It's Just Like The Nazis! Only No, Not Really.

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because Edinburgh.

There is something skin-crawling about Muir using his "Jewish" character to confirm that we are totally putting on the Reich here, even as the bogeyman of George Soros is dragged out, to confirm that evil subversive... Europeans *wink, wink* are working to undermine us.  It's the display of the creepy philosemitic skin that the Right has taken to wrapping its antisemitism in.  The creepiest bit is that some of it is sincere--Muir, like many American Rightists seems to fetishize those aspects of Israel that represent the most profound failure of the old Zionistic dream. 

Because Herzl and company did not envision a world that involved the Jews, after getting their homeland, being involved in a forever war with the Muslims of the Middle East.

Quite the opposite, actually.
