]Noted anti-Semite Patrick Buchanan had a surprise for readers with the release of his latest book: He named Israel as his role model for "national identity."
Buchanan, who is vehemently opposed to immigration from the Third World to the United States, writes in his book, "Day of Reckoning: How Hubris, Ideology, and Greed Are Tearing America Apart,” that the U.S. should follow Israel's example on immigration. "Immigration is restricted to those who are Jewish by birth or faith," he writes. "While Jews from all over the world are urged to settle in Israel or on the West Bank, no Palestinian is permitted to return to the home of his father or grandfather,” he writes.
“Israelis understand it is not ideology that makes a nation. It is not democracy. Jews are a people. And Israel is unapologetic about preserving its ethnic and religious character,” he writes. Buchanan, a former speechwriter for U.S. President Richard Nixon, has often mentioned that U.S. policy in the Middle East, and other parts of the world, are controlled by the “Jewish lobby” that works in Israel's interests.
