Beware the Zbig Lie

Beware the Zbig lie When an American Jewish leader AM Schindler told
White House aides Hamilton Jordan and Robert Lipschutz that "anger and
mistrust" was directed at NSC director Zbigniew Brzezinsld the Carter
White House launched a successful pre-emptive strike Reporters
columnists and editorial writers were individually told that "some
people" \u2014 never specified \u2014 were smearing Brzezinski as an anti-Semite
Dutifully The Washington Post deplored "the frenzy of some American Jews
attacking particular personalities in the administration" and The New
York Times was suckered into editorializing "It is scurrilous to suggest
that Zbigniew Brzezinski the president's security adviser is
anti-Israel \u2014 or anti-Semitic" The irate editorialists never bothered to
ask Zbig who were those "they" he claimed "were saying" they would
"stamp you as an anti' Semite" The source of reports of that
"scurrilous" talk was Brzezinski himself the dissemination orchestrated
by the White House the intent to besmear and discredit legitimate Jewish
concern about wrong-headed Carter Mideast policy Almost fell for that
ploy myself until I remembered that the Ides of March was the
traditional time for stabs in the back Now York Tomes NewsServoce
