You knew that it would. These arguments must be repudiated—not silenced through intimidation. This cuts to the heart of the whole free speech debate—censorship of bad speech is worse than censorship of good speech, because it paradoxically legitimizes it. In this case, the intimidation only serves to "prove" Walt's and Mearsheimer's point—for those who do not understand the historical function of anti-Semitism, that is. Without such blatant displays of capitulation to Jewish "influence," Jews would not make credible scapegoats in times of crisis. The greater the degree of ostensible Jewish power or "influence," the uglier the backlash will be when it comes. And it is coming. From the NY Sun, March 28:

The ostentatiously named "Truth movement" is not clearing the air, but muddying the water.
