The NYT's latest Kristol embarrassment

Their newest Op-Ed writer makes yet another sloppy, factually false claim in service of his trite partisan agenda.

    This seems as relevant here as at "Are the Jews good for Obama," doesn't it?

    If the zionist right wants anti-Semitism, it explains people like electro robot.

    When I recommended M. J. Rosenberg's May 16 article, at

    http://www.ipforum.org/display.cfm?id=6&Sub=15

    which argues that the zionist right is stoking the fires of anti-Semitic hatred, I said that its author was not so wicked as to suggest they are doing it deliberately, but I remnded connoisseurs of Herzl of the infamous statement in his diaries, "Anti-Semites will become our surest friends, anti-Semitic countries our allies."

    Now there are thousands of electro robot type zionist right trolls, infesting threads like this all over the world, and they all get away with what they do, because everyone assumes that they do not in fact want to stoke the fires of anti-Semitic hatred, but are being sarcastic, in the hope of shaming anti-Semites into silence.

    However, if they genuinely desire to provoke the most extreme anti-Semitic hatred, not even as a means to expose the haters to the recriminations of their peers, or go tale-bearing about them to third parties (this would be the normal function of the provocateur) but instead they desire to provoke rabid anti-Semitic hatred as an end in itself, because it is the food or fuel of right zionism - because right zionism eats this hatred and becomes stronger - then their behaviour makes sense.
