“Too white” is a legitimate criticism; “too Jewish” is racist and anti-Semitic. It’s the same thing with “white privilege.”

“By any standard Jews are the most privileged white subgroup. In fact, the median net wealth of a Jewish family is something like 6x the median net wealth of an evangelical family.”

“But while talk about “white privilege” is fashionable, nobody would ever dare utter the phrase “Jewish privilege.”.

“Here is an example of how anti-Semitism has a privileged position within the paleocon world. A few years ago, Randall Parker of Parapundit and I were on good terms, emailed each other regularly, and occasionally commented at each other’s sites. Then in a discussion at his site about Lewis Libby, I stated my position that Libby should have been pardoned, as the special prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald’s case against him was an outrage from start to finish. A commenter said that I had this position because as a “jew,” lower case, I automatically sided with Libby, who is a Jew. Parker then pointed out why the commenter’s reasoning was mistaken. He was polite to him and didn’t criticize his gross anti-Semitism; he only pointed to the logical flaws in his argument. When I mentioned this to Parker, he said that he could not criticize the commenter for his anti-Semitism because many of his readers would not like that.

Thus, in the paleo world, it’s ok to disagree with specific arguments that anti-Semites make; it is not ok to condemn anti-Semitism as such. Realizing that notwithstanding Parker’s frequently expressed respect for my work, he had no problem with, and would not protect me from, anti-Semitic attacks on me at his site, I never posted there again.

Parker thus exemplifies the paleocon profile I have been talking about. He had never himself made anti-Semitic statements as far as I was aware; but he also wouldn’t criticize anti-Semitism, because that was considered a no-no in his world. Among the paleocons, anti-Semitism is allowed, while condemnation of anti-Semitism is not allowed. Anti-Semitism has a privileged position among the paleocons, and all paleocons, whether or not they themselves are anti-Semites, are fellow travellers with anti-Semites.

Here is the entry at Parapundit.

Reply to Randal Parker (Parker posted a comment at Secular Right grossly misrepresenting the incident, and I set the record straight)

In 2007, Randall Parker allowed a commenter to call for my murder (a full discussion of Parker’s relationship to anti-Semitism and of the comments about me he allowed at his site)”
