The New Plame Game

Guess what the Democrats’ favorite former CIA operative, Valerie Plame, was up to last week? Peddling anti-Jewish propaganda on Twitter — and on Rosh Hashanah, no less.

At least she was until her tweet sparked outrage and she apologized — while conveniently pretending it was a simple oversight, rather than just the most outrageous instance of her extremism.

Plame — who got her 15 minutes of fame when she was outed as a CIA analyst after her husband opposed the second Gulf War — tweeted a link to an article on unz.con titled “America’s Jews Are Driving America’s Wars.”

The piece, by a fellow former CIA agent and longtime anti-Israel fanatic, Philip Giraldi, accused Jews of repeatedly pushing for war through their “control” of “the politicians” and “the media and entertainment industries.”

He also demanded that Jews recuse themselves from all foreign-policy decisions.

When her tweet drew an immediate uproar, Plame doubled down, urging her critics to “put aside your biases” and read the entire “provocative, but thoughtful” article, adding: “Many neocon hawks ARE Jewish.”

But as the controversy grew, she finally backed down — now ironically claiming that she hadn’t read the entire article and so had missed its “gross undercurrents.”

Undercurrents? As actor Seth Rogen tweeted, “That was the whole current.” The headline itself summed up the article’s abhorrent content.

She also insisted she wasn’t familiar with the Web site, even though she’s retweeted nine other articles from it — some by the very same author — since 2014, with such titles as “Why I Still Dislike Israel” and “Dancing Israelis on 9/11.”

In other words, her credibility is as bad as it was back when she and husband Robert Wilson were claiming that President George W. Bush had lied us into war.

And if she really missed Giraldi’s blatant antiSemitism, what does that say about her skills as an intelligence analyst?

However, it explains fully why Valerie Plame remains a heroine of the left.
