Some conspiracy theories are more than enlightening
Blitzer edited two magazines run by AIPAC’s founder that took hard-line pro-Israel stances like supporting Israeli settlements in the occupied territories.
One of the jobs, during the 1970s, was as Washington correspondent for the Jerusalem Post, an independent newspaper in Israel. The other was editing publications that were joined at the hip with AIPAC. The Israeli government reportedly used Blitzer’s two hats to launch a stealth attack on Breira, an American Jewish group that had recently gained fame for criticizing Israel’s mistreatment of Palestinians; Breira folded soon after. One historian has linked its demise to AIPAC’s subsequent pressure to quash critical American discussion about Israeli policy. Blitzer’s dual roles suggest that he helped to stifle the conversation.
