Marty Peretz has, unsurprisingly, been railing against James Baker and his commission, particularly the parts of the ISG report, like the call to discuss a “right of return” (a.k.a. the abolition of Israel by demography), that read as if Baker put on a cowboy hat and led his fellow commissioners in a stirring rendition of “Throw the Jew Down the Well.” Apropos of the discussion below, Peretz sounds a hopeful note: “The good news is that Jimmy Carter agrees with Baker, and the American public knows that Carter is a fool.”
