Former National Review Editor Joe Sobran Speaks About Charges of Anti-Semitism

Following the fallout from the National Review attacks on Donald Trump, I would like to bring attention to Joe Sobran, an individual fired by Bill Buckley for speaking out against the Jewish problem.

Sobran was an intelligent Catholic, who was hardly radical. He wrote columns about the Jews and Israel, and was eventually dropped from the magazine. He criticized the pro-Jewish, anti-racist slant of the magazine later in life, and even went on to basically deny the alleged Holocaust (he at least showed strong skepticism about the claims of the Jews).

Like the Daily Stormer, he attacked the Jews with wit and humor. One of the pieces he was fired from the National Review for writing suggested that the New York Times change its name to “Holocaust Update.”

Pat Buchanan called Sobran the best columnist in America.

He was fired by Buckley in 1993, having written for NR since 1972.

Others fired from the National Review include John Derbyshire, Ann Coulter and Peter Brimelow, all of whom now write for VDARE (Brimelow is the editor).

Though Sobran wrote many classic articles on the Jews, perhaps the most classic is his “For Fear of the Jews,” based on a speech he gave for the Institution of Historical Review in 2002.

The above video, from CSPAN in 1986, is very interesting in that it shows that dissidents at the time were dealing with very much the same issues that we are dealing with now. Of special relevance is Sobran’s analysis of this technique of refusing to address arguments with counter-arguments, and instead simply calling people names.

I have personally experienced this process of name-calling, endlessly. What is perhaps most ridiculous is that I am not only called names by the Jews in their media, but also by alleged “White nationalists,” who take issue with my views on feminism and homosexuality, and yet have no desire to directly confront my ideas and arguments, but instead resort to name-calling.

I believe it is of the utmost importance that we continue to press the issue of ideas over people, and engage in argument rather than name-calling. If we refuse to do this, we are no better than the Jews.
