Good point.

Also, it always has to be pointed out: Palestinians are Semitic people. Calling someone of Palestinian descent "antisemitic" is pro-moronic.

Much is known about the persecution of Jews in Europe and America. However, it should be pointed out that Jews had prosperous communities in Europe to be persecuted, while Arabs did not and would not be allowed to being considered "black" in many cases, compared with the light skinned Ashkenazi Jews who are European going back millennium.

From the description given by this Goldfarb goon, some may imagine "Khalidi the antisemite" as a turbaned character toting a Kalashnikov rifle, as opposed to the blue eyed, tweedy, university professor, who I must say would usually be mistaken for Jewish in the US. He's also for a two state solution and argues that during the early 20th century, while Europe and the US actually were viciously antisemitic, especially the Evangelical Christians who now compose the Religious Right of the Republican party, Jews and Arabs lived side by side in relative peace in the Palestinian region.

Here's his Wiki with photo.

Where did they find that "YO!" goon anyways? The Jersey Turnpike?

Googling Goldfarb, Epic FAIL:

"He was previously the online editor for The Weekly Standard, which he took a leave of absence from to work on the campaign.

He has a B.A. in history from Princeton University

While at The Weekly Standard, Goldfarb was the first to raise doubts about the veracity of Scott Beauchamp's then-anonymous Iraq reporting for The New Republic.[6][7] The only named military source in Goldfarb's original piece was conservative pro-war activist and former gay porn actor Matt Sanchez[8][9]. In April 2009, Beauchamp's Staff Sergent John Hatley was convicted of the premeditated murder of 4 Iraqi civilians, murder that he committed at the time Beauchamp was alleging recklessness by troops in Iraq. Hatley had written a blog entry defending himself and his fellow soldiers against charges of recklessness"

Conservative FAIL, journalist FAIL, integrity FAIL, academic FAIL.

RE: "Who was Goldfarb talking about?"

MY COMMENT: Your guess is as good as mine. Wright or Farrakhan?

EXCERPT- Goldfarb: "Look, you're missing the point again, Rick. The point is that Barack Obama has a long track record of being around anti-Semitic, anti-Israel, and anti-American rhetoric."
[snip]
Sanchez: "You said he hangs around with people who are anti-Semitic. OK, we got Khalidi on the table. Give me number two. Who's the other anti-Semitic person that he hangs around with that we, quote, all know about."
[snip]
Goldfarb: "Rick, we both know who Number Two is." [Silence]

...Obviously, Goldfarb realized he had gone too far, probably because he knew that bringing up Louis Farrakhan had been ruled out by his superiors for this campaign, and with good reason: It's a completely specious claim and old news to boot...
