Buckley on Soviet Jews and US foreign policy
In this essay Buckley questions what to do after Soviet Jews can emigrate and critiques Jewish influence on US policy toward the USSR. He cites Kissinger, Solzhenitsyn, Sakharov, and Fulbright, argues for tough stance yet warns against policy collapse if emigration erodes. He also lampoons Western attitudes toward China and urges emigration for Jews in Russia while noting a paradoxical wish for at least one Jew to stay.
