He wrote a book called Two Hundred Years Together about the Jews in Russia. It wouldn't surprise me if it really is antisemitic, but it's utterly pathetic to give a damn about the thought-killing cliches of modernity such as antisemitism, racism, etc., so who cares?

Those who like to use the antisemitic label as a cudgel to stifle discussion on a topic care, and use it as such. This is a such a good example, because despite his first hand experiences, anytime you say the words "jewish bolshevism" together, as he does, you become a target of such a label. Just go look at the wikipedia entry for it, and you would walk away thinking the label is correct! (the truth however, is far separated from wikipedia on controversial subjects)
"In the pamphlet The SS as an Anti-Bolshevist Fighting Organization, published in 1936, Reichsführer-SS Heinrich Himmler wrote:

    We shall take care that never again in Germany, the heart of Europe, will the Jewish-Bolshevik revolution of subhumans be able to be kindled either from within or through emissaries from without.[35]"
damn, when it places you in such august company, it's shocking that using the term "Jewish Bolshevism" gets you accused of antisemitism!
I upvoted you because I think its obvious what you're doing there, and it sorta confirms my point.
