Video Transcript AI Summary
Pat Buchanan discusses a remark he made on the McLaughlin Group: "Congress is Israeli occupied territory." He explains that this was meant to express that "the most powerful lobby in Washington, which congress can't stand up to," specifically the pro-Israel lobby, has prevailed in the town year in and year out. He argues that the automatic votes of Congress for three to four billion dollars in aid to Israel are not necessarily in the national interest of the United States. He also says he does not believe the government should subsidize "Israeli socialism," which he claims the U.S. has done, nor should it subsidize a policy on the West Bank of the Jordan River that denies Palestinian rights, which he says he supports equally to rights he supports for Lithuanians and Croatians. Buchanan maintains that Pat Buchanan is entitled to stand up and speak out against any kind of political lobby—whether it is the Greek lobby advocating aid for Greece or the pro-Israel lobby advocating aid for Israel—without being labeled vile. He insists that this is not about silencing advocacy but about opposing what he sees as the subservience of Congress to a powerful lobby. He recalls when the "little flap" about his comment was eighteen months old. He notes that after he made aWise Acre crack about the Amen Corner, people called his newspapers to drop him. He recounts that APAC listed five conservative columnists who accepted the pro-Israel lobby influence, and he describes going on speaking tours in the country where a little girl from the junior league said she received horrible calls from New York urging people to call CNN to get him taken off the air. He asserts that such tactics—people going around synagogues and pressuring media to remove him—are "un American" and done in the name of the First Amendment, but he argues they violate the spirit of the First Amendment. Buchanan emphasizes that he has been in Washington for about twenty-five to thirty years, is controversial, sometimes insensitive, tough, and hard, but he views these tactics as beyond the pale. He frames his stance as a defense of free speech and political debate against organized lobbying and intimidation, insisting that his government should not be subsiding a policy that he views as contrary to national interests and Palestinian rights, while also defending the right to speak out against such lobbies.

Speaker 0: You've also said that congress is a, an Israeli occupied territory. Now what do you mean by that? I said on the McLaughlin Group in response to a question, Jim. They said, do you think that the congress of the United States will resist this demand for further aid? I said, throughout a crack I'd heard. I said, no. The congress of the United States is Israeli occupied territory. What I meant by that is the most powerful lobby in Washington, which congress can't stand up to. One of the most powerful is certainly the pro Israeli lobby. It has gotten its way in this town year in and year out. Town year in and year out. And I don't think the automatic votes of the congress of the United States for 3 and $4,000,000,000 worth of aid to Israel are necessarily in the national interest of The United States. And that comment, which is to ridicule the subservience of the congress of the United States, is perfectly valid. I do not believe my government should subsidize Israeli socialism, which we have done, and I do not believe we should subsidize a policy on the West Bank of the Jordan River, which denies the Palestinian people rights which I support from Lithuania to Croatia. But if I also believe that Pat Buchanan is entitled to stand up and speak out if he against any kind of political lobby, whether it's the Greek lobby, aid for Greece, or whether it's the pro Israeli lobby, aid for Israel without being called vile names. And and you think that's what's happened to you? Let me tell you something, Jim. When this this little flap is eighteen months old Well, it just I made this crack. I know I know Buckley's talking about an eighteen month old column. Let's forget that. When this broke, I made that Wise Acre crack about the Amen Corner. It was Wise Acre. It was very funny. You know what happened as a consequence of that? People called my newspapers that carried my column and said, drop Buchanan. APAC listed five conservative columnists who accepted. The the Jewish The pro Israeli lobby. Right. Israeli lobby. I went out to speak in the country and a little girl from the junior league said I get these horrible calls from New York about you. People, there are individuals who are pro Israeli, go around the country and speak in synagogues and say call CNN and get Pat Buchanan taken off the air. Those kinds of tactics, in my judgment, are un American. They are done in the name of the First Amendment, and they violate the spirit of the First Amendment. You know me. I've been in this town for twenty five year thirty years. I am controversial. I am sometimes insensitive. I am tough, and I am hard. But I think that this type of thing is beyond the pale.

I believe that with some effort, you can uncover the truth every time. I appreciate @fren4cx for the question and @Coal_Fired_ for their deep dive into the past. In a recent discussion, a white person from a South African farming area shared their experience of community solidarity amidst threats, emphasizing that crime isn't racially targeted despite historical context. Additionally, I noted a conversation about the freedom to express views on sensitive topics, like the use of language regarding Nazis.

It may take some digging but you WILL find it EVERY single time. h/t to @fren4cx for the inquiry and @Coal_Fired_ for doing the early life deep dive from 14 years ago.

I’m a white person in a farm area in South Africa, recently, almost burglary victim. I have Black, English & Afrikaans neighbours & we stick together & experience the same threats. There isn’t white targeted crime, despite our history where white ppl targeted crime @ black ppl.
