An article on Slate explores the perversity of Arendt.

In a long, carefully documented essay, Wasserstein cites Arendt's scandalous use of quotes from anti-Semitic and Nazi "authorities" on Jews in her Totalitarianism book.

Wasserstein concludes that her use of these sources was "more than a methodological error: it was symptomatic of a perverse world-view contaminated by over-exposure to the discourse of collective contempt and stigmatization that formed the object of her study"—that object being anti-Semitism. In other words, he contends, Arendt internalized the values of the anti-Semitic literature she read in her study of anti-Semitism, at least to a certain extent.

So Arendt, a committed Zionist, was also an anti-semite. It appears that it is getting harder for anyone of any intellectual import to meet the requirements of political correctness in our dark times.  ¶ 11:49 AM
