I don't find that quote antisemitic. It's reasonable to be in favor of cultural or religious homogeneity. Many Jews thought the same way...hence zionism. Some of Eliot's poetry contains passages that are antisemitic; he's still a great poet.

The article is not offering hagiography. It isn't defending Eliot's ideas or personality, it's merely reaffirming him as a great poet and writer anyway.

Finally, dismissing conservatism as "fundamentally just projection" is a vice of modern liberals. You're missing something if you don't understand the points being made by great conservative intellectuals and artists.
