Mr. Rogan, you are missing some context. Christopher Hitchens was always very quick to condemn any limitation of free speech as long as that speech was critical of Jews and Israel. In fact, as he himself wrote and spoke about at length, it presented quite an embarrassing problem for this European leftwing activist and dogmatic atheist when he discovered late in life that he was a Jew according to Jewish law. Mr. Hitchens was certainly a smart and colorful person. Yet, he was never able to fully come to terms with his own pertinence to our people. Even when given this giant gift, his engagement with Judaism remained (also intellectually) very superficial and not enough to seriously challenge his atheism or to temper, let alone reverse, his not entirely unearned label as an anti-Semite (http://www.israelnationalnews.com/Articles/Article.aspx/11050). But even if we don't quite get our mission right, the grave is the final purifier. Christopher Hitchens is now surely in a better place.
