Ex-CIA operative Valerie Plame Wilson claims she was just being “thoughtful,” by re-Tweeting an openly anti-Semitic article titled, “America’s Jews Are Driving America’s Wars.”

Plame serves on the board of the Ploughshares Fund, an organization that advocated for the Iranian nuclear deal, and who, along with her husband Joe Wilson, was among the top donors to Hillary Clinton’s Presidential campaign. Earlier this year, she tried to organize a campaign to buy Twitter, so that she could remove “hateful” President Donald Trump from the social platform.
Ironic.
The article is worse, even, than it appears from the headline. According to the author, American Jews must “recuse themselves” from any conversation about the Middle East, and media organizations should be “required to label” Jewish commentators.
“What makes the war engine run is provided by American Jews who have taken upon themselves the onerous task of starting a war with a country that does not conceivably threaten the United States,” the author writes, in his vomitous screed.
The article that Valerie Plame shared calls for Jews to be systemically discriminated against and labeled as “Jewish” when speaking on TV. http://pic.twitter.com/kkJzmvmzym

Plame, apparently unconvinced that her overt anti-Semitism was a problem, tried to justify posting the article. In a series of follow-up Tweets, Plame claimed she wasn’t endorsing the article’s obscene viewpoint, just deeply considering whether Jews were responsible for all global violence. She intended to be “provocative,” she says.
1) First of all, calm down. Re-tweets don’t imply endorsement. Yes, very provocative, but thoughtful. Many neocon hawks ARE Jewish. https://t.co/m5oGgKPo2a

2) Just FYI, I am of Jewish decent. I am not in favor of war with Iran, or getting out of the Iran nuclear treaty. There are simply https://t.co/AR3Jsl1yml

3) too many who are so ready to go to war. Haven’t we had enough for awhile?
4) Read the entire article and try, just for a moment, to https://t.co/wyd3uJ06nt— Valerie Plame Wilson (@ValeriePlame) September 21, 2017
put aside your biases and think clearly. https://t.co/dHsVF8ZCH6

Oddly enough – or perhaps not oddly at all – this isn’t the first time Valerie Plame has shared an article by this same author. Back in 2014, when she was still a darling of the liberal establishment, Plame Tweeted another one of his articles, that one criticizing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for his tough stance on Israeli security. Plame commented, “Well put.”
