Transcribed from the clipping

“But those who still oppose genocide — and more particularly the Jewish left-wing intellectuals — had better have another look at what is happening in the Middle East.” And at the close: “if we are not ready to tolerate genocide in Israel (pray God!), the United States may have to face another very grave Cold War problem in the Middle East.”
