It is unfortunate that anyone criticizing Israel in any way, is immediately labeled anti-Semitic. When Israel claimed that John Demjanjuk was Ivan the Terrible, Buchanan came to his defense. This was all it took (besides being a traditional Catholic) to label Buchanan an anti-Semite. Buchanan persisted in Demjanjuk's defense and, in the end, it turned out he was right.
