Not exactly sure why you find that controversial. Also, Stephens' idea that criticizing Israeli policy is a form of anti-Semitism is wrong and bad for everyone, not just the Jews. Again: Not a controversial idea on my part and something that you can find many Jews (like, for example, John Judis) saying.
Since you appear to be incapable of explaining what you're thinking about it in print, maybe it will have to wait until we can meet in person again.

Nothing you say above has anything to do with what you were saying last night. Last night, other than one random sentence, you were linking to stuff about his other writings maybe, I don't know.
You were out of bounds by the shit you said about me, not some random editorial writer. And "way the fuck out," yes.
But as now understood, you hypothesize a Jew should not raise the point that Jews win lots of Nobels, because bragging about Jewish success makes people dislike Jews even more? Thanks for that. Oh, question, since the NYT readers, and especially of the editorial page, are over-educated liberals, are you saying over-educated liberals are prone to disliking jews?
