Hitchens is an excellent journalist out of the UK.
The man he is taking apart is a bit of a mystery. Ben Judah is his name. Of course he’s Jewish. He is apparently an American writer currently operating out of London. He is a professional Russia-hater, having written a frothing book or two of rapid Russophobic nonsense. For such infamous deeds, the West actually makes you famous.
He writes for Newsweek, but that means nothing much, except that he is Establishment all the way. I found him as a regular commenter on a site called Open Democracy, possibly out of the UK. It seems to be the voice of either the left wing of the Labor Party or the left wing of the US Democratic Party, take your pick. In other words, Judah is another liberal Jew. What is odd is how crazy he is. He is a ranting, raving, menacing foghorn for US and NATO imperialism. In his column, he pretty much calls for NATO to declare war on Russia.
I have no idea what motivates him. Perhaps he is a Russian Jew or related to them. The Russian Jews are some of the worst Jews of them all and they always have been. Whether their terrible behavior is a reaction to Russian anti-Semitism or whether Russian anti-Semitism is a reaction to them is not known as such things are hard to untangle.
At this point, most of the worst Russian Jews have left Russia for London, New York, Hollywood and Tel Aviv where they are busy being white collar criminals, running Organized Crime gangs, making sleazy porn and in general causing problems and being slimeballs. They tend to be rightwing. For some reason, these Jews have a hatred for Russia that is absolutely deranged. The reasons for that would take another post to describe.
The remaining Jews in Russia are pretty well-behaved. Most are siding with Russia against the Ukies, who they think are Nazis. Putin is a Judeophile, and he has excellent relations with Israel. Of course there is anti-Semitism in Russia; it has been there forever. But there is none at the state level.
Mr. Judah is an instructive case. He shows that both the left wing of Labor and the left wing of the Democratic Party are completely down with US, British and NATO imperialism, and both of these Left Western movements are full of rabid Russia-haters itching for World War 3. Politically speaking, the Anglosphere is truly pitiful.
