----------------- HES POSTING ----------------- I hope that it was clear that I did not "claim that Keynes supported Zionism with malicious intent...." I was merely pointing out that his being a supporter of Zionism was not necessarily in conflict with his being an anti-semite--if he was an anti-semite, about which I have no opinion. It could have been "with malicious intent," or it could have been for another reason. It seems clear that Keynes had many Jewish friends and colleagues whom he supported in some way or another. But, having positive views of individuals is not necessarily incompatible at the practical level with the same person also having negative views of collectives.
