MANY ANTI-SEMITES see themselves as the victims of a sinister and well-coordinated Jewish conspiracy. Kahane, who ironically bears the title of rabbi, also shares this delusion. He claims that "liberal Jewish McCarthyites" plot to supress his views, which are anti-democratic and, many believe, racist. For his visit to Cambridge, therefore, Kahane sought to manufacture local villains. And although he was unsuccessful in getting Harvard or Hillel, the Jewish student center, to oblige by suppressing his speech, Kahane used the material at hand to unleash his standard litany of accusations and threats.
