This is the first I’ve heard of it, but here’s one of his infamous quotes:

"There is a trait in the Jewish character that does provoke animosity, maybe it’s a kind of lack of generosity towards non-Jews.

I mean, there’s always a reason why anti-anything crops up anywhere; even a stinker like Hitler didn’t just pick on them for no reason.”

His other quotes tend to be condemnation about specifically Israeli zionism and barbaric murder, but i don’t have context as to whether he’s referring to palestine or not. Some people might have more sympathy for these statements these days, but a lot of his other quotes have to do with Jews controlling money and media, less defensible prejudice.

    Sorry, I don’t get your reference.

    Do you mean he’s not racist because Jewish isn’t a race?

    In other quotes, he’s much more clear that he’s talking about Israeli people, like with zionism.

    “I’m certainly anti-Israeli and I’ve become anti-Semitic in as much as that you get a Jewish person in another country like England strongly supporting Zionism. I think they should see both sides. It’s the same old thing: we all know about Jews and the rest of it. There aren’t any non-Jewish publishers anywhere, they control the media—jolly clever thing to do—that’s why the president of the United States has to sell all this stuff to Israel.”

    It definitely seems to depend on which aspect of Jewish or Israeli culture or stereotypes he has problems with.

    For good reason of course, Jewish rights organizations talk about themselves as Jews rather than as Israelis.

    Not exactly the funnest mud puddle to skip through.
