[R-G] McReynolds on: The Saturday events in Washington DC: reflections

[David Mcreynolds]

Aaron,

I don't know if my response to MacDonald's question ever made it through -
if not, let me know. I don't think Richard Becker is anti-Semitic - but I
tried to deal at length with this and other questions in a long response. 

Solidarity,
David

if Becker were Jewish (he's not!), he wouldn't feel it necessary to distort
reality to avoid being called "anti-Semitic". But the Zionists really do
have the "goyim" intimidated!
