T
he Dec. 30 issue of Na-
tional Review was
fattened by a
40,000-word essay by right-
wing guru William F.
.Buckley on anti-Semitism.
Among his targets were cur-
rent GOP presidential can-
didate Pat Buchanan,
writer/essayist Gore Vidal,
and National Review colum-
nist Joe Sobran.
The March 16 issue of Na-
tional Review is also plenty
fat. This time, the magazine
is pumped up by a 32-page
special section devoted to
letters and assorted com-
ments about Mr. Buckley's
essay. Some selections:
• "Once again, you dem-
onstrated the Right can look
at itself honestly and even-
handedly — something the
other side has yet to do.
Superb job."
— Jeff Nelligan,
speechwriter, Agency for
Internal Development
• "I (selectively criticize
Israel) because I consider it
part of the political and
moral community in which I
live . . . (and whose) survival
and success . . . is by no
means assured. One reason
for that is its amply demon-
strated tendency toward
abandonment of its own
standards and hence toward
suicidal conduct . . . I don't
often write columns deplor-
ing the failure of Syria or
Sudan or Burma or China to
meet Western standards of
behavior because I don't ex-
pect much of their political
conduct to begin with."
— William Pfaff, syn-
dicated columnist
• "Bill's essay has per-
suaded me that I have been
too complacent. Some mon-
ths ago, the New Republic
sent around a questionnaire
asking . . . whether Pat
Buchanan's columns were
anti-Semitic . . . I said that I
did not believe Buchanan .. .
was personally or politically
anti-Semitic, but rather had
allowed his irritation with
. . . (most Jews' liberalism) to
spill over into remarks that,
if uttered by someone else,
would easily be taken to be
anti-Semitic. I would now
revise that judgment."
— Irving Kristol, Wall
Street Journal columnist.
"The conservative reaction
to the piece was overwhelm-
ingly negative: 'Why did Bill
write it?'and 'What does he
think he's ac-
complishing?'. "
— Joseph Sobran
Rosenthal vs. Evans
And Novak Again
New York Times columnist
A.M. Rosenthal continues
his investigation of syn-
dicated columnists Roland
Evans and Robert Novak.
Last November, he accus-
ed the Washington-based
pair of falsely claiming that
Israel had deliberately at-
tacked the U.S.S. Liberty
during the 1967 Six Day
War. Now, Mr. Rosenthal
writes that Evans and
Novak again erred by
stating last week that Israel
was negotiating to sell
China a missile that con-
tained hardware that Israel
had pledged to the U.S. it
would neither sell nor give
to another country.
The columnists charged
that an Israeli-made air-to-
surface missile, the STAR,
contained "priceless high
technology" that the United
States had used during the
Gulf War in a missile called
the HAVE NAP.
But Mr. Rosenthal reports
that the HAVE NAP missile
is based on Israeli
technology that had "so im-
pressed" the U.S. military
that it "bought it off the
shelf" from Israel. He claims
that the "frankly anti-
Israel" Evans and Novak
"tried their best to show
Israeli duplicity about
HAVE NAP, but failed."
The Evans and Novak
column, wrote Mr. Rosen-
thal, illustrated "the
relentless effort by the anti-
Israeli hard corps in Ameri-
can diplomacy and intel-
ligence to destroy what's left
of the U.S.-Israeli alliance
. Washington journalists
fail to check up on these
stories when they appear in
columns written by their
buddies, however biased said
buddies are known to be."
William Safire wielded
his celebrated wit: ".
Old reliable Evans and
Novak had Israel abandon-
ing America for China.
(Don't Jews like Chinese
food?)"
