Ethnicity
Kagan is Jewish. This should be added. http://hpub.org/the-kagans-a-jewish-family-business-of-perpetual-war-at-taxpayer-expense/ 86.187.169.84 (talk)


 * I think we'd need a neutral reliable source for that. MPS1992 (talk) 22:58, 8 November 2018 (UTC)

His father was of "Lithuanian-Jewish descent". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Kagan https://web.archive.org/web/20070809010253/http://www.yalealumnimagazine.com/issues/02_04/kagan.html — Preceding unsigned comment added by 197.188.145.144 (talk) 08:30, 20 March 2019 (UTC)

I'm glad Wikipedia continues to perform its role as enforcer of the Nuremberg laws. Need to make sure we know who all the Jews are. (apparently don't need to know who the Protestants and Catholics are, though.) -- — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wixifixer (talk • contribs) 12:39, 31 March 2021 (UTC)

There are a few errors on the page, if someone would care to address them
Robert Kagan is not a contributing editor at the New Republic.

Robert Kagan is not a contributing editor at the Weekly Standard.

Robert Kagan is not a member of the Council on Foreign Relations.

Robert Kagan is not a "Greek emigrant to the United States." He was born in Greece to American parents.

The article cited in footnote 16 does not refute the assertions of the previous two sentences. The article's first sentence states that "THERE is no evidence of formal links between former Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein and al-Qaeda leaders before the invasion of Iraq by the US in 2003." In the Kagan article cited in footnote 15, Kagan does not allege formal ties between Saddam Hussein and Al Qaeda. Nor does the article cited in footnote 16 refute or, indeed, say anything about Kagan's allegation of the "existence of a terrorist training camp in Iraq, complete with a Boeing 707 for practicing hijackings, and filled with non-Iraqi radical Muslims". That claim may or may not have been accurate, but the article cited in footnote 16 does not address it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wixifixer (talk • contribs) 20:19, 30 March 2021 (UTC)


 * Hello, Wixifixer. I know he's not a CFR member. I deleted that a few days ago. I was trying to figure out how he could be a Greek Jew if his father were from Lithuania (maybe his mother was from Greece? I couldn't find any evidence of that though.) I'll make it clearer, as I had thought he were truly Greek and Jewish for many years, specifically because of this article. Instead, I find that he is just another Pale of Settlement Jew like me. I was trying to figure out if his wife was halachically Jewish (her father is) but couldn't confirm.  As for the final paragraph, if you happen to read this, please tell me if he did ever allege any formal ties between blah and blah pre 2003. I understand that the source cited does not support the claim. If he did make the claim, please provide a source. If he didn't, I'll edit accordingly.--FeralOink (talk) 12:23, 26 June 2022 (UTC)
