My point is that the neocon movement began and is still
identified as a
jewish movement. Historically it was explicitly Jewish; a
reaction to jewish
liberals. So when people talk about Wolfowitz and Pearle
there is this wink wink
nudge nudge don't you know subtext that they are jews
Maybe when *some* people talk about them. And only if they know
that history. And only if they know that Wolfowitz and Pearle are
jewish. Which, prior to this thread, I didn't. Perhaps I should
have from the names but I try not to judge people by their names...
I would have guessed that Wolfowitz is of German ancestry, and not
much more. Pearle: English, maybe? There are a few names, such as
"Goldstein" or "Cohen" that I might take for Jewish, but it wouldn't
have even the slightest effect on how I thought about them.
Of course, Zimmy might say that I'm just denying the fact that in my
inmost parts, unbeknownst even to me, I secretly want to oppress them
because of their names.
