we see on a daily basis on the left.

If I am wrong, then show me.
