Green greenwald a neo-nazi ? What's wrong with you ..?

I've never heard of Green Greenwald; I'm judging him by the article he wrote: a defense of a genocidal anti-Semitic maniac, and of supporters of suicidal terrorism. (Suicide terrorism was originally a Nazi tactic, adopted by other societies who had Nazi influences; a suicide bombing of a federal building with an airplane is the climactic scene of _The Turner Diaries_.)

    So, if you have some connection to Edward Snowden (not that I know what this guy's would be), it doesn't matter how vile the causes are that you go to bat for? On suicide terrorism and Naziism, read up on the Nazi influences on the Middle East during and after the War. The Ba'ath Party is explicitly National Socialist; Sayyed Qutb and the Muslim Brotherhood were influenced by them, as are organizations descended from them. Anti-Semitism in the Middle East is largely a Nazi import -- this is the same Middle East that the Jews fondly remember as a center of forbearance prior to the modern age. (Thus all those Orientalizing synagogues.) Of course, suicide bombings and suicide terrorism are bad because they're bad, not because they're Nazi-associated. (Conservation, sustainable forestry, and high minimum wages were also Nazi causes, after all.) But there's a Nazi element in modern Islamic terror, which makes it particularly unsettling when a Westerner who's apparently on the far left defends supporters of Islamic terror and supporters of a new Holocaust more or less in the same breath.
