Outrage as former CIA officer Valerie Plame Wilson re-tweets anti-Semitic article alleging that 'America's Jews are driving America's wars'

A former undercover CIA agent who was outed in a major scandal during the George W. Bush administration re-tweeted an anti-Semitic article on Thursday alleging a Jewish conspiracy was pushing the United States into war with Iran.

Valerie Plame Wilson posted a tweet Thursday to a link to an article titled ‘America’s Jews Are Driving America’s Wars.’

Wilson’s tweet did not include any explanation as to whether she endorsed the views expressed in the article, though the reaction from social media was unequivocal.

The article was written by a blogger, Philip Giraldi, who writes for a web site called The Unz Review.

It included a photograph of Bill Kristol, editor at large of The Weekly Standard.

Kristol, who is Jewish, is also one of America’s most prominent neoconservatives.

He has expressed support in the past for American military interventions in Bosnia and Iraq.
