During the Jim Crow era, many American communists fiercely fought
racism. This is a fact. It is also a fact that segregationists and
others often smeared civil rights activists by calling them communists.
This technique is sometimes called guilt by association and sometimes
"McCarthyism." If you think it's dead, you have not been following the
controversy over a long essay about the so-called "Israel Lobby."
On April 5, for instance, The Post ran an op-ed, "Yes, It's
Anti-Semitic," by Eliot A. Cohen, a professor at the John Hopkins
School of Advanced International Studies and a respected defense
intellectual. Cohen does not much like a paper on the Israel lobby that
was written by John Mearsheimer of the University of Chicago and
Stephen Walt of Harvard University. He found it anti-Semitic. I did
not.
