Yes, anti-Zionism is anti-Semitism

190. Sorry, but right-libertarian, anti-social-safety net, anti-welfare views are so utterly evil that we

must never support any group or individual that holds such views. This is not cherry-picking. It is a central issue; one that cannot be sacrificed or ignored. People who hold these views are essentially making war on the poor, the ill, and the elderly or disabled; and are killing them just as surely as if they were bombing them.

If a right-winger wishes to support a single issue of the left, that's up to them, and should, I suppose be welcomed; but it does not stop them from being far right. The extreme-right nationalist parties of Europe such as the British National Party and France's National Front are on the whole against the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. This does not make them other than far right-wingers.

Also: this particular organization is a proud descendent of groups that opposed intervention in WW2, and would have let Hitler take over Europe rather than intervene. In most cases, accusing opponents of current wars of being 'appeasers who would have kowtowed to Hitler' is a vile slander; but in the case of this organization, it appears to be quite true. And, although they welcome the support of pacifists, their core views seem to be not based on pacifism, but on an opposition to 'big government'. Their fundamental slogan might be 'Defeat FDR in 1940!'

It is true that being anti-war might appeal to a variety of political perspectives; but antiwar.com is promoting a right-wing perspective. Paleoconservative rather than neoconservative; but the two are equally dangerous in different ways.
