   What does 'Ari' (do you know him?) say about Michael "faster, please"   
   Ledeen, who cooperated with various neo-Nazi elements in Italy before   
   helping to found JINSA?

   I haven't provided any reason for thinking 'Haaretz' is anti-Semitic. It   
   obviously isn't anti-Semitic. That would be the kind of view I would   
   associate with Zionists of the kind who think Yitzhak Rabin 'stabbed the   
   nation in the back'.

   I don't understand that last sentence.
