Breitbart Denounces Bill Kristol as ‘Renegade Jew’ for Opposing Trump

Alt right website Breitbart ran a blaring front page headline denouncing The Weekly Standard founder Bill Kristol as a “renegade Jew” Monday.

“Bill Kristol: Republican Spoiler, Renegade Jew Prepares Third Party Effort to Block Trump’s Path to White House,” read the front page. The actual headline isn’t any less inflammatory: “Bill Kristol: Republican Spoiler, Renegade Jew.”

The thirty-paragraph column from David Horowitz spends twenty-nine paragraphs denouncing Kristol for criticizing Donald Trump and reportedly trying to recruit third-party candidates. It isn’t until the thirtieth and final paragraph that Jewishness of any kind is invoked, and Kristol’s Jewishness:

“I am a Jew who has never been to Israel and has never been a Zionist in the sense of believing that Jews can rid themselves of Jew hatred by having their own nation state. But half of world Jewry now lives in Israel, and the enemies whom Obama and Hillary have empowered — Iran, the Muslim Brotherhood, Hezbollah, ISIS, and Hamas — have openly sworn to exterminate the Jews,” he wrote.

“I am also an American (and an American first), whose country is threatened with destruction by the same enemies. To weaken the only party that stands between the Jews and their annihilation, and between America and the forces intent on destroying her, is a political miscalculation so great and a betrayal so profound as to not be easily forgiven,” Horowitz concludes.
