Joseph Sobran (born February 23, 1946, Michigan) is an American journalist and writer.
After graduating from college with a major in English and a few years of teaching, Sobran started working at William F. Buckley Jr's National Review magazine in 1972. He stayed twenty-one years, eighteen of them as senior editor. His association with the magazine began to deteriorate following his negative comments about Israel and its Jewish supporters after Israel's invasion of Lebanon. He was fired from the National Review in 1993 after being accused of being an anti-Semite by Norman Podhoretz and others.
He has since written an article entitled "Jewish Power" in the Journal of Historical Review which is published by the Institute for Historical Review, a think tank which promotes Holocaust revisionism. He has also participated in annual conferences of the Institute. Sobran's association with the Institute for Historical Review has cost him the friendship of many people on the neoconservative intellectual right.
Sobran takes the position that,
- "The 9/11 attacks would never have occurred except for the U.S. Government's Middle East policies, which are pretty much dictated by the Jewish-Zionist powers that be in the United States. The Zionists boast privately of their power, but they don't want the gentiles talking about it."
Current political philosophy
In 2002, Joseph Sobran went from identifying as a paleoconservative to advocacy of a libertarian anarchocapitalism. In December 2002 he announced his philosophical and political shift to libertarian anarchism in Sobran's . In the article, he cited inspiration by libertarian theorist Murray Rothbard. Critics such as Tom Palmer have criticized LewRockwell.com for its association with Sobran.
