Steve:
You are making bobad's case. You just can't help yourself.

I recall Jim Carroll posting song lyrics from an anti-Semitic song with no provocation that I could see in another thread. Also, he compared Israel to Nazi Germany which I find anti-Semitic on its face. I also concur with bobad's recent post above.

There is a tactic which our friends are practicing. That is, purposely drawing out partisan responses by the phenomenon of Jew baiting.

Jim Carroll also seems to be a Communist apologist. This is in keeping with anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism because the Party took such positions at various times, and good Communists fell into line with no reflection on objective truth. Refer to the attempt of Jewish authors to capture the Holocaust experience post WWII with The Black Book and its treatment by the Communist dictatorship, which it did not suit. Communists hold history to be a malleable phenomenon to be put at the service of the Party.

This is not an attractive subject. I feel it is appropriate to call attention to it, but I do not feel compelled to jump to its tune.
